===Compiling===
  
 +
If you want to run a newer release than the ones provided in the Debian repositories, or an unreleased version from the [[WesnothRepository|Git repository]], you will have to build it from source. See [https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob/master/INSTALL.md Compiling Wesnoth] for more details.
  
====> If you want to install the latest Development version you may have to compile it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth].
+
To install Wesnoth's dependencies if you have Debian's source repositories enabled in your config, you can just use apt's <code>build-dep</code> command with the package that best matches the version you are trying to build:
  
'''To install the dependencies :'''
+
# Stable version
<code>aptitude install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libfreetype6-dev</code>
+
aptitude build-dep wesnoth
 +
# Development version
 +
aptitude build-dep wesnoth-1.14
  
Remains one package : libintl which isn't in the Debian packages database, but I think you can install it by
+
'''Note:''' If you have already installed an older version of Wesnoth, you should uninstall it first by running:
  
<code>aptitude install gettext</code>
+
# Stable version
 +
aptitude purge wesnoth
 +
# Development version
 +
aptitude purge wesnoth-1.14
  
If someone may confirm that ...
+
Bear in mind that this will '''not''' remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]].
  
'''To compile it :'''
+
Additionally, build-dep will not install libssl-dev automatically due to a Debian patch to use WolfSSL instead due to a licence incompatibility with OpenSSL, so you will need to install that manually. This will likely be resolved within the next couple of years once OpenSSL 3 comes into use since that version will resolve the license incompatibility.
If you have already installed and older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by :
 
  
<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>
+
== Ubuntu ==
  
Note that will remove all your wesnoth configuration.
+
[http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/wesnoth Click here] to install the latest version of the <code>wesnoth</code> packaged for your release. Alternatively, search for "wesnoth" in the ''Ubuntu Software Center'' or use following command:
Then, download the source by wget, or your internet navigator. Save it in the /usr/src directory.
 
Now, it's very easy :
 
  
<code>cd /usr/src</code>
+
sudo apt-get install wesnoth
  
<code>tar -xvzf wesnoth-1.1.1.tar.gz</code>
+
===Available Versions===
  
<code>cd wesnoth-1.1.1</code>

Different releases of Ubuntu provide different versions of Wesnoth in their repositories. Often, this version will be older than the most current Wesnoth.

To install the latest stable version (as root):
  
Battle for Wesnoth 1.0.1-1 is included in Ubuntu Dapper's universe collection. This is the latest stable release. As this is not the latest version, Breezy users will need to do one of the following to obtain the latest version:

urpmi wesnoth
*Upgrade to the Dapper Drake, or
 
*Use the Breezy-Backports repository,
 
*Use an unofficial repository, or
 
*Build from the source per Debian above, or
 
*Use the generic binary for GNU/Linux found on the [[Download]] page.
 
  
Of these options, the final one is most likely the easiest at this time, while building from source is the most reliable.

Do not attempt to install the debian package and associated dependencies using ''dpkg'' as you will break your environment!

You can also use the GUI package manager RPMDrake (in the Control Centre).

Not all distributions carry the latest stable or development releases. If you want to make sure you are running the newest official version of Wesnoth from either branch, either get the sources from the Download page and compile them yourself or use the flatpak below.

Flatpak

A flatpak of the current stable release can be found here.

A nightly flatpak of Wesnoth's development branch is also available. Instructions for getting it can be found here.

Arch Linux

  • The latest stable version can be installed from the [community] repository: pacman -S wesnoth
  • There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in the AUR.

Debian

  • Official packages including the development releases. If you want a different version, you need to explicitly request which branch you want, e.g. 1.12 (stretch), or 1.14 (buster, bullseye, and sid)
  • backports.debian.org offers the latest stable wesnoth releases, albeit only backported to stretch at this time. For more info on Debian backports, click here.

Command-line install

To install Wesnoth, run the following to pull in everything:

aptitude install wesnoth wesnoth-music

Compiling

If you want to run a newer release than the ones provided in the Debian repositories, or an unreleased version from the Git repository, you will have to build it from source. See Compiling Wesnoth for more details.

To install Wesnoth's dependencies if you have Debian's source repositories enabled in your config, you can just use apt's build-dep command with the package that best matches the version you are trying to build:

# Stable version
aptitude build-dep wesnoth
# Development version
aptitude build-dep wesnoth-1.14

Note: If you have already installed an older version of Wesnoth, you should uninstall it first by running:

# Stable version
aptitude purge wesnoth
# Development version
aptitude purge wesnoth-1.14

Bear in mind that this will not remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your home directory.

Additionally, build-dep will not install libssl-dev automatically due to a Debian patch to use WolfSSL instead due to a licence incompatibility with OpenSSL, so you will need to install that manually. This will likely be resolved within the next couple of years once OpenSSL 3 comes into use since that version will resolve the license incompatibility.

Ubuntu

Click here to install the latest version of the wesnoth packaged for your release. Alternatively, search for "wesnoth" in the Ubuntu Software Center or use following command:

sudo apt-get install wesnoth

Available Versions

Different releases of Ubuntu provide different versions of Wesnoth in their repositories. Often, this version will be older than the most current Wesnoth.

Release Packaged Version
22.04 LTS (Jammy) 1.16.2
21.10 (Impish) 1.14.17
20.04 LTS (Focal) 1.14.9

To install the latest unstable version (when available), add the following line to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file before running the emerge command:

games-strategy/wesnoth ~*

The ebuild is currently maintained by the Gentoo Games Project

Mageia / Rosa Linux / OpenMandriva Lx

To install the latest stable version (as root):

urpmi wesnoth

For the development version (Rosa Linux and OpenMandriva Lx only, as root):

urpmi wesnoth-unstable

You can also use the GUI package manager RPMDrake (in the Control Centre).

To install latest Battle for Wesnoth version available you need to enable the following repository using the Control Centre:

Distribution Repository for wesnoth Repository for wesnoth-unstable
Rosa Linux Desktop / OpenMandriva Lx contrib release contrib updates
Rosa Linux LTS contrib updates contrib updates
Mageia core release N/A
