Edit Summary: Page created and includes information specific for Debian (for now..)

====== Crossfire on Linux ======
Crossfire should install and run on any Linux variant that supports [[wp>X_Window_System|X]] and has the libraries which Crossfire requires.

===== Debian =====
==== Installation ====
The easiest way to install Crossfire on [[wp>Debian]] is to use the Debian package system and repository.  The version there may lag somewhat behind the latest release, but it will be tested for Debian and automatically install any needed dependencies.  (To stay current with the latest development version, see the [[http://crossfire.real-time.com/svn/index.html|Crossfire SVN page]].)

Crossfire is available in all Debian distributions; oldstable, stable, testing and unstable.

=== Server ===

The server installation command is the following:

  $ apt-get update;apt-get install crossfire-server crossfire-maps

Note: you may need to use the sudo command to install these packages

  $ sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install crossfire-server crossfire-maps

This will install the Crossfire server (crossfire-server) and the current map set (crossfire-maps)

If necessary, you can stop, start or restart the crossfire server via the following commands, respectively:

  $ /etc/init.d/crossfire-server stop

  $ /etc/init.d/crossfire-server start

  $ /etc/init.d/crossfire-server restart

Again, adding sudo to those commands may be necessary.  For example:

  $ sudo /etc/init.d/crossfire-server restart

=== Client ===

Installation of the client has a similar syntax. You'll need to chose which client you want to install, or if you install any (or all of) the three - which one you'll actually use for game play.

  $ apt-get install crossfire-client

  $ apt-get install crossfire-client-gtk

  $ apt-get install crossfire-client-gtk2

To launch the client, hit alt+f2 and then enter any of the following (shown in bold text):

  * For crossfire-client: **cfclient**
  * For crossfire-client-gtk:  **gcfclient**
  * For crossfire-client-gtk2: **gcfclient2**

(Minor Note: gcfclient stands for **G**TK **C**rossfire **client**)

===== (K|X)Ubuntu =====
The easiest way to install Crossfire on [[wp>Ubuntu]] is to use the (K|X)Ubuntu package system and repository.  The version there may lag somewhat behind the latest release, but it will be tested for (K|X)Ubuntu and automatically install any needed dependencies.  (To stay current with the latest development version, see the [[http://crossfire.real-time.com/svn/index.html|Crossfire SVN page]].)

FIXME - More information for (K|X)Ubuntu
