| − | == Other distributions ==
| |
| − | For other distributions, VCMI can be installed from 3rd-party repositories listed below.
| |
| − | * Gentoo https://github.com/qdii/qdiilay/tree/master/games-strategy/vcmi
| |
| − | * Archlinux [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vcmi/ vcmi] [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vcmi-git/ vcmi-git]

| |
| − | * [https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/releases Alternative download links on github]
| |
| − | * [https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/blob/develop/README.linux Readme] (available as README.linux in source package)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Be careful about proper installation of VCMI. The game requires some files from its source distribution to be placed in data path, so you must use make install to install the game properly. Otherwise, the game won't be able to find resource files.
| |
| − | If you don't want to pollute your filesystem with game files, use the following way of installing the game:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | # cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=absolute_path_to_binaries ../vcmi
| |
| − | # make && make install
| |
| − | # cd absolute_path_to_binaries
| |
| − | # ./bin/vcmiclient
| |
| − | </pre>

| − | = Installing Heroes III data files =
| |
| − | To install VCMI you will need:
| |
| − | * Heroes III: Shadow of Death or Complete edition
| |
| − | * Unnoficial WoG addon: http://download.vcmi.eu/WoG/wog.zip
| |
| − | * VCMI data files: http://download.vcmi.eu/core.zip
| |
| − | == Automated install ==
| |
| − | To install Heroes 3 data using automated script you need any of:
| |
| − | * One or two CD's or CD images
| |
| − | * gog.com installer
| |
| − | * Directory with installed game
| |
| − | | |
| − | Run the script using options appropriate to your input files:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | vcmibuilder --cd1 /path/to/iso/or/cd --cd2 /path/to/second/cd
| |
| − | vcmibuilder --gog /path/to/gog.com/installer
| |
| − | vcmibuilder --data /path/to/h3/data
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | You should use only one of these commands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Fedora music support ===
| |
| − | To have Music support on Fedora it is required to perform a additional step. Fedora doesn't provide Mp3 playback support natively due to patents applied on the Mp3 technique. The SDL_mixer package from the official Fedora repo is compiled without Mp3 support.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To make music work it must be converted into ogg format. This can be done either manually or using vcmibuilder:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | vcmibuilder --convertMP3
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | This command can be run separately after install or as additional switch during initial vcmibuilder launch
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Manual install ==

| |
| − | library directory: /usr/lib/vcmi
| |
| − | binary directory: /usr/games
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | * Copy your data to data directory. This should result in directory structure similar to this:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | /usr/share/vcmi/config/
| |
| − | /usr/share/vcmi/Data/
| |
