{{Template:MovedToWebpage|https://vcmi.eu/players/Installation_Linux/}}
Install original game and WoG addon in this directory
 
<pre>
 
/usr/share/vcmi/
 
</pre>
 
This should give you directory structure like this:
 
<pre>
 
/usr/share/vcmi/Data
 
/usr/share/vcmi/Mp3
 
/usr/share/vcmi/Maps
 
...
 
</pre>
 
Install [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22372764/vcmi/packages/vcmi-data_0.88.tar.gz VCMI data package] in the same directory.
 
 
 
 
Download and install package for your distributive. To install package along with all dependencies:
 
<pre>
 
sudo dpkg -i downloaded_package.deb
 
sudo apt-get -f install
 
</pre>
 
Note: First command most probably will result in errors - this is normal behavior, all of them should be fixed by apt-get
 
 
 
To start the game:
 
<pre>
 
vcmiclient
 
</pre>
 
== Packages ==
 
* [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22372764/vcmi/packages/vcmi_0.88_oneiric_i386.deb Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) 32 bit]
 
* [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22372764/vcmi/packages/vcmi_0.88_oneiric_amd64.deb Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) 64 bit]
 
* [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22372764/vcmi/packages/vcmi_0.88_sid_i386.deb Debian testing/sid 32 bit]

== Other Debian-based distibutives ==
 
VCMI requires g++-4.5 and boost-1.46 which are unavailable on Debian stable and Ubuntu 10.10 or lower.
 
If you'll manage to install them you can compile VCMI from source code.
 
 
 
Another (and probably more safe) option is to create chroot enviroment ([https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot how-to]). This will allow to install package from another distributive.
 
 
 
== Other Linux distibutives ==
 
Currently VCMI supports generation of .deb packages only. Patches to add support of any other package formats are welcomed.
 
= Compiling from source =
 
For compiling from source see [https://vcmi.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vcmi/trunk/README.linux README.linux] file.
 
You can get packaged source [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22372764/vcmi/packages/vcmi_0.88.tar.gz here]
 
= Bugs =
 
Report any issues with packages on our [http://bugs.vcmi.eu bugtracker] or post a message on [http://forum.vcmi.eu/index.php VCMI forums]
