| 1 | | = How to install the latest version on Linux = |
| 2 | | '''Warning''': The game is currently under heavy development, and many features are currently missing. This release is an '''alpha version''', not a completed playable game - please check our '''[http://play0ad.com/ site]''' and '''[http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showforum=135 forums]''' for future updates! |
| 3 | | |
| 4 | | '''Warning''': there are known graphics problems when running 0 A.D. with old graphics drivers. If you notice a graphic issue, before reporting a ticket in '''[http://trac.wildfiregames.com/report our issue tracker]''', make sure you are using updated drivers. With open source driver (all Intel and Radeon up to HD 4870 only support open source drivers on recent distributions) this means using a recent release of '''[http://www.mesa3d.org/ Mesa]''' and, eventually, the '''[https://www.kernel.org/ Linux kernel]'''. You can do this upgrading your Linux distribution to the latest release or/and using a third party archive with updated drivers (e.g. a PPA, Personal Package Archive, on Ubuntu). You can find more informations for your Linux flavor in the sections below. |

| 6 | | The Linux packages are new and not well-tested, so please report any problems in our [http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showforum=378 Bug reports forum here]. |
