I provide different versions for Ubuntu and Debian. If you use Debian you need to replace "quantal" with "wheezy" in all occurrences below (especially in the "deb" lines for sources.list).
You can either download a recent build from https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeor ... st/Ubuntu/ or https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeor ... st/Debian/ . Alternatively you can visit my repository http://www.nagilum.org/repo/pool/quantal/f/freeorion/ and download it from there.
If you install via "dpkg -i freeorion_0.4.3+svn6591-1_amd64.deb freeorion-data_0.4.3+svn6591-1_all.deb" for the first time you may have to install additional dependencies using "apt-get -f install".
If you want automatic updates (be aware that these frequently break savegame compatibility) you can also add the repository:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://www.nagilum.org/repo/ quantal quantal'
wget http://nagilum.org/repo/[email protected]
sudo apt-key add [email protected]
After that for installing:
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install freeorion
Test builds can be found on sourceforge
