Hi all,  
I just made a fresh install of Linux Mint 18.3 on my laptop.  
I also installed Wine and Winetricks and after that I downloaded the EVE laucnher for Linux by Snorlax.

After extracting it in the appropriate folder and opening the [evelauncher.sh](http://evelauncher.sh) file in terminal, I get the following message in terminal:

/home/pjotr/EVE Online/evelauncher/evelauncher.sh: 12: export: Online/evelauncher: bad variable name

Anyone know what could be wrong?

Try renaming the EVE Online folder to EVEOnline - the space character might be causing an issue.

Thank you very much Snorlax 😉
