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