This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Librengine on the latest Ubuntu Server. Librengine is a lightweight, open-source gaming engine that runs on Linux and Windows.
Before you begin the installation, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to update your system. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This command will update the repository list on your system.
Next, install the dependencies that Librengine requires to run. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libopenal-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libwebp-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libfreetype6-dev
This command will install all the necessary dependencies.
Next, you need to clone the Librengine repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/liameno/librengine.git
This command will clone the repository to your local system.
Change your directory to Librengine's root directory by running the following command:
cd librengine
Next, build the engine by running the following command:
make clean && make RELEASE=1
This command will build the engine in the release mode.
After building the engine, run the following command to install it:
sudo make install
This command will install the engine to your system.
Finally, to test the engine, run the following command:

This command will run the engine and display the test results.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Librengine on your Ubuntu Server. Now you are ready to create your game with Librengine.
