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 [https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob/master/INSTALL.md compile them yourself] or use the nightly flatpak below.

== Flatpak ==
A nightly flatpak of Wesnoth's development branch is available. Instructions for getting it can be found [https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47872 here].

A flatpak of the current stable release(1.14) is also available [https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.wesnoth.Wesnoth here].

== Arch Linux ==
* The latest stable version can be installed from the [community] repository: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wesnoth-devel/ the AUR].

== Debian ==
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth Official packages] including the development releases. If you want a different version, you need to explicitly request which branch you want, e.g. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.12 1.12] (stretch), or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.14 1.14] (buster, bullseye, and sid)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the latest stable wesnoth releases, albeit only backported to stretch at this time. For more info on Debian backports, click [http://wiki.debian.org/Backports 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 [[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.

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:

# 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 [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]].




== Ubuntu ==

[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:

<div class="tright"> __TOC__ </div>

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 [[CompilingWesnoth|compile them youself]] or use the nightly flatpak below.

== Flatpak ==
A nightly flatpak of Wesnoth's development branch is available. Instructions for getting it can be found [https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47872 here].

A flatpak of the current stable release(1.14) is also available [https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.wesnoth.Wesnoth here].

== Arch Linux ==
* The latest stable version can be installed from the [community] repository: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wesnoth-devel/ the AUR].

== Debian ==
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth Official packages] including the development releases. If you want a different version, you need to explicitly request which branch you want, e.g. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.10 1.10] (wheezy and jessie) or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.12 1.12] (stretch, buster, and sid)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the latest stable wesnoth releases for Debian stable, see http://wiki.debian.org/Backports for more information.

===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 [[WesnothRepository|Git repository]], you will have to build it from source. See [[CompilingWesnoth|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 <code>build-dep</code> 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-1.13

'''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-1.13

Bear in mind that this will '''not''' remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]].

== Steam client for Linux and SteamOS==

Previously, installing Battle for Wesnoth on SteamOS was similar to doing so on Debian (as SteamOS is largely based on Debian) albeit with a few extra steps to enable the Debian repositories in SteamOS.

Now, Wesnoth is now available on SteamOS and the Steam client for Linux. [https://store.steampowered.com/app/599390/Battle_for_Wesnoth/ Click here] to go to the store page in your browser.

===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 [[WesnothRepository|Git repository]], you will have to build it from source. See [[CompilingWesnoth|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 <code>build-dep</code> 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-1.13

'''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-1.13

Bear in mind that this will '''not''' remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]].

== 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. [http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/648814396114274132/ 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 [https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2219-YDJV-5557 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. [https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/648814395741989999/ 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 prior to the end of Steam Greenlight, 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.

BiafraRepublic:

== Is it convenient to clean some information? ==
* Compile information should not be here
* Vine Linux section is terribly outdated, it just misinforms
* Yoper Linux is dead (http://yoper-linux.org/2012/11/time-to-close-shop/)

Bonus:
* It is relevant to maintain openSUSE 11.1 (Dec 2008), openSUSE 11.2 (Nov 2009) information? Why not maintain Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04... information too? I think it is obsolete.

Response from the concerned user editing the main Linux Binaries page:
* I try and edit the pages whenever I get a chance to check up on things. It's not as often as I like, so thankfully, this being a wiki and all, one can easily contribute when one can.
* I am doing some trimming down today, dropping Mandriva, all non-desktop-supported Ubuntu versions, and other clearly EOL linux items. Also, I'm trimming Vine to use VineSeed only, as that is seeing some life.
* The distribution-specific compile information stays, since there are specific steps needed to be followed for these distributions.
* Since Yoper is still available, albeit dead, it should be left for now. In November, if there are no changes in status, then the section should be wiped.

== "International language support" in Ubuntu ==

I commented out this section in r42634. First off, all i10n I've tested in Lucid (1.6) and Natty (1.8) seems to be working fine without intervention. Second, there is no <code>--dummy-locales</code> option after 1.6, as the section claims. Third, I don't know the situation in 1.4, but every Ubuntu release with less than 1.6 in the repository is now firmly EOL.

