Error while trying to open 'Love2d' game engine

I'm trying to open a game with Love2D and the following error occurs:

Error

boot.lua:577: Cannot load game at path '/home/panali/Desktop/Lua.love/main.lua'. Make sure a folder exists at the specified path.

Traceback

[C]: in function 'error'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Can anyone help me and tell me what am I doing wrong?

If you drag the folder to the love icon instead of dragging the main.lua file to the love icon it works.

you can't just give the location of the file, you need to give to location of the folder. try putting main.lua inside a folder and then run the folder.

had the same issue, resolved this by pointing folder instead filename:

love ./

instead of

love main.lua

You can try to open the folder instead of lua file

I dont know if you're still looking at this, the error is that you cant open a main.lua directly, it has to be in a folder.
