Welcome to the Naev Wiki.

Please take a look at the FAQ before submitting a new bug report, as it covers a number of common gameplay questions and common issues.

Dependency instructions for Debian and Gentoo can be found below.

Instructions for installing can be found on the Installing page, and an exhaustive list of keys can be found on the keybindings page.

If you're interested in helping out, you can reach us on IRC or through the forums. See the Community Portal for contact information.

Debian

On Debian-based distros you can install them with:

apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libgl1-mesa-dri libxml2 libfreetype6 libpng12-0 libopenal1 libvorbis0a

For compiling, you'll need the additional:

apt-get install gcc make libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng12-dev libopenal-dev libvorbis-dev binutils-dev