By all means though, if parts of the section are useful/not incorrect to anyone, please restore them. [[User:Naranja|Naranja]] 04:02, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

BiafraRepublic: My usual semi-regular update to trim and maintain this page.

{{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: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Debian ==
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth 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. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.10 1.10] (stable and oldstable) or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.12 1.12] (development, for testing and unstable only)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the 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 [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth 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 <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page.

== SteamOS ==
Installing Battle for Wesnoth on SteamOS is similar to doing so on Debian, as SteamOS is largely based on Debian 7.0 "wheezy". However, there are a few steps to take to enable the Debian repositories in SteamOS. [http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/648814396114274132/ 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 [https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2219-YDJV-5557 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. [https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/648814395741989999/ Click here] and scroll down to the heading "How do I get to the desktop on SteamOS? All I see is Steam." for instructions

== Ubuntu ==

[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:

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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Release
! Packaged Version
|-
| 15.10 (Wily)
| 1.12.4
|-
| 15.04 (Vivid) / 14.10 (Utopic) / 14.04 LTS (Trusty)
| 1.10.7
|-
| 12.04 LTS (Precise)
| 1.10.2
|}

===Repos with newer vesions===

You can get the very latest version from the Software Center by enabling backports, [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports see here].

[http://www.playdeb.net/software/Battle%20for%20Wesnoth PlayDeb usually has the latest version very promptly, as well.]

If you are interested in the development version of wesnoth, you can get it from this PPA: [http://launchpad.net/~rhonda/+archive/wesnoth-devel ppa:rhonda/wesnoth-devel]

Another alternative with backports, especially wesnoth 1.11 from debian is c42-backport-games PPA: [http://launchpad.net/~dirk-computer42/+archive/c42-backport-games 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 [http://www.computer42.org/xwiki-static/exported/DevNotes/xwiki.DevNotes.c42-ppa.html] 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

== Fedora ==
Battle for Wesnoth is included in [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4097 Fedora]. The current version of Battle for Wesnoth is available for ARM, x86, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:limb_AT_jcomserv.net Jon Ciesla].

== Arch Linux ==
* The latest stable version can be installed from the [community] repository: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Debian ==
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth 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. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.8 1.8] (older stable), [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.10 1.10] (stable), or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.11 1.11] (development, for unstable and testing only)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the 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

===Compiling===

If you want to play with the repository version directly you may have to compile it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth 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 <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page.

BiafraRepublic: Trimming EOL'd distribution versions, updating Gentoo available versions, etc., etc., etc.

{{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: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Debian ==
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth 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. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.8 1.8] (older stable), [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.10 1.10] (stable), or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.11 1.11] (development, for unstable and testing only)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the 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 [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth 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 <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page.

== Ubuntu ==

[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:

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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Release
! Packaged Version
|-
| 13.10 (Saucy)
| 1.10.6
|-
| 12.10 (Quantal)
| 1.10.4, with 1.10.5 in backports
|-
| 12.04 (Precise)
| 1.10.2
|}

===Repos with newer vesions===

You can get the very latest version from the Software Center by enabling backports, [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports see here].

[http://www.playdeb.net/software/Battle%20for%20Wesnoth PlayDeb usually has the latest version very promptly, as well.]

If you are interested in the development version of wesnoth, you can get it from this PPA: [http://launchpad.net/~rhonda/+archive/wesnoth-devel ppa:rhonda/wesnoth-devel]

Another alternative with backports, especially wesnoth 1.11 from debian is c42-backport-games PPA: [http://launchpad.net/~dirk-computer42/+archive/c42-backport-games 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.

===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

== Fedora ==
Battle for Wesnoth is included in [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4097 Fedora]. The current version of Battle for Wesnoth is available for ARM, x86, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:limb_AT_jcomserv.net Jon Ciesla].

To install simply run:
yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server

== Gentoo ==
To install the game only, run the following as root:
emerge wesnoth

To install the game and the server, add 'server' to your USE flags, then run emerge as above.

Note: Gentoo currently operates as a rolling-release, updated approximately weekly.

The latest version marked stable is 1.10.7 for amd64, x86, ppc, andppc64.

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 Michael Sterrett.

== Mageia / Rosa ==

To install the latest stable version (as root):

urpmi wesnoth

For the development version (Rosa only, as root):

urpmi wesnoth-unstable

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

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: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Debian ==
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth 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. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.8 1.8] (older stable), [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.10 1.10] (stable), or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.11 1.11] (development, for unstable and testing only)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the 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:

BiafraRepublic: /* Gentoo */

{{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: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Debian ==
* <code>aptitude install wesnoth</code><br/>(use <code>wesnoth-all</code> if you want to pull in all the campaigns and the editor, too)
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth Official packages] including the development releases. You need to explicitly request which branch version of wesnoth you want, e.g. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.8 1.8] (stable) or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.10 1.10] (development)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the stable wesnoth releases for Debian stable, see http://wiki.debian.org/Backports for more informations.

===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.
quick guide for lenny: uncomment locales you want in /etc/locale.gen, then as root run "locale-gen".

===Compiling===

If you want to play with the repository version directly you may have to compile it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth].

'''To install the dependencies:'''

You can use a neat trick: Use the Build-Dependencies of the Debian package.

Just do an <code>aptitude build-dep wesnoth</code>. That will pull in most you need.

'''To compile it:'''<br/>
If you have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by:

<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your home directory in the folder <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page, no need to duplicate that informations in here. :)

BiafraRepublic: Adding carriage returns to keep Pardus from crashing into Mandriva/Mageia/Rosa

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: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Debian ==
* <code>aptitude install wesnoth</code><br/>(use <code>wesnoth-all</code> if you want to pull in all the campaigns and the editor, too)
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth Official packages] including the development releases. You need to explicitly request which branch version of wesnoth you want, e.g. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.8 1.8] (stable) or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.10 1.10] (development)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the stable wesnoth releases for Debian stable, see http://wiki.debian.org/Backports for more informations.

===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.
quick guide for lenny: uncomment locales you want in /etc/locale.gen, then as root run "locale-gen".

===Compiling===

If you want to play with the repository version directly you may have to compile it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth].

'''To install the dependencies:'''

You can use a neat trick: Use the Build-Dependencies of the Debian package.

Just do an <code>aptitude build-dep wesnoth</code>. That will pull in most you need.

'''To compile it:'''<br/>
If you have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by:

<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your home directory in the folder <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page, no need to duplicate that informations in here. :)

== Ubuntu ==

[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:

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.

[http://www.playdeb.net/software/Battle%20for%20Wesnoth PlayDeb usually has the latest version very promptly, as well.]

If you are interested in the development version of wesnoth, you can get it from this PPA: [http://launchpad.net/~rhonda/+archive/wesnoth-devel ppa:rhonda/wesnoth-devel]

===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

BiafraRepublic: /* OpenSUSE */

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 ==
* For the official pkg from [extra]: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Debian ==
* <code>aptitude install wesnoth</code><br/>(use <code>wesnoth-all</code> if you want to pull in all the campaigns and the editor, too)
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth Official packages] including the development releases. You need to explicitly request which branch version of wesnoth you want, e.g. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.8 1.8] (stable) or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.10 1.10] (development)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the stable wesnoth releases for Debian stable, see http://wiki.debian.org/Backports for more informations.

===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.
quick guide for lenny: uncomment locales you want in /etc/locale.gen, then as root run "locale-gen".

===Compiling===

If you want to play with the repository version directly you may have to compile it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth].

'''To install the dependencies:'''

You can use a neat trick: Use the Build-Dependencies of the Debian package.

Just do an <code>aptitude build-dep wesnoth</code>. That will pull in most you need.

'''To compile it:'''<br/>
If you have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by:

<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your home directory in the folder <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page, no need to duplicate that informations in here. :)

== Ubuntu ==

[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:

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.

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| 10.04 LTS (Lucid)
| 1.6, and 1.10 with backports enabled
|}

===Repos with newer vesions===

You can get the very latest version from the Software Center by enabling backports, [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports see here].

[http://www.playdeb.net/software/Battle%20for%20Wesnoth PlayDeb usually has the latest version very promptly, as well.]

