| − | VCMI requires data from original Heroes 3: Shadow of Death or Complete editions. Data from native Linux version made by LOKI will not work.
| + | {{Template:MovedToWebpage|https://vcmi.eu/players/Installation_Linux/}} |
| − | All links are for VCMI 0.88
| |
| − | = Binaries installation =
| |
| − | == Debian-based distibutives ==
| |
| − | 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

| |
| − | * [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]

| − | === 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 for current version [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22372764/vcmi/packages/vcmi_0.88.tar.gz here]

| − | = Preparing data =
| |
| − | Install original game and WoG addon. This can be done via Wine or from Windows.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Extract [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22372764/vcmi/packages/vcmi-data_0.88.tar.gz VCMI data package] into installation directory.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Launch vcmiclient to determine data directory:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | vcmiclient -v
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The above command will display something similar to this:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | Starting...
| |
| − | VCMI 0.88b
| |
| − | data directory: /usr/share/vcmi
| |
| − | library directory: /usr/lib/vcmi
| |
| − | binary directory: /usr/bin/vcmi
| |
| − | ...
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Copy installed game to the "data directory". This should give you directory structure similar to this:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | /usr/share/vcmi/config/
| |
| − | /usr/share/vcmi/Data/
| |
| − | /usr/share/vcmi/Maps/
| |
| − | /usr/share/vcmi/Mp3/
| |
| − | /usr/share/vcmi/picsall/
| |
| − | /usr/share/vcmi/Sprites/
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Note: Depending on whether you are installing one of the binary packages or compiling from source and how you configured the data directory prefix (--datadir) of your source package it may be e.g. /usr/local/share/vcmi or /opt/games/vcmi or something else. In any case it must end in "vcmi" and contain the sub-directories listed above.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: In some Heroes 3 editions these directories may have different case (MP3 vs Mp3). In this case you'll have to rename them to match required directory structure.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | If you also have original Linux version of Heroes 3 by LOKI, you can also install the videos:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | cp -a /PATH_TO_CDROM/data/video /usr/share/vcmi/Data
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | = Launching game =
| |
| − | To start the game:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | vcmiclient
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | = Reporting 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]
| |
| − | In report please post:
| |
| − | * used distributive, version and architecture (e.g. x86 or x64)
| |
| − | * console log as well as log files from ~/.vcmi
| |
| − | * steps to reproduce bug
