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 |
| 18.04 LTS (Bionic) | 1.12.6 |