If you are interested in the development version of wesnoth, you can get it from this PPA: [http://launchpad.net/~rhonda/+archive/wesnoth-devel ppa:rhonda/wesnoth-devel]

===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

== Fedora ==
Battle for Wesnoth is included in [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4097 Fedora]. The current version of Battle for Wesnoth is available for ppc, i386, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:limb_AT_jcomserv.net Jon Ciesla].

To install simply run:
* <code>yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server</code>

== Gentoo ==
For the stable release just type:
* <code>emerge wesnoth</code>

We don't currently know an emerge recipe for building the current development release. There was one in former times, but that method bit-rotted in 2009.

== Mandriva / Rosa ==
stable version: <code>urpmi wesnoth</code>

development version: <code>urpmi wesnoth-unstable</code>

or use the GUI installer (in the Control Centre)

To install latest Battle for Wesnoth version in currently supported Mandriva releases you need to enable the contrib backports repo: you can do this in the Mandriva Control Centre.

== Pardus ==
* Run Package Manager, click Games section, select Wesnoth and click install.
* If you prefer to install Wesnoth from command line type <code>pisi it wesnoth</code>.

== Slackware ==

* Slackbuilds for Battle for Wesnoth on Slackware 13 are for 1.6.5. Developmental branch requires you to edit a new line between 65 & 66 with './autogen.sh' in addition to changing the version number in the wesnoth.SlackBuild script.

* Packages of Battle for Wesnoth for Slackware 12.2 can be downloaded from [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?sear=wesnoth&ver=6 slacky.eu] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.6.3

* Building from source using SlackBuild script for Slackware 12.2 [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/games/wesnoth/ SlackBuilds.org] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.6.1 Note: Probably could be used for building newer 1.6.x version.

Note: Depends on boost package (+ icu package if you use binary from slacky.eu), so it should be installed before installing Battle for Wesnoth binary or compiling from source.

Install boost and icu binary from slacky.eu [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?sear=boost&ver=6 boost] [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?ver=6&sear=icu icu]

Compile boost from source using SlackBuild script [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/development/boost/ SlackBuilds.org]

* Installation:

Binary package: Downloaded Battle for Wesnoth binary, boost and icu dependency install with installpkg command.

For example: #installpkg wesnoth-1.6.3-i486-1sl.tgz boost-1.39.0-i686-1as.tgz icu-3.6-i486-2sl.tgz

SlackBuild script: Consult SlackBuilds [http://slackbuilds.org/howto/ HOWTO]

===Repos with newer vesions===

You can get the very latest version from the Software Center by enabling backports, [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports see here].

[http://www.playdeb.net/software/Battle%20for%20Wesnoth PlayDeb usually has the latest version very promptly, as well.]

If you are interested in the development version of wesnoth, you can get it from this PPA: [http://launchpad.net/~rhonda/+archive/wesnoth-devel ppa:rhonda/wesnoth-devel]

===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

== Fedora ==
Battle for Wesnoth is included in [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4097 Fedora]. The current version of Battle for Wesnoth is available for ppc, i386, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:limb_AT_jcomserv.net Jon Ciesla].

To install simply run:
* <code>yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server</code>

== Gentoo ==
For the stable release just type:
* <code>emerge wesnoth</code>

We don't currently know an emerge recipe for building the current development release. There was one in former times, but that method bit-rotted in 2009.

== Mandriva / Rosa ==
stable version: <code>urpmi wesnoth</code>

development version: <code>urpmi wesnoth-unstable</code>

or use the GUI installer (in the Control Centre)

To install latest Battle for Wesnoth version in currently supported Mandriva releases you need to enable the contrib backports repo: you can do this in the Mandriva Control Centre.

== Pardus ==
* Run Package Manager, click Games section, select Wesnoth and click install.
* If you prefer to install Wesnoth from command line type <code>pisi it wesnoth</code>.

== Slackware ==

* Slackbuilds for Battle for Wesnoth on Slackware 13 are for 1.6.5. Developmental branch requires you to edit a new line between 65 & 66 with './autogen.sh' in addition to changing the version number in the wesnoth.SlackBuild script.

* Packages of Battle for Wesnoth for Slackware 12.2 can be downloaded from [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?sear=wesnoth&ver=6 slacky.eu] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.6.3

* Building from source using SlackBuild script for Slackware 12.2 [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/games/wesnoth/ SlackBuilds.org] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.6.1 Note: Probably could be used for building newer 1.6.x version.

