I installed the Java, but I can't find spiral-install.bin anywhere on this site and I don't want to download from a torrent unless I really have to. Is there any alternative?

EDIT: Never mind I am an idiot. Continue your day normally.
EDIT 2: I get this error when I run put this line in my Terminal: sudo sh (path to spiral-install.bin)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'

Oddly I used an Ubuntu Live

Oddly I used an Ubuntu Live install off a USB key and was able to start up Spiral Knights via the website installer just as I had under Windows. Ignoring that the FPS was ass because of a lack of hardware acceleration, it was a problem free install and run. Try doing the installation through the website like everyone else rather than trying to be an uber leet hacker and console hack your way into the game. >)

I get this error when I run put this line in my Terminal: sudo sh (path to spiral-install.bin)

I'd try just running it:

chmod u+x spiral-install.bin
./spiral-install.bin

Okay so that worked but now

Okay so that worked but now for some reason it isn't accepting the '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun' when it asks for my java version, I installed the correct version from the wiki.

Edit: There was some lag in the system and the java didn't properly install, all is fine now.
