The official logo of Arch Linux based operating systems and environments.

The recommended way to install ENIGMA on Linux is by using the source code. Arch Linux users should follow the instructions below and Debian users can follow the Debian Installation instructions.

Build from the AUR: On Arch Linux you can build directly from Git via the AUR at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enigma-dev-git/ (or using yaourt -S enigma-dev-git ). This takes care of dependencies, configuration and uninstalling safely for you. PLEASE NOTE: This package is outdated (Last Updated: 2016-09-23 20:22) and due to this stability cannot be guaranteed.

  • For a much more modern release of ENIGMA, read on down below...

In addition, there is an easier method for those of which whom use Arch Linux based distributions:

Install Dependencies

  • The following dependencies will be installed for ENIGMA and the games it creates:
   sudo pacman -Sy wget git gcc gdb make pkg-config protobuf protobuf-c zlib glew glm libpng glu mesa openal 
                   libogg alure libvorbis vorbis-tools box2d dumb sdl2 libx11 libxrandr libxinerama jre-openjdk 
                   jdk-openjdk pkg-config rapidjson yaml-cpp boost pulseaudio pugixml zenity kdialog
  • These may be needed to be installed on end-users' computers that run your games:
   sudo pacman -Sy zlib glew glm libpng glu mesa openal libogg alure libvorbis vorbis-tools box2d dumb sdl2 
                   libx11 libxrandr libxinerama zenity kdialog
