How to Install Librengine on Manjaro

Librengine is an open-source 2D physics engine for game development. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Librengine on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Manjaro Linux machine
• Git installed
• Basic knowledge of the command line

Steps

1. Open the terminal on your Manjaro Linux machine by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

2. Install the required dependencies for Librengine using the following command:

   sudo pacman -S meson ninja cmake glm glfw-x11
   

3. Clone the Librengine repository from GitHub using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/liameno/librengine.git
   

4. Navigate to the cloned directory using the cd command:

   cd librengine
   

5. Create a build directory and navigate into it:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   

6. Configure the project using Meson:

   meson ..
   

   This will create a build configuration file.

7. Build the project using Ninja:

   ninja
   

   This will compile the source code and build the project.

8. Install the compiled binaries using the following command:

   sudo ninja install
   

9. Verify that Librengine has been installed correctly by running one of its example programs. Navigate back to the Librengine directory using:

   cd ..
   

   Then navigate to the examples directory using:

   cd examples
   

   Choose one of the example programs and run it. For example, to run the example program cuboid, use the following command:

   ./cuboid
   

   This will run the program and show a window with a rotating 3D object.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Librengine on Manjaro Linux. You can now start creating 2D physics-based games using this powerful open-source physics engine.
