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 1.3.4 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 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.
  
−
====Compiling====

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:

If you want to install the latest Development version you may have to compile it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth].

Bear in mind that this will '''not''' remove downloaded data or saved games stored in your [[EditingWesnoth#The_user_data_directory|home directory]].
  
−
'''To compile it :'''

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.

If you have already installed and older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by :

Different releases of Ubuntu provide different versions of Wesnoth in their repositories. Often, this version will be older than the most current Wesnoth.

Battle for Wesnoth 1.2.3-1 is included in the Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty's) universe collection. It works very well. You can install via System->Administration->Synaptic, via Applications->Add/Remove or aptitude/apt-get.

====Edgy====
+
== Fedora ==
−
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.
+
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].

To install from command-line, simply run:

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.
  
−
* Add a Debian etch mirror to your /etc/apt/sources.list, e.g.
+
To install the latest unstable version (when available), add the following line to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file before running the emerge command:

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.

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.
