 If you attempt to build on Slackware-current, install the dependencies listed above with `sbopkg`, but skip ''libsodium'' and ''sdl2''; they are already distributed with Slackware-current.
+
+
+==== CentOS ====
+
+Discussion of installing on //CentOS 7// can be found on the forums [https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/24985-installation-on-centos-7 here].
+
+**Note:** The advice below is derived from installing in a Virtual Machine with //CentOS 7// 64-bit minimally installed. If you have //CentOS 6// (or earlier), the following steps may not be possible. Installation on a physical machine, a machine with more stuff already installed upon it, or a machine that is 32-bit, may differ slightly.
+
+1. Firstly, you will need to enable the "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux" (or "EPEL") repository (if you haven't already). You can do this by running (as root/via sudo)
+   {{{ #!sh
+   yum install epel-release
+   }}}
+
+2. Install some auxiliary packages. These are not dependencies of 0AD itself, but are necessary to run update_workspaces.sh successfully. They might already be installed on your system:
+   {{{ #!sh
+   yum install bzip2 patch
+   }}}
+
+3. Install the 0AD dependencies that are available directly from repos:
+   {{{ #!sh
+   yum install cmake gcc-c++ enet-devel libglvnd-devel gloox-devel libicu-devel nspr-devel \
+        libogg-devel libpng-devel libsodium-devel libvorbis-devel libXcursor-devel libxml2-devel \
+        miniupnpc-devel openal-soft-devel subversion wxGTK3-devel zlib-devel SDL2-devel
+   }}}
+
+4. Acquire a sufficiently recent version of //libcurl//:
+   * From this site: https://mirror.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/libraries/, download the two files that satisfy one of the following patterns:
+     - `libssh2-{version}.cf.rhel7.{arch}.rpm`
+     - `libssh2-devel-{version}.cf.rhel7.{arch}.rpm`
+   * From this site: https://mirror.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/, download the three files that satisfy one of the following patterns:
+     - `curl-{version}.cf.rhel7.{arch}.rpm`
+     - `libcurl-{version}.cf.rhel7.{arch}.rpm`
+     - `libcurl-devel-{version}.cf.rhel7.{arch}.rpm`
+   * Install some dependencies from repos:
+     {{{ #!sh
+     yum install nss-devel libnghttp2 libpsl libmetalink
+     }}}
+   * Install dependencies from downloaded packages.
+     [[BR]][[BR]]
+     **Note:** This will replace the version of //libssh2// that is provided by the //CentOS// official repos. This is necessary as the version of //libcurl// we're installing needs a more up-to-date version than what the official repos can provide. As the packages we've acquired are compiled as to be interoperable with //CentOS// systems, this shouldn't cause any problems with other programs installed on your system.
+     [[BR]][[BR]]
+     Install the `libssh2-*` and `libssh2-devel-*` packages using `rpm -Uvh`. For example:
+     {{{ #!sh
+     rpm -Uvh libssh2-1.8.0-8.0.cf.rhel7.x86_64.rpm libssh2-devel-1.8.0-8.0.cf.rhel7.x86_64.rpm
+     }}}
+   * Install the updated //curl// packages (`curl-*`, `libcurl-*` and `libcurl-devel-*`) using `rpm -Uvh`. For example:
+     {{{ #!sh
+     rpm -Uvh curl-7.61.1-3.0.cf.rhel7.x86_64.rpm libcurl-7.61.1-3.0.cf.rhel7.x86_64.rpm libcurl-devel-7.61.1-3.0.cf.rhel7.x86_64.rpm
+     }}}
+
+5. Acquire a sufficiently recent version of //boost//:
+   * From https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_68_0.html, download `boost_1_68_0.tar.gz`.
+   * Uncompress archive:
+     - $ `tar -xf boost_1_68_0.tar.gz`
+   * Enter folder:
+     - $ `cd ./boost_1_68_0`
+   * Compile the parts that are needed to be compiled, and install the libraries:
+     - $ `./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=filesystem,system`
+     - # `./b2 install`
+     - (Compiled files end up in `/usr/local/lib/`, header files in `/usr/local/include/boost/`)
+
+6. You should now have all dependencies for 0AD. Continue by [#Gettingthecode getting the code], as described below.
