GNU/Linux

Not all Distributions are always at the state of the current release. If you want to be sure to have the current version, please get the sources and compile it yourself.

Arch Linux

  • For the official pkg from [extra]: pacman -S wesnoth
  • 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.

Debian

===> about this backport, maybe an issue with an unresolvable dependancy, the "ttf-dejavu" package which is required but does not belong to sarge main archive. If someone could confirm ? [ 4 october 2005 ]

====> 8 October: adding 

deb http://ftp.tr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb-src http://ftp.tr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main

to /etc/apt/sources.list, 

Package: wesnoth
Pin: version 1.0-1sarge*
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: wesnoth-data
Pin: version 1.0-1sarge*
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600

to /etc/apt/preferences and then installing ttf-dejavu with 

apt-get install -t unstable ttf-dejavu

worked for me ;-)

Ubuntu

Battle for Wesnoth 1.0.1-1 is included in Ubuntu Dapper's universe collection. This is the current latest version.

Battle for Wesnoth 1.0-1 is included in Ubuntu Breezy's universe collection. As this is not the latest version, Breezy users will need to do one of the following to obtain the latest version:

  • Upgrade to the Dapper Drake, or
  • Use the Breezy-Backports repository, or
  • Use an unofficial repository, or
  • Use the generic binary for GNU/Linux found on the Download page.

Of these options, the final one is most likely the safest at this time.

See the Ubuntu Starter Guide's section on adding the universe repositories.

Fedora Core

Battle for Wesnoth is included in Fedora Extras, which is enabled in Fedora Core 4 by default.

Gentoo

  • emerge wesnoth

klik

  • The most easy way to testdrive BfW is provided via 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 klik FAQ for details. A BfW-specific klik website has links to help with the package. Once the klik client is installed, look at this:
    • Wesnoth-1.0 stable Version: to "klik" it, type klik://wesnoth into your Browser
    • Wesnoth-1.1.1 Development-Version: to "klik" it, type klik://wesnoth-latest into your Browser
