Red Eclipse 2 is a fast-paced, free-to-play first-person shooter game that's available for Linux. In this tutorial, I'll guide you on how to install Red Eclipse 2 on Ubuntu Server latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
It's best to update the system before installing anything. To do that, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Red Eclipse 2 requires a few dependencies to be installed on the system before we can compile the game. You can install these dependencies with the following command:
sudo apt install build-essential git libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev zlib1g-dev -y
Next, we need to clone the Red Eclipse 2 repository. To do that, execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/redeclipse/base.git ~/redeclipse
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the ~/redeclipse directory, and build the game using the following commands:
cd ~/redeclipse
make -j $(nproc)
After the compilation is complete, run the game using the following command:
./bin/redeclipse.sh
Red Eclipse 2 will start and show the main menu, indicating that the installation was successful.
That's it! You've successfully installed Red Eclipse 2 on your Ubuntu Server. It's now ready to play. I hope you find this tutorial helpful. If you have any questions or suggestions, please leave them in the comments.
