I tried installing Forge on Linux on the Minecraft installation I got through the flathub repo and when trying to launch the game I get a error stating the following:

 

Failed to start download.

Name: 1.16.4-forge-35.1.36.jar

URL: https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/1952d94a0784e7abda230aae6a1e8fc0522dba99/client.jar

Error details: Permission denied Couldn't open file for download Filename on disk: 1.16.4-forge-35.1.36.jar

Path: /home/antoniochavez/.var/app/com.mojang.Minecraft/data/minecraft/versions/1.16.4-forge-35.1.36/1.16.4-forge-35.1.36.jar

Exists: Nonexistent

 

I manually checked the directory to see if the jar file did install to which it did but I wasn't able to change the folder's permissions even after tryin chmod +x (every subfolder in the Minecraft directory). Is this a problem on Forge's end or a problem with using a Flatpak seeing as the changing of permissions wasn't required when I installed it as a Snap under Ubuntu?

Did you run the installer as sudo?

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.
