Playing on linux

Post by what »

Hello.

I am new to linux and i use Fedora distribution, specifically CentOS 7.

I was wondering if there was a way to install this game using yum? If so can someone please explain to me how.

I'm not sure if there is a package that you can use yum to download armagetron. However, you can use the command 'wget' followed by a link to the tar file to download a zipped tar containing the installation files and then compile it, which is not difficult.

For example,
# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/armaget ... z/download
At this point you might need to rename the downloaded file
Then you could read the readme or install file to find out how to compile it, which you can start buy running the install script ./install
Then follow the instructions, configure, make, make install, etc.

There's lots of resources on the web to learn these things, but I'm happy to help within my ability.
