coworotel Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi, I was trying to install the dev version according to the info in the website (add ppa 0ad.dev) but the packages there seem to be the same as the current release of the game. Can anyone help me? What is the easiest way to install the dev version on Ubuntu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 using either svn, or the git mirror on htpps://github.com/0ad/0ad, Not that you have to compile the game yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coworotel Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 @stanislas69 Thanks! If I compile it, will it affect my default installation of the game, or can I ran it from the folder where it is compiled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't but depending on what you touch it might have an influence. For instance, both will share the same user.cfg unless you run the dev version with -writableRoot (Notice it only has one '-') this flag makes the game portable. https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/system/readme.txt line 68 41 minutes ago, coworotel said: Can I ran it from the folder where it is compiled ? Sure just go in wherever you cloned it and run ./pyrogenesis -writableRoot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
