padmahas Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 right now, and I'm going to upgrade to 14.10 this october before that I need to do fresh install this OS. So I cannot download this game again since it is very large in size. Hence where to download offline installer for Ubuntu so that I can install and reinstall whenever I can.Thank you.

auron2401 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) I imagine you can download the source code, put it on an external, then drop it where you want to leave it(suggest /.local/share/0ad)HereThen Compile it.I imagine that's the complicated way.There is no "offline installer" (that i know of)Unless there's a .deb (or similar) file out there somewhere?

agentx Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I could install from debs found here: https://launchpad.net/~wfg/+archive/0ad You need 0ad + 0ad-data + 0ad-data-common. Expect to solve a few dependencies manually, gdebi will tell you which. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight32 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I just installed Mint 17 on my new computer (going to dual-boot, but the Win 7 disc hasn't arrived yet). It can install from Ubuntu repos - so it should install those debs too, shouldn't it?Got alpha 15 installed already, and it runs great. Would be nice to update it, and I don't really want to get into compiling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect to solve a few dependencies manually, gdebi will tell you which.Are you telling I want all three 0ad, 0ad-data and 0ad-data-common to install this game ? And I see the size of this game as 350+ MB in ubuntu software center but here the built .deb packages ( https://launchpad.net/~wfg/+archive/0ad.dev/+build/6013642 ) are just 50 MB like that.... Is it enough if I download only those deb's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki1950 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 That is because that is only the 0ad package ie:the part that you don't want to compile Enjoy the Choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go to terminal follow instructions provieded in this link after complete install browse to /var/cache/apt/archives folder. If u use GUI it is better to sort files according to date modified and there they are. All new packeges with the extension .deb's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight32 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'll tell you exactly how I did it in Mint 17 MATE:First, I added the PPA as a software source via the GUI. Then I tried sudo apt-get commands, not getting anything. So I downloaded the downloadable file from the PPA. Everything went automatically then, the rest of it downloaded and it was installed.Pretty easy considering I didn't really know what I was doing.
