Veloren is a multiplayer voxel RPG game that is still in development. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Veloren on the latest Debian release.
To install Veloren, you will need the following:
Before we can install Veloren, we need to install its dependencies. Open a terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 libsdl2-image-2.0-0 libgmp-dev libssl-dev libopenal-dev libvorbis-dev cmake
This command will install all the required libraries and tools to compile and run Veloren.
Next, we need to download Veloren. We can download the latest stable release from the official website or use the Git repository to get the latest development version.
For this tutorial, we will use the stable release. Open a terminal and type the following command:
wget https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/jobs/artifacts/release/raw/veloren.zip?job=build-stable
This command will download the latest stable release of Veloren to your home directory.
Once the download is complete, we can extract the Veloren archive. Open a terminal and type the following command:
unzip veloren.zip -d veloren
This command will extract the Veloren files to a folder named "veloren".
Next, we need to build Veloren. Open a terminal and navigate to the "veloren" folder by typing the following command:
cd veloren
Once inside the folder, run the following command:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j$(nproc)
This command will create a folder named "build", run CMake to configure the build, and compile Veloren using the available cores on your system.
Once the build is complete, we can run Veloren by typing the following command:
./veloren
This command will launch Veloren, and you can start playing immediately.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Veloren on Debian. Now you can enjoy the exciting features of this voxel RPG game. Have fun!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