Note: Depends on boost package (+ icu package if you use binary from slacky.eu), so it should be installed before installing Battle for Wesnoth binary or compiling from source.

Install boost and icu binary from slacky.eu [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?sear=boost&ver=6 boost] [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?ver=6&sear=icu icu]

Compile boost from source using SlackBuild script [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/development/boost/ SlackBuilds.org]

* Installation:

Binary package: Downloaded Battle for Wesnoth binary, boost and icu dependency install with installpkg command.

For example: #installpkg wesnoth-1.6.3-i486-1sl.tgz boost-1.39.0-i686-1as.tgz icu-3.6-i486-2sl.tgz

WesnothBinariesLinux

2011-12-26T10:24:39Z

BiafraRepublic: /* SuSE / OpenSUSE */ Updated drastically out of date openSUSE section. Also, renamed it as none of the SLE package repos have valid URLs...

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 ==
* For the official pkg from [extra]: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Ark Linux ==
* Ark Linux includes an official wesnoth package, currently at version 1.7.0. Simply use the package installation tool to install the wesnoth package, or run <code>apt-get update; apt-get install wesnoth</code> (or <code>apt-get -t dockyard-devel install wesnoth</code> if you wish to run the current development version of wesnoth with all other packages from the stable tree)
* Users of other similar distributions can download the packages at [http://arklinux.osuosl.org/dockyard-devel the Ark Linux file server]. They are likely to run on any rpm based distribution that uses a recent version of gcc (>= 4.0) and glibc (>= 2.4).

== Debian ==
* <code>aptitude install wesnoth</code><br/>(use <code>wesnoth-all</code> if you want to pull in all the campaigns and the editor, too)
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth Official packages] including the development releases. You need to explicitly request which branch version of wesnoth you want, e.g. [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.8 1.8] (stable) or [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth-1.9 1.9] (development)
* [http://backports-master.debian.org/ backports.debian.org] offers the stable wesnoth releases for Debian stable, see http://wiki.debian.org/Backports for more informations.

===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.
quick guide for lenny: uncomment locales you want in /etc/locale.gen, then as root run "locale-gen".

===Compiling===

If you want to play with the SVN version directly you may have to compile it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth].

'''To install the dependencies:'''

You can use a neat trick: Use the Build-Dependencies of the Debian package.

Just do an <code>aptitude build-dep wesnoth</code>. That will pull in most you need.

'''To compile it:'''<br/>
If you have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by:

<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your home directory in the folder <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page, no need to duplicate that informations in here. :)

== Ubuntu ==

[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 (:

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. Red cells denote old, now unsupported Ubuntu releases.

If you are interested in the development version of wesnoth, you can get it from this PPA: [http://launchpad.net/~rhonda/+archive/wesnoth-devel ppa:rhonda/wesnoth-devel]

===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

make
sudo make install



== Fedora ==
Battle for Wesnoth is included in [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora]. The current version of Battle for Wesnoth is available for ppc, i386, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:limb_AT_jcomserv.net Jon Ciesla].

To install simply run:
* <code>yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server</code>

== Gentoo ==
For the stable release just type:
* <code>emerge wesnoth</code>

For the development release you will have to fetch an overlay, eg from this site:
http://www.dorf.wh.uni-dortmund.de/priv/markus/wesnoth-dev.tbz
extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type
<code>emerge wesnoth-dev</code>
The ebuild will be updated whenever the person creating the ebuild finds the time to do so.

Or if you're too impatient to wait and willing to take the risk of things blowing up, download
and extract the overlay, make a copy of the highest available ebuild version, but change the version number to
that of Wesnoth version you want (for instance, wesnoth-dev-1.3.2.ebuild might become
wesnoth-dev-1.3.8.ebuild ), run
<code>ebuild [new ebuild file] digest</code>
and then try to emerge. It may or may not work, depending on exactly how extensive the changes in the Wesnoth
source are--going from 1.3.2 to 1.3.8 this way worked for me.
There's an ebuild for 1.5.8 on Gentoo Bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256513

For building from svn tree download the portage overlay from:
http://www.dorf.wh.uni-dortmund.de/priv/markus/wesnoth-svn.tbz
extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type
<code>emerge wesnoth-svn</code>

wesnoth-dev are the official development releases
while wesnoth-svn will build straight from SVN-source tree to keep you up to date with the lastest changes and all the errors ;-)
updating wesnoth-svn will not work ! you have to reemerge it each time you want to update !

