Alien Arena 2007

This installation is a little more challenging than that above but with a little bravado on your part, achievable none the less. Alien Arena 2007 does not exist in the Fiesty or Gutsy Repository so we need to tell the Package manager where to find the necessary files, we do not have any idea just how different it is to AlienArena or even if it is, all we can tell you is how to install on the basis that it might be better.

   

The first thing you need do is edit this file sources.list this is located in the directory /etc/apt editing this file you will need to add in /etc/apt/sources.list this line between the quotes

"deb http://ubuntusoftware.info intrepid all"

add this repository as is usual with Linux is not the only way to achieve the same end result, but it is the most straight forward. The easiest way to edit a file like this is to use vim (or Vi improved) or any other suitable editor, as this is a system access file you will need to use the sudo command with it you can copy and paste the command bellow into a terminal window.

WARNING!! Once you have started this script you are advised not to close the terminal window from which it was called until fully completed, doing so will necessitate the need to restart the script to finalise the installation.

#> sudo vim /etc/apt/sources-list
#> Password:

Next you need to update the repositories and upgrade this could take a while so a coffee break might be in order.

#> sudo apt-get update
#> Password:
#> sudo apt-get upgrade

Lastly you need to install the AlienArena2007 package we suggest if everything installs as expected that you install using the following commands.

#> sudo apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated alienarena2007
