This is how to install. To compile, see Compiling.

Installing from tarball

You extract it and run the install script as root.

Installing using a package manager

This depends on your distribution. But for example:

$ sudo rpm -ivh bzflag.x86.208.rpm

Fedora / Red Hat / Mandriva / SUSE

$ sudo yum install bzflag

Gentoo

# emerge bzflag

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 Gentoo Wiki for more information on using third-party ebuilds.

Ubuntu / Debian

$ sudo apt-get install bzflag