Note: Neither wesnoth-dev nor wesnoth-svn seem to be maintained (as seen Nov 2009). The easiest way
should be downloading the source and following the instructions to build wesnoth in the source directory
with cmake and as a normal user. Inside the source directory start with ''./wesnoth'', as opposed
to ''wesnoth'' from your portage tree.

== Mandriva ==
<code>urpmi wesnoth</code>

or use the GUI installer (in the Control Centre)

To install Battle for Wesnoth 1.8 in Mandriva 2009,2009.1 and 2010 you need to enable the contrib backports repo: you can do this in the Mandriva Control Centre .

== Pardus ==
* Run Package Manager, click Games section, select Wesnoth and click install.
* If you prefer to install Wesnoth from command line type <code>pisi it wesnoth</code>.

== Slackware ==

* Slackbuilds for Battle for Wesnoth on Slackware 13 are for 1.6.5. Developmental branch requires you to edit a new line between 65 & 66 with './autogen.sh' in addition to changing the version number in the wesnoth.SlackBuild script.

* Packages of Battle for Wesnoth for Slackware 12.2 can be downloaded from [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?sear=wesnoth&ver=6 slacky.eu] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.6.3

* Building from source using SlackBuild script for Slackware 12.2 [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/games/wesnoth/ SlackBuilds.org] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.6.1 Note: Probably could be used for building newer 1.6.x version.

Note: Depends on boost package (+ icu package if you use binary from slacky.eu), so it should be installed before installing Battle for Wesnoth binary or compiling from source.

Install boost and icu binary from slacky.eu [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?sear=boost&ver=6 boost] [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?ver=6&sear=icu icu]

Compile boost from source using SlackBuild script [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/development/boost/ SlackBuilds.org]

* Installation:

Binary package: Downloaded Battle for Wesnoth binary, boost and icu dependency install with installpkg command.

For example: #installpkg wesnoth-1.6.3-i486-1sl.tgz boost-1.39.0-i686-1as.tgz icu-3.6-i486-2sl.tgz

* dibblethewrecker also provides regular SVN snapshots. Please see [ http://dtw.jiwe.org/content.php?article.9 here] for details of how to access the repo. As development of wesnoth continues this repo is likely to follow the unstable branch.

=== Ark Linux ===
* Ark Linux includes an official wesnoth package, currently at version 1.3.19 Simply use the package installation tool to install the wesnoth package, or run <code>apt-get update; apt-get install wesnoth</code> (or <code>apt-get -t dockyard-devel install wesnoth</code> if you wish to run the current development version of wesnoth with all other packages from the stable tree)

'''To install the dependencies:'''

You can use a neat trick: Use the Build-Dependencies of the Debian package.

Just do an <code>aptitude build-dep wesnoth</code>. That will pull in most you need. As of 1.4 stable wesnoth, the dependencies also include all of the "Boost" libraries, if you are using Debian stable/etch sources.list you need to also <code>aptitude install libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-test-dev</code>.

'''To compile it:'''<br/>
If you have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by:

<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your home directory in the folder <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page, no need to duplicate that informations in here. :)

=== Ubuntu ===

==== Jaunty ====

9.04's universe repository includes version 1.6a

You can install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.

====Intrepid====

8.10's universe repository includes version 1.4.5.

You can install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.

Updated versions can be found in [http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=The+Battle+for+Wesnoth GetDeb.net].

For '''unstable and stable builds''', visit [http://itwesnoth.valdan.net IT-WESNOTH] and our repository on tuxfamily: [http://download.tuxfamily.org/itwesnoth/debian/].

====Hardy====

* 8.04's (hardy) universe repository includes version 1.4.
* 8.04's (hardy-backports) universe repository includes version 1.4.4.

See the [http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#How_to_add_extra_repositories Ubuntu Starter Guide]'s section on adding the universe repositories.
Install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.

Updated versions can be found in [http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=The+Battle+for+Wesnoth GetDeb.net].

====Dapper====

6.06's universe repository includes version 1.0.2.

This is the (really old) stable release of the 1.0.x series. As this is not the latest version, Dapper users will need to do one of the following to obtain the latest version:
*Upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu, or
*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.

====Compiling====
If you choose to build the 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 -xvzf wesnoth-1.x.x.tar.gz
cd wesnoth-1.x.x
./configure --datadir=/usr/share/games ...
make
sudo make install

==== International language support ====

If you want to use Wesnoth with a language that is not supported by your system, you have at least two options:

From Wesnoth version 1.6 onwards you can start Wesnoth with the flag <code>--dummy-locales</code> to enable all languages, even if they are not supported by your system.

For older versions of Wesnoth you’ll have to enable the language on your own system first. Look in the file <code>/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED</code> for a line with an ISO language code matching what you want. Append that line to <code>/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local</code>, then run <code>sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales</code>. You should now be able to select that language from the language selector in Wesnoth.

=== Fedora ===
Battle for Wesnoth is included in [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora]. The current version of Battle for Wesnoth is available for ppc, i386, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:limb_AT_jcomserv.net Jon Ciesla].

and then try to emerge. It may or may not work, depending on exactly how extensive the changes in the Wesnoth
source are--going from 1.3.2 to 1.3.8 this way worked for me.
There's an ebuild for 1.5.8 on Gentoo Bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256513

For building from svn tree download the portage overlay from:
http://www.dorf.wh.uni-dortmund.de/priv/markus/wesnoth-svn.tbz
extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type
<code>emerge wesnoth-svn</code>

wesnoth-dev are the official development releases
while wesnoth-svn will build straight from SVN-source tree to keep you up to date with the lastest changes and all the errors ;-)
updating wesnoth-svn will not work ! you have to reemerge it each time you want to update !

=== klik ===
The most easy way to testdrive BfW is provided via [http://klik.atekon.de/ klik]. klik enables clients to create distribution-independent binaries which require no "installation" (the base system remains untouched); its created "AppDir" bundles run even from USB stick or CD RW. klik support is pre-enabled on Knoppix and Kanotix Live CDs. Other distros need to install a small klik client (less than 20 kByte download, less than 20 seconds effort). See the [http://klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php/User%27s_FAQ klik FAQ] for details. A [http://wesnoth.klik.atekon.de/ BfW-specific klik website] has links to help with the package. Once the klik client is installed, look at this:

WesnothBinariesLinux

2009-05-12T05:54:41Z

BiafraRepublic: /* SuSE / OpenSUSE */

= GNU/Linux =
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 ===
* For the official pkg from [extra]: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* dibblethewrecker also provides regular SVN snapshots. Please see [ http://dtw.jiwe.org/content.php?article.9 here] for details of how to access the repo. As development of wesnoth continues this repo is likely to follow the unstable branch.

=== Ark Linux ===
* Ark Linux includes an official wesnoth package, currently at version 1.3.19 Simply use the package installation tool to install the wesnoth package, or run <code>apt-get update; apt-get install wesnoth</code> (or <code>apt-get -t dockyard-devel install wesnoth</code> if you wish to run the current development version of wesnoth with all other packages from the stable tree)
* Users of other similar distributions can download the packages at [http://arklinux.osuosl.org/dockyard-devel the Ark Linux file server]. They are likely to run on any rpm based distribution that uses a recent version of gcc (>= 4.0) and glibc (>= 2.4).

=== Debian ===
* <code>aptitude install wesnoth</code><br/>(use <code>wesnoth-all</code> if you want to pull in all the campaigns and the editor, too)
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth Official packages] including the development releases in the experimental branch
* [http://backports.org/ backports.org] offers the stable wesnoth releases for Debian stable, see http://wiki.debian.org/Backports for more informations.
* For '''unstable and stable builds''', visit [http://itwesnoth.valdan.net ITWESNOTH] and ours repository on tuxfamily: [http://download.tuxfamily.org/itwesnoth/debian/].

