Linux download not working?

[Essential Strategy]

Hello, I just tried to download the latest alpha version from the official web page for Linux, but it seems there is no link or something and had to install it from the Software Manager of my distro, but it is not the latest alpha, as it says 0.27.0 in version.

As I see it, you are right. I downloaded and installed the branch from git with 

git clone --single-branch --branch release-a27.1 https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad.git

But you can also download from

https://releases.wildfiregames.com/

27.1 is from 14.07. so the distros may need some till it lands in their repos.

Be sure to follow

https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/BuildInstructions

tl;dr

• have all dependencys
• run 0ad/libraries/build-source-libs.sh
• run 0ad/build/workspaces/update-workspaces.sh
• run make -j5 in the folder 0ad/build/workspaces/gcc/

Don't forget to run 0ad/source/tools/spirv/get-nightly-shaders.sh if you want to use Vulkan.

@Stan`And that's only needed if building from git? The required spirv stuff is included in the release data archive, correct?
