Gentoo icon.png Gentoo Linux

The games-rpg/arx-libertatis package is no longer available in the main portage tree because Gentoo developers prefer deleting packages over accepting patches.

# eselect repository enable arx-libertatis
# emerge games-rpg/arx-libertatis

Development snapshots are available via the arx-libertatis-9999 live ebuild in the arx-libertatis overlay.

There are also ebuilds for the game data (games-rpg/arx-fatalis-data) and demo (games-rpg/arx-fatalis-demo) but you will still need to obtain the data yourself from Steam or GOG.com or as a CD. 

# emerge games-rpg/arx-fatalis-data

Installing and verifying the data can also be done using the install scripts, like on any other distro.
