= QuickStart =
 
To download, install and start freeciv, [[find out your distribution]] and proceed accordingly:
 
 
 
== SUSE Linux 11.3 ==
 
This is an example that worked on 2010-11-06 with freeciv 2.2.3 on SUSE Linux 11.3
 
* Install some [[dependencies]]
 
yast -i lib[[SDL]]-devel libSDL-image-devel sdl-mixer-devel sdl-mixer-devel [[gcc-c++]] [[make]]
 
* Download the source from http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
 
bunzip2 freeciv-2.2.3.tar.bz2
 
tar xvf freeciv-2.2.3.tar
 
cd freeciv-2.2.3
 
./configure --enable-client=sdl && make -j8 && make install
 
* run it using the command
 
freeciv-gtk '''-P sdl'''
 
If you do leave out '''-P sdl''', you will not be able to hear sound.
 
 
 
== SUSE Linux 11.1 ==
 
This is an example that works with freeciv 2.1.8 on SUSE Linux 11.1, but it should work with every distribution.
 
* Install SDL mixer devel
 
yast -i sdl-mixer-devel
 
* Download the source from http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
 
* compile the code
 
bunzip2 freeciv-2.1.8.tar.bz2
 
tar xvf freeciv-2.1.8.tar
 
cd freeciv-2.1.8
 
./configure && make -j4 && make install
 
 
 
= TroubleShooting =
 
== No sound in freeciv ==
 
Whenever you move a unit in a freeciv game, you should hear a sound. If you cannot, [[Sound TroubleShooting|check the usual cable and driver stuff]]. If it still does not work your freeciv may have been compiled in a wrong way. So, enter
 
freeciv-gtk2 --help
