[[File:pasture_icon_preview.png|right]]'''Pastures''' are [[activity zone]]s that the player creates to hold tame animals, especially [[grazer|grazing animals]]. Herbivorous animals require [[grass]] (or [[cave moss]], [[floor fungus]] and [[underlichen]] if stationed in underground pasturage) to graze upon, and larger herbivores need a greater amount of these to feed themselves. [[Panda]]s and their relatives require bamboo rather than other types of grass. Using pastures allows herbivorous animals to be restricted to areas where they will have plenty to eat.<br />
<br />
A pasture is defined using the {{menu icon|z}} Zone menu. Once created, you can then select which animals will graze there by clicking the rabbit icon with the yellow plus ([[File:Ui assign creature.png]]). Animals currently assigned to this pasture will have a yellow downwards arrow and a green checkmark left of them. Animals assigned to ''some'' pasture, the previously defined one or otherwise, will just have the yellow downwards arrow. If the brackets contain the 'cage' symbol (‼), it means that animal is currently caged. If that animal is selected for this pasture, they will be automatically uncaged and brought to the pasture by a dwarf (this is actually a good way to get animals you bought from a merchant uncaged quickly, without having to actually build the cage somewhere first). Note that an animal in a stockpiled cage within the defined pen/pasture area (i.e. stockpile overlaps pen/pasture zone) is considered to be within the pasture already and will not be released.<br />
<br />
Once all animals are selected, finish by pressing {{K|Esc}} or right clicking and idle [[Hauling#Animal_hauling|animal hauler]]s will lead the animals to pasture.<br />
<br />
Any animal may be assigned to a pasture, though wild and hostile animals won't reliably stay in one. You can also create pastures inside (on rock) and use them to confine animals that do not need to eat (like [[pig]]s) in certain areas. If there is fungus or moss on your indoor floors (e.g. on soil after breaching the caverns), the animals will consume that in place of grass. <br />
<br />
[[Grass]] on your pastures will replenish at different speeds, depending on [[biome]]; if, on embark, the biome reads "Thick" on "Other Vegetation", it will regrow fast, if it read "Scarce", it may not regenerate at all. Care should be taken to ensure that grass is not consumed more quickly than it can replenish, lest your livestock begin starving - if more than half of the pasture is devoid of grass, it's probably overloaded. Of special note is the fact that [[mountain]] biomes start covered with grass (and numerous [[boulder]]s), but said grass will ''never'' regrow once eaten, so when placing pastures, ensure that there are shrubs and saplings nearby, as their presence ensures that the environment is hospitable to plant (re)growth.<br />
<br />
Baby animals born to pastured mothers will automatically be assigned to their mother's pasture.<br />
<br />
If you need to get animals inside quickly when a [[siege]] or [[ambush]] hits, a quick way to do this is to simply make the pasture inactive (''before'' the animals see the invaders, if possible.) Animals without a pasture tend to gravitate to a meeting area, so most of them will head to your [[dining hall]] or other rest area. An inactive pasture retains its occupant list, so all you have to do is make it active again and your dwarves will return them to their correct areas.<br />
<br />
==Overcrowding==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Overcrowding}}<br />
<br />
When a pasture is overcrowded, animals may become enraged and start fights, similarly to a dwarf throwing a [[tantrum]], which can be prevented by enlarging your pasture or keeping fewer animals in it. Another possibility is to split a large pasture which holds many animals into several smaller pastures, with the pasture size reflecting the amount of grazing the animal needs to survive. Animals will only fight each other if their pasture is sharing the same tiles as the creature they are fighting with.<br />
<br />
==Other Applications==<br />
Pasturing a [[cat]] in a food [[stockpile]] will make it more effective at keeping [[vermin]] away from your food (or any creature with a {{token|HUNTS_VERMIN|c}} or {{token|DIVE_HUNTS_VERMIN|c}} token).<br />
<br />
Lots of 1×1 pastures, each with a chicken and a nest box, is a way to make a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_cage battery farm].<br />
<br />
A pasture can serve as a quick, limited replacement for a [[rope]] or [[restraint]], placing animals exactly in one defined area, even [[pet]]s and animals assigned to dwarves. However, it does not restrict the movement of an animal; if they are threatened by an enemy, the animal will flee as normal, which will trigger a task to re-pasture the animal once it leaves the border of the pasture. Dwarves with the [[Hauling#Animal_hauling|Animal Hauling]] labor enabled may then rush to put them back, probably putting themselves in danger; so maybe only enable that labor on the most durable…or replaceable.<br />
<br />
With that in mind, pastures can serve as an early-warning system and distraction for invaders and thieves when placed just outside or inside entrances to the fortress. Of course, this can result in injury to the animals, or even their death, and tame animals that die in ways other than specifically being slaughtered cannot be [[butcher]]ed.<br />
<br />
More effective ways of using pastures to get rid of unwanted animals include: placing them in chambers to be flooded (preferably with [[magma]]), in the path of [[Dwarven_atom_smasher|certain bridges]], or in battle arenas to face captured foes. Beware that the death of pets will likely cause unhappy [[thought]]s for their owners.<br />

