On the ETH Tardis computers, most of the required software is already installed. This makes the installation very simple. If you experience problems, see this page or contact us.

Get the Source Code

First, create a folder for Orxonox. Then get a copy of the code by checking out the trunk via subversion. This will download the latest stable version to the directory trunk. If you have trouble using SVN, go here?.

user@tardis-xxx:~> mkdir orxonox
user@tardis-xxx:~> cd orxonox
user@tardis-xxx:~/orxonox> svn co https://svn.orxonox.net/game/code/trunk trunk

You will then be asked for the username and password, that you got from us.

Furthermore, you will need to check out our data repository. This repository contains all the graphics, fonts and sounds and other third-party data for Orxonox. To check it out use the command:

user@tardis-xxx:~/orxonox> svn co https://svn.orxonox.net/game/data/trunk media

Now make sure, you have set the correct path to your media directory in the file bin/orxonox.ini.

Compiling

Just cd to the trunk directory, then execute configure and make and finally run the game:

user@tardis-xxx:~/orxonox> cd trunk
user@tardis-xxx:~/orxonox/trunk> mkdir build
user@tardis-xxx:~/orxonox/trunk> cd build
user@tardis-xxx:~/orxonox/trunk/build> cmake-2.6 .
...
user@tardis-xxx:~/orxonox/trunk/build> make -j4
...
user@tardis-xxx:~/orxonox/trunk/build> ./run