====International langugage 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.
quick guide for lenny: uncomment locales you want in /etc/locale.gen, then as root run "locale-gen".

====Compiling====

If you want to play with the SVN version directly you may have to compile it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth].

'''To install the dependencies:'''

You can use a neat trick: Use the Build-Dependencies of the Debian package.

Just do an <code>aptitude build-dep wesnoth</code>. That will pull in most you need. As of 1.4 stable wesnoth, the dependencies also include all of the "Boost" libraries, if you are using Debian stable/etch sources.list you need to also <code>aptitude install libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-test-dev</code>.

'''To compile it:'''<br/>
If you have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by:

<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your home directory in the folder <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page, no need to duplicate that informations in here. :)

=== Ubuntu ===

==== Jaunty ====

9.04's universe repository includes version 1.6a

You can install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.

====Intrepid====

8.10's universe repository includes version 1.4.5.

You can install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.

Updated versions can be found in [http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=The+Battle+for+Wesnoth GetDeb.net].

For '''unstable and stable builds''', visit [http://itwesnoth.valdan.net IT-WESNOTH] and our repository on tuxfamily: [http://download.tuxfamily.org/itwesnoth/debian/].

====Hardy====

* 8.04's (hardy) universe repository includes version 1.4.
* 8.04's (hardy-backports) universe repository includes version 1.4.4.

See the [http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#How_to_add_extra_repositories Ubuntu Starter Guide]'s section on adding the universe repositories.
Install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.

Updated versions can be found in [http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=The+Battle+for+Wesnoth GetDeb.net].

====Dapper====

6.06's universe repository includes version 1.0.2.

This is the (really old) stable release of the 1.0.x series. As this is not the latest version, Dapper users will need to do one of the following to obtain the latest version:
*Upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu, or
*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.

====Compiling====
If you choose to build the 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 -xvzf wesnoth-1.x.x.tar.gz
cd wesnoth-1.x.x
./configure --datadir=/usr/share/games ...
make
sudo make install

==== International language support ====

If you want to use Wesnoth with a language that is not supported by your system, you have at least two options:

From Wesnoth version 1.6 onwards you can start Wesnoth with the flag <code>--dummy-locales</code> to enable all languages, even if they are not supported by your system.

For older versions of Wesnoth you’ll have to enable the language on your own system first. Look in the file <code>/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED</code> for a line with an ISO language code matching what you want. Append that line to <code>/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local</code>, then run <code>sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales</code>. You should now be able to select that language from the language selector in Wesnoth.

=== Fedora ===
Battle for Wesnoth is included in [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora]. The current version of Battle for Wesnoth is available for ppc, i386, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:limb_AT_jcomserv.net Jon Ciesla].

To install simply run:
* <code>yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server</code>

=== Gentoo ===
For the stable release just type:
* <code>emerge wesnoth</code>

For the development release you will have to fetch an overlay, eg from this site:
http://www.dorf.wh.uni-dortmund.de/priv/markus/wesnoth-dev.tbz
extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type
<code>emerge wesnoth-dev</code>
The ebuild will be updated whenever the person creating the ebuild finds the time to do so.

Or if you're too impatient to wait and willing to take the risk of things blowing up, download
and extract the overlay, make a copy of the highest available ebuild version, but change the version number to
that of Wesnoth version you want (for instance, wesnoth-dev-1.3.2.ebuild might become
wesnoth-dev-1.3.8.ebuild ), run
<code>ebuild [new ebuild file] digest</code>
and then try to emerge. It may or may not work, depending on exactly how extensive the changes in the Wesnoth
source are--going from 1.3.2 to 1.3.8 this way worked for me.
There's an ebuild for 1.5.8 on Gentoo Bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256513

For building from svn tree download the portage overlay from:
http://www.dorf.wh.uni-dortmund.de/priv/markus/wesnoth-svn.tbz
extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type
<code>emerge wesnoth-svn</code>

wesnoth-dev are the official development releases
while wesnoth-svn will build straight from SVN-source tree to keep you up to date with the lastest changes and all the errors ;-)
updating wesnoth-svn will not work ! you have to reemerge it each time you want to update !
