Most of the information contained in the above links is pretty important and will help you start the game easier.
• Also, please make sure you have the latest video drivers installed.
Download the .dmg file, open it, and place both Eternal Lands and Eternal Lands Launcher into your Applications folder. New players should launch the game via the Eternal Lands app. If you have any questions, please refer to the
Eternal Lands for macOS FAQ. • Download macOS Full Version
For Ubuntu, try this link. If for some reason that doesn't work, try the generic instructions.
To play on Linux (generic distro):
• Download the Linux version
Once downloaded, open a terminal, move to the directory where you download the file, then run the installer using this command: sh EternalLands-Linux-Installer_1.9.7.sh
The installer places all the files in the chosen directory so it can be easily removed later. The exception is the application launcher file that is placed here:
$HOME/.local/share/applications/eternallands_static.desktop
It also creates the local configuration files if needed in the usual place $HOME/.elc
Once installed you can run the client using the provided launcher icon from your desktop menus or your desktop shell. Its called "eternallands_static". You may need log out and back in again to see the icon. Otherwise, you can run from a terminal using the launcher script, either from the install directory or using the full path to the install directory from anywhere else. The command is:
./eternallands.sh
Be sure to manage your #DATA_DIR path correctly, the launcher will indicate if its not correct. But also check it is correct once the client has started by looking at the console text. Fix/check it is correct when you run the old client again too.
To play under FreeBSD, download the Linux version, download the code from the GIT, and use the freebsd make file.
