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:

  aptitude build-dep wesnoth
 
  aptitude build-dep wesnoth

# Development version

aptitude build-dep wesnoth-1.14

Note: If you have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by running:
+
# Stable version
 
  aptitude purge wesnoth
 
  aptitude purge wesnoth
 +
# Development version
 +
aptitude purge wesnoth-1.14
  
−
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.
+
Bear in mind that this will '''not''' remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]].
  
−
== SteamOS ==
+
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.
−
Installing Battle for Wesnoth on SteamOS is similar to doing so on Debian, as SteamOS is largely based on Debian "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

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.

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

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

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 the Gentoo Games Project

Mageia / Rosa Linux / OpenMandriva Lx

To install the latest stable version (as root): 

urpmi wesnoth

For the development version (Rosa Linux and OpenMandriva Lx only, as root): 

urpmi wesnoth-unstable

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