'''Announcements.txt''' determines how and whether announcements appear and can be adjusted in game on that tab in the [[settings]]{{version|50.10}}; those settings are stored in the <code>announcements.txt</code> files, with the defaults in <code>data/init/announcements.txt</code>, and the current settings in <code>prefs/announcements.txt</code>; the location of the <code>prefs</code> [[Game folders and files|folder]] depends on the [[Settings#Portable_mode|portable mode setting]] (there can also be a <code>data</code> folder there, but if you put a <code>data/init/announcements.txt</code> there it will not be read). These adjustments are mainly useful for changing whether an announcement pauses the game or recenters the view.<br />

| There is no difference between having 'Report (Active)/UCR_A' and 'Report/UCR' enabled verse having only 'Report/UCR' enabled. Use Report (Active)/UCR_A for things you want in the combat reports that would be too chatty to always generate a combat report for (Urist Falls down) but don't forget to disable 'Report/UCR' or you won't get the benefit.<br />

{{Quality|Unrated}}<br />

{{file|prefs/interface.txt}}<br />
: ''See [[Controls]] for the default key binds.''<br />
<br />
'''Key bindings''' determine how the game responds to the user (you) pressing different keys on their keyboard, numberpad, laptop, whatever. <br />
<br />
The game key bindings are stored in '''interface.txt'''. They can be configured in the {{DFtext|Key Bindings}} section of the in-game options screen or by editing this file directly. <br />
<br />
Each action can be bound to any number of keys, either by keyboard location or letter. They can also be given a repeat style which specified what happens when any of the bound keys are held:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Repeat Style<br />
! Behavior<br />
|-<br />
| Don't repeat<br />
| The action does not repeat at all; pressing the key performs the action exactly once, no matter how long it is held.<br />
|-<br />
| Delayed repeat<br />
| The action repeats after a delay of [[Technical tricks#Keyboard|<code>KEY_HOLD_MS</code>]] milliseconds.<br />
|-<br />
| Immediate repeat<br />
| The action repeats immediately.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Changing key bindings in-game==<br />
When in-game, press {{k|Esc}} to open the options screen and select {{DFtext|Key Bindings}}. This shows the various game mode/screen categories (and [[Macros]]).<br />
<br />
Selecting one shows all of the bindable game commands in that category. On the left is a list of bindable commands and on the right are options to add bindings and change the action's repeat style. Use the left and right selection keys to move between them.<br />
<br />
Use {{k|Backspace}} on a binding to remove it.<br />
<br />
For example if you wanted to add {{k|9}} to "Select" command (odd, but your choice) you would then select the General category, press right on the first command(Select) and hit {{k|Enter}} on the "Add binding" option to open a key registration prompt and then press {{k|9}} and select whether you want to bind [[#Differences_between_KEY_and_SYM|by position or by key]] and hit {{k|Enter}} or if you hit the wrong button {{k|Esc}} (or whatever you have set to "Main menu" or "Leave screen" keys) to abort.<br />
<br />
Adding bindings does not remove any other binding that also uses this key. This is almost never what you want, so you'd then have to find any command that is also bound to your added key, or you'll be sending both commands every time.<br />
<br />
== Useful custom bindings ==<br />
<br />
===Scrolling without keypad===<br />
<br />
If you're on a laptop or using a restricted keyboard, using {{k|+}} and {{k|*}} to scroll on some menus is inconvenient since it requires the Shift key. To scroll with <code>-=[]</code> instead of <code>-+/*</code>, add:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Category !! Command !! Key<br />
|-<br />
| General || Move secondary selector down || {{k|<nowiki>=</nowiki>}}<br />
|-<br />
| General || Page secondary selector up || {{k|[}}<br />
|-<br />
| General || Page secondary selector down || {{k|]}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Change z-level without shift===<br />
<br />
You can use the comma {{k|,}} and period {{k|.}}, rather than {{k|<}} and {{k|>}} (the same keys + {{k|Shift}}) for up/down [[z-level]]s, thus avoiding the need to use two hands/keys for this common action.<br />
<br />
Add the following:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Category !! Command !! Key<br />
|-<br />
| General || Move view/cursor up (z) || {{k|,}}<br />
|-<br />
| General || Move view/cursor down (z) || {{k|.}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Then remove the following to avoid clashing:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Category !! Command !! Key<br />
|-<br />
| Dwarf mode || Main: One-Step || {{k|.}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== interface.txt ==<br />
The current key bindings are stored in the <code>prefs/interface.txt</code> file, and the defaults in <code>data/init/interface.txt</code>: the location of the <code>prefs</code> [[Game folders and files|folder]] depends on the [[Settings#Portable_mode|portable mode setting]] (there can also be a <code>data</code> folder there, but if you put a <code>data/init/interface.txt</code> there it will not be read).<br />
<br />
=== Default settings ===<br />
{{gamedata}}<br />
<br />
=== Key syntax ===<br />
A key bindings block has this structure:<br />
<pre><br />
[BIND:Action:Repeat_Style]<br />
[SYM:Modifiers:Key]<br />
[KEY:Key]<br />
</pre><br />
It is made of two parts:<br />
*The <code>BIND</code> part, which defines what the key does,<br />
*And the <code>SYM/KEY</code> part, which defines which key the action is mapped to.<br />
<br />
====BIND====<br />
<code>BIND</code> begins a block of key bindings for a specified action in the Key Bindings menu.<br />
<br />
Syntax:<br />
<pre><br />
[BIND:Action:Repeat_Style]<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Each <code>BIND</code> is followed by a block of one or more key bindings (<code>SYM</code> or <code>KEY</code>; see below) terminated either by the next <code>BIND</code> or by the end of file.<br />
<br />
The repeat style is given as one of the following:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! String<br />
! Repeat Style<br />
|-<br />
| <code>REPEAT_NOT</code><br />
| Don't repeat<br />
|-<br />
| <code>REPEAT_SLOW</code><br />
| Delayed repeat<br />
|-<br />
| <code>REPEAT_FAST</code><br />
| Immediate repeat<br />
|}<br />
It is not possible to specify key bindings with different repeat styles for the same action; if more than one <code>BIND</code> exists for the same action, the repeat style of the last <code>BIND</code> is used for all bound keys.<br />
<br />
Vanilla interface.txt already includes <code>BIND</code> entries for all valid actions. It is possible to remove all key bindings for a given action by removing all <code>SYM</code> and <code>KEY</code> entries after the action's <code>BIND</code>, and (optionally) removing the <code>BIND</code> itself. This, however, can result in frequent warnings output to the terminal if the game wants to display a key binding for the action (e.g. {{DFtext|;: Movies}} in the Dwarf Mode side bar; one can mitigate this by closing the side bar with {{k|Tab}}).<br />
<br />
====SYM====<br />
<code>SYM</code> is used for keys listed as {{DFtext|By position}} in the Key Bindings menu.<br />
<br />
Syntax:<br />
<pre>[SYM:Modifiers:Key]</pre><br />
<br />
The modifiers are represented as the sum of their codes listed below:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Modifier<br />
! Value<br />
|-<br />
| Shift<br />
| 1<br />
|-<br />
| Ctrl<br />
| 2<br />
|-<br />
| Alt<br />
| 4<br />
|}<br />
<br />
For example, <code>[SYM:0:A]</code> represents {{k|a}}, <code>[SYM:1:Enter]</code> represents {{k|Shift}}-{{k|Enter}}, and <code>[SYM:6:Left]</code> represents {{k|Ctrl}}-{{k|Alt}}-{{k|&larr;}}.<br />
<br />
The key can be any letter or number, or can be listed by name. This is useful when typing the actual symbol would cause a syntax error (for example, <code>[SYM:0:]]</code> and <code>[SYM:0::]</code> cause errors instead of representing {{k|]}} and {{k|&#58;}}), or when the symbol isn't type-able (it's hard to insert a backspace character in a basic text editor without deleting something).<br />
<br />
====KEY====<br />
<br />
<code>KEY</code> is a simpler version of <code>SYM</code>, only allowing plain keys (no modifiers). These are listed as {{DFtext|By letter}} in the Key Bindings menu.<br />
<br />
Syntax: <pre>[KEY:Key]</pre><br />
<br />
For example, <code>[KEY:a]</code> represents the {{k|a}} key.<br />
<br />
Unlike the above, the key must be given as an actual symbol. Entries such as <code>[KEY:]]</code> and <code>[KEY::]</code> work as one might expect, i.e., representing {{k|]}} and {{k|&#58;}}, respectively.<br />
<br />
====Differences between <code>KEY</code> and <code>SYM</code>====<br />
<br />
<code>KEY</code> '''does''' allow special characters '''if''' they are able to be typed. For example, <code>[KEY:%]</code> is equivalent to <code>[SYM:1:5]</code>. Note that <code>SYM</code> requires the key on the keyboard, while <code>KEY</code> requires the letter generated.<br />
<br />
===Mac-specific===<br />
* Some keys unavailable on the keyboard (such as {{k|PgDown}}) can be generated with the {{k|fn}} key. Dwarf fortress sees these as ''independent keys''; the {{k|fn}} key is essentially invisible to DF. There is no modifier code for {{k|fn}}.<br />
* Characters like {{k|å}} aren't recognized when typed as {{k|alt}}-{{k|a}}.<br />
* The {{k|Command}} key is unrecognized by DF and can't be used as a modifier.<br />

