| − | * 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 ===
| + | 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 flatpak below. |
| − | * 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).

| + | A flatpak of the current stable release can be found [https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.wesnoth.Wesnoth here]. |
| − | Debian does not come with all locales. If you can't choose your language, you need to add locale for your lang.
| |

| |
| − | quick guide for lenny: uncomment locales you want in /etc/locale.gen, then as root run "locale-gen".
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Compiling==== | + | A nightly flatpak of Wesnoth's development branch is also available. Instructions for getting it can be found [https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47872 here]. |
| | | | |
| − | 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].
| + | == 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]. |

| − | '''To install the dependencies:'''
| + | == 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]. |
| | | | |
| − | You can use a neat trick: Use the Build-Dependencies of the Debian package.
| + | ===Command-line install=== |
| | + | To install Wesnoth, run the following to pull in everything: |
| | + | aptitude install wesnoth wesnoth-music |
| | | | |
| − | 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>.
| + | ===Compiling=== |
| | | | |
| − | '''To compile it:'''<br/>
| + | 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 have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by: | |
| | | | |
| − | <code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code> | + | 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: |
| | | | |
| − | 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. :)

| | + | aptitude purge wesnoth |
| | + | # Development version |
| | + | aptitude purge wesnoth-1.14 |
| | | | |
| − | 9.04's universe repository includes version 1.6a
| + | Bear in mind that this will '''not''' remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]]. |
| | | | |
| − | You can install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.
| + | 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. |

| | | | |
| | + | [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 |
| | | | |
| − | ====Intrepid==== | + | ===Available Versions=== |
| | | | |
| − | 8.10's universe repository includes version 1.4.5.
| + | Different releases of Ubuntu provide different versions of Wesnoth in their repositories. Often, this version will be older than the most current Wesnoth. |
| | | | |
| − | You can install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.

| + | == Gentoo == |
| − | Install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.
| + | To install the game only, run the following as root: |
| | + | emerge wesnoth |
| | | | |
| − | Updated versions can be found in [http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=The+Battle+for+Wesnoth GetDeb.net].
| + | To install the game and the server, add 'server' to your USE flags, then run emerge as above. |

| | | | |
| − | 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:
| + | games-strategy/wesnoth ~* |
| − | *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====
| + | The ebuild is currently maintained by [https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Games the Gentoo Games Project] |
| − | 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
| + | == Mageia / Rosa Linux / OpenMandriva Lx == |
| − | 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 ====
| + | To install the latest stable version (as root): |
| | | | |
| − | If you want to use Wesnoth with a language that is not supported by your system, you have at least two options:
| + | urpmi wesnoth |
| | | | |
| − | 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 the development version (Rosa Linux and OpenMandriva Lx only, as root): |
| | | | |
| − | 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.
| + | urpmi wesnoth-unstable |
| | | | |
| − | === Fedora ===
| + | You can also use the GUI package manager RPMDrake (in the Control Centre). |
| − | 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.

| | | | |
| − | 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 !

| − | === 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:

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:
