− | + | There are several packages which bundle the game with several utilities and graphics sets, usually configurable with an included launcher. These are listed on the [[Utility:Lazy Newb Pack|Lazy Newb Pack]] page. The availability of these packages lags behind the release, often by weeks or months for major releases. | |
− | + | The ''Dwarf Fortress'' community often creates custom [[Graphics set repository|graphics sets]], [[Tileset repository|tilesets]] and [[Color_scheme#Custom_color_schemes|color schemes]]. They're like graphical mods that make DF look prettier or just different. A lot of people pack the game folder with the tileset installed and everything already set up, so all you have to do is extract and play. Among the most popular of these are [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53180.0 Ironhand's Graphics Set] and [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57557.0 Phoebus' Graphic Set]. Most notable graphics sets are included in the packs mentioned above. | |

Now you need to ensure that the required dependencies are installed. If you try to run the game and get errors about missing SDL_image libraries (etc.) then you need to install them. Use your distribution's package manager for this - details will be extremely distribution-specific. You don't need the development versions of the packages with the headers (although that won't hurt) - you just need the runtime versions, with the actual shared libraries. | Now you need to ensure that the required dependencies are installed.

If you see any errors related to glibc when starting DF (for example, "version `GLIBC_2.34' not found"), your version of Linux is too old and will need to be upgraded (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is insufficient, but 22.04 LTS should work). Alternatively, you can try running the Windows version in Wine. | If you see any errors related to glibc when starting DF (for example, "version `GLIBC_2.34' not found"), your version of Linux is too old and will need to be upgraded (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is insufficient, but 22.04 LTS should work).