:''Most of these settings are covered in detail at [[Settings]].''<br />
The '''init.txt''' files store the settings of much of the presentation and feel of the game, like [[Technical tricks#Screen_sizes|screen size]], or [[tilesets]]. Most of these can be changed in game, the few that are not there are described in [[Technical_tricks#init.txt|technical tricks]]. The default settings with an explanation of each can be found at <code>data/init/init_default.txt</code> (and below) and current settings at <code>prefs/init.txt</code>, the location of the <code>prefs</code> [[Game folders and files|folder]] depends on the [[Settings#Portable_mode|portable mode setting]] (there is also a <code>data</code> folder there, but if you put a <code>data/init/init_default.txt</code> there it will not be read).

The default settings can be found at ``data/init/colors.txt`` and can be changed by manually placing your own file at ``prefs/colors.txt``{{version|52.02}}; the location of the ``prefs`` [[Game folders and files|folder]] depends on the [[Settings#Portable mode|portable mode setting]] (there is also a ``data`` folder there, but if you put a ``data/init/colors.txt`` there it will not be read). Changes made to these files take effect the next time ''Dwarf Fortress'' is run, and apply to all worlds. Files in both ``data/init/`` and ``prefs/`` are read when ''Dwarf Fortress'' starts, in that order, with the last value read for an option being used.<br />

Latest default location for Linux Steam install is in .local/share/</p>
<hr />
<div>{{av}}<br />
The location of Dwarf Fortress's '''game folders''' depends on the game version, preferences, and operating system. It is also possible for users to change the install drive or directory, like in Steam settings, thus these locations may vary.<br />
<br />
Non-portable, user specific data folders were added in version 52.01, and allow different users to maintain their own settings and saves.<br />

==Game installation folder==<br />
The game's installation folder is where all the game's content is stored. You might want to go to this folder to browse [[raw file]]s, or to check logs. <br />
<br />
* '''Dwarf Fortress Classic''' is [[Installation|distributed]] in a zip archive. Depending on the operating system, the game folder is either <code>df_##_##_win</code> (with the version number, or the name chosen for the folder during extraction), <code>df_osx</code> or <code>df_linux</code> and will be located where you choose to [[installation|extract it]]. This is where the game is run from. For example: <code>C:\Games\Dwarf Fortress\</code><br />
* '''Steam''': The default locations are listed below. You can also find it through Steam by right-clicking "Dwarf Fortress" in your library and choosing Properties, then go to the Local files tab and click Browse local files. If you set a custom library location in Steam, it will end up there instead.<br />
** '''Windows''': <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\</code><br />
** '''Linux''': <code>~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Dwarf Fortress/</code><br />
* '''Itch.io''': is also distributed as an archive file, so where you chose to extract it.<br />
<br />
== Game user data folder ==<br />
The game's user data folder contains the saved games, preferences, and mods for the game. The location of this depends on the settings, defaulting to non-portable{{v|52.01}}. Adding ``portable.txt`` to ``\(gamefolder)\prefs\`` (or setting the corresponding option in-game) makes the game store files in the above installation directory.<br />
<br />
* '''Non-Portable''': <br />
**Windows: <code>C:\Users\(Your username)\AppData\Roaming\Bay 12 Games\Dwarf Fortress\</code> <br />
**Linux: <code>/home/(Your username)/.local/share/Bay 12 Games/Dwarf Fortress/</code>.<br />
* '''Portable''':<br />
**All folders are located within the ''Dwarf Fortress'' game installation folder above.<br />
Note: On Windows