| |
| − | * 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 1.3.19 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).

| − | 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].
| + | 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]. |

| − | '''To install the dependencies :'''
| + | == 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]. |
| | | | |
| − | As of 1.4 stable, the dependencies also include all of the "Boost" libraries, you need the last two only since some late 1.3.x devel releases.
| + | ===Command-line install=== |
| | + | To install Wesnoth, run the following to pull in everything: |
| | + | aptitude install wesnoth wesnoth-music |
| | | | |
| − | '''To compile it :'''
| + | ===Compiling=== |
| − | If you have already installed and 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>.
| + | 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: |
| − | Then, download the source by wget, or your preferred web browser. Save it in the /usr/src directory.
| |
| − | Now, it's very easy :
| |
| | | | |
| − | cd /usr/src | + | # Stable version |
| − | tar -xvzf wesnoth-1.x.x.tar.gz | + | aptitude build-dep wesnoth |
| − | cd wesnoth-1.x.x | + | # Development version |
| − | ./configure
| + | aptitude build-dep wesnoth-1.14 |
| − | make
| |
| − | sudo make install
| |
| | | | |
| − | If the account you use to get wesnoth does not have root privileges (or is in the src group), it will be easier to save it in the /home/username directory. This causes no problems, but may not make wesnoth available for all users, you would also need to set specific configure options to play it directly from there but can skip the last line. Also, if you download it to be opened by the Ark archive manager and do not have root privileges, it is necessary to save it to the default directory under ~username. After that, use the root terminal and type: | + | '''Note:''' If you have already installed an older version of Wesnoth, you should uninstall it first by running: |
| | | | |
| − | cd ~username | + | # Stable version |
| − | cd wesnoth-1.x.x # repeat this command at least once... during my extact of 1.4, | + | aptitude purge wesnoth |
| − | # it made wesnoth-1.4/wesnoth-1.4/wesnoth-1.4
| + | # Development version |
| − | ./configure
| + | aptitude purge wesnoth-1.14 |
| − | make
| |
| − | sudo make install
| |
| | | | |
| − | One more comment: using 1.4 on Etch, I had problems getting the Extended Era add-on(and many others) to function. I keep getting an error that say that the add-ons have errors for about a dozen of my installed add-ons, and those simply are not available. You might want to wait for 1.4.1 even though many improvements in 1.4 are very cool. --kencomer
| + | Bear in mind that this will '''not''' remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]]. |
| | | | |
| − | You may have more information about this part in the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page.
| + | 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 6.10 Edgy Eft includes binaries for Wesnoth 1.1.8 in its universe repository, so if you're happy with this version, just upgrade to Edgy Eft. But be aware that this version is completely outdated and there is no official mp-server running for it. Better try to update to a more recent version, like one from the 1.2.x stable series.
| + | == 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 ARMv7HL, AArch64, ppc64le, s390x, x86, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:klember@redhat.com Kalev Lember]. |
| | | | |
| − | ====Dapper====
| + | To install from command-line, simply run: |
| − | There is a version 1.2.3 available at the [http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=The+Battle+for+Wesnoth GetDeb.net] for 32bit Dapper.
| + | dnf install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server |
| | | | |
| − | Battle for Wesnoth 1.0.1-1 is included in Ubuntu Dapper's universe collection. This is the (really old) stable release of the 1.0.x series. As this is not the latest version, Breezy users will need to do one of the following to obtain the latest version:
| + | == Gentoo == |
| − | *Upgrade to the Dapper Drake, or
| + | To install the game only, run the following as root: |
| − | *Use the Breezy-Backports repository,
| + | emerge wesnoth |
| − | *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.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Other====
| + | To install the game and the server, add 'server' to your USE flags, then run emerge as above. |
| − | Do not attempt to install the debian package and associated dependencies using ''dpkg'' as you will break your environment! (Though we had no comment of anything in the system being broken after installing Wesnoth from a Debian rep, in fact the Debian binaries are exactly what is used for Ubuntu, too)
| |
| | | | |
| − | After considering the warning above, if you would still like to use more updated Wesnoth packages in Debian Etch on your installation of Ubuntu Edgy (notice that the following instruction itself might be flawed, in addition to introducing Debian packages to your installation):
| + | Note: Gentoo currently operates as a rolling-release, updated approximately weekly. |

| − | * <code>yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server</code>
| |
| | | | |
| − | === Gentoo ===
| + | To install latest Battle for Wesnoth version available you need to enable the following repository using the Control Centre: |
| − | 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:
| + | {|align="left" border="1" |
| − | http://www.dorf.wh.uni-dortmund.de/priv/markus/wesnoth-dev.tbz
| + | !align="left"|Distribution |
| − | extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type
| + | !align="left"|Repository for wesnoth |
| − | <code>emerge wesnoth-dev</code> | + | !align="left"|Repository for wesnoth-unstable |
| − | The ebuild will be updated whenever the person creating the ebuild finds the time to do so.

| − | 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:

| | | | |
| − | These are builds of The Battle For Wesnoth for several SUSE Linux distributions, made for both i386 and x86_64 architecture. On SUSE Linux 10.1 and above, as well as on SLED, just use the zen-updater and add these directories to your available services (as ZYPP). On 10.0 and older, you can use YaST to add the installation sources. Furthermore, these packages are splitted into "wesnoth" (the game binary) and the data sets "wesnoth-data-base" and "wesnoth-data-full". If you want to be able to play the game, "wesnoth-data-base" is all you need, but you will be missing the full experience, because wesnoth-data-full includes larger images and music. Downloading "wesnoth-data-base" only is meant for slow-bandwidth downloaders. However if you select "wesnoth" in zen-updater or yast, it will automatically select "wesnoth-data-base" and "wesnoth-data-full" to deliver the full experience. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact [http://en.opensuse.org/User:Hhetter123 Holger Hetterich]. | + | These are builds of The Battle For Wesnoth for several versions of openSUSE, made for both i386 and x86_64 architectures. |

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
