Neko is a lightweight game engine that can be used to create small games or interactive animations. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Neko on a Manjaro Linux system.
Before installing Neko, it is recommended to update your system to ensure that you have the latest packages installed. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all the packages on your system.
To install Neko, we need to first install some dependencies. Open a terminal and run the following commands to install the required packages:
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S git cmake gcc pkgconf sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_mixer sdl2_ttf lua
We need to clone the Neko repository to our local system. Open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/NekoGameDev/Neko.git
This will download the Neko repository to the current directory.
Now that we have cloned the Neko repository, we need to build it. Navigate to the Neko directory in the terminal and run the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
This will build and install Neko on your system.
To verify that Neko has been installed correctly, open a terminal and run the following command:
neko
If Neko has been installed correctly, you should see a window with the Neko logo.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Neko on a Manjaro Linux system. With Neko installed, you can start creating your own small games or interactive animations.
