[http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/ Nexuiz] is a first person online shooter fully licensed under the GPL.
The simplest method of installation is to install from the Ubuntu repositories. However the recommended method is the alternative installation method, in order to have the most recent version with the latest bugfixes.
Installation from Ubuntu repositories
In Ubuntu 6.06, enable the Dapper-Backports repository. (see UbuntuBackports)
In Ubuntu 6.10, enable the Universe repository. (see ["Repositories"])
Update your sources.list:
sudo aptitude update
Install Nexuiz with the following command:
sudo aptitude install nexuiz nexuiz-music
Note: The nexuiz-music package is optional.
To run, click Applications>Games>Nexuiz or start from the command-line with:
nexuiz
Alternative install of updated version
In Ubuntu 6.10, the sound library must first be installed:
sudo aptitude install libvorbisfile3
Now download the Nexuiz zip file for the latest version from [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/nexuiz/nexuiz-223.zip?modtime=1169557912 Sourceforge.net]. Unzip the folder where you wish to install it.
To start the game, run either "nexuiz-linux-sdl.sh" or "nexuiz-linux-glx.sh" (each use a different method of accessing your hardware).
Installing by this method gives you a more up-to-date version than the one supplied in the Ubuntu package (currently version 2.2.3 compared with version 2.0).
Notes
Nexuiz is a graphically demanding game and requires Hardware Acceleration. (see ["Video"])
Nexuiz is supported by [http://www.linuxgames.com/xqf/index.shtml XQF], the Unix/X11 server browser. XQF is available in the Universe repository.
All versions from 2.0 and higher are compatible.
