Template:WesnothBinariesLinux/Translations

Not all Distributions are always at the state of the current release. If you want to be sure to have the current version, please get the sources and compile it yourself.

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 different version, you need to explicitly request which branch version of wesnoth you want, e.g. 1.10 (stable and oldstable) or 1.12 (development, for testing and unstable only)
  • backports.debian.org offers the latest stable wesnoth releases for Debian stable, see http://wiki.debian.org/Backports for more informations.

Command-line install

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

aptitude install wesnoth wesnoth-music

International language support

Debian does not come with all locales. If you can't choose your language, you need to add locale for your lang. see man locale.gen for more info.

Compiling

If you want to play with the repository version directly you may have to compile it yourself. See Compiling Wesnoth.

To install the dependencies: You can use the Build-Dependencies command in Aptitude for the Debian package.

Just do the following to pull in most of what you need:

aptitude build-dep wesnoth

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

aptitude purge wesnoth

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your home directory in the folder .wesnoth. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the Compiling Wesnoth page.

SteamOS

At present, installing Battle for Wesnoth on SteamOS is similar to doing so on Debian, as SteamOS is largely based on Debian. However, there are a few steps to take to enable the Debian repositories in SteamOS. Click here for directions. After they are enabled, run the following as root to install wesnoth to use in Desktop mode:

aptitude install wesnoth wesnoth-music

To add a shortcut to launch wesnoth in Big Picture mode, open the Steam client in Desktop mode and follow these instructions. Then close the client and switch back to using Big Picture and it will be under Games.

NOTE: You will need to enable access to the desktop in SteamOS to add the Debian repositories to SteamOS. Click here and scroll down to the heading "How do I get to the desktop on SteamOS? All I see is Steam." for instructions

Steam has Greenlit Battle for Wesnoth on its platform, and the developers have planned an early 2017 release onto the storefront timed with the release of of the 1.14.x series of releases. You can keep apprised of the status here

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
16.10 (Zesty) 1.12.6
16.10 (Yakkety) 1.12.6
16.04 LTS (Xenial) 1.12.5
14.04 LTS (Trusty) 1.10.7

Repos with newer vesions

You can get a more up-to-date version from the Software Center by enabling backports, see here.

PlayDeb might have newer versions, as well.

Almost up-to-date versions are available in this PPA

If you are interested in the development version of wesnoth, you can get it from this PPA: ppa:pkg-games/wesnoth-devel

Another alternative with backports, especially wesnoth 1.11 from debian is c42-backport-games PPA: ppa:dirk-computer42/c42-backport-games. Note that it is not recommended to use packages from Debian on Ubuntu due to the multiple Ubuntu-specific changes that would be needed. See [1] for more informations.

Compiling

If you choose to build Wesnoth from source you should add the datadir flag to configure to ensure your installation puts the data in the same place as the official installation path:

cd /usr/src
tar -xvjf wesnoth-1.x.x.tar.bz2
cd wesnoth-1.x.x
./configure --datadir=/usr/share/games ...
make
sudo make install
