<p>Cjdaniel: /* Installing using a package manager */ Added Gentoo section and bit about svn ebuild.</p> <hr /> <div>This is how to install. To compile, see [[:Category:Compiling|Compiling]].<br /> <br /> == Installing from tarball ==<br /> You extract it and run the install script as root.<br /> <br /> == Installing using a package manager ==<br /> This depends on your distribution. But for example:<br /> $ sudo rpm -ivh bzflag.x86.208.rpm<br /> <br /> === Fedora / Red Hat / Mandriva / SUSE ===<br /> $ sudo yum install bzflag<br /> <br /> === Gentoo ===<br /> <br /> # emerge bzflag<br /> <br /> Alternatively, if you want to grab the 2.0 subversion branch (you probably shouldn't worry about this unless you need a bug fix that you know is not in the latest release), there is an ebuild available to do this at http://succexy.com/~chris/overlay/games-action/bzflag/bzflag-9999.ebuild. See the [http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds Gentoo Wiki] for more information on using third-party ebuilds.<br /> <br /> === Ubuntu / Debian ===<br /> $ sudo apt-get install bzflag<br /> <br /> [[Category:Installing]]</div>
