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).

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.

== Arch Linux ==
 +
* The latest stable version can be installed from the [community] repository: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>

+
== 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 have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by:
 
  
−
<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>
+
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.
  
−
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. :)
+
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:
  
−
== Ubuntu ==
+
# Stable version
 +
aptitude build-dep wesnoth
 +
# Development version
 +
aptitude build-dep wesnoth-1.14
  
−
=== Lucid ===
+
'''Note:''' If you have already installed an older version of Wesnoth, you should uninstall it first by running:
  
−
10.04's universe repository includes version 1.6.5 (in the wesnoth package) '''and''' version 1.8 in the wesnoth-1.8 package. '''Please notice that the package name for 1.8 is wesnoth-1.8!'''
+
# Stable version
 +
aptitude purge wesnoth
 +
# Development version
 +
aptitude purge wesnoth-1.14
  
−
You can install via Applications->Ubuntu Software Center, via System->Administration->Synaptic, or aptitude/apt-get.
+
Bear in mind that this will '''not''' remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]].
  
−
=== Karmic ===
+
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:

===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 -xvjf wesnoth-1.x.x.tar.bz2
 
−
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.

Other languages:


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.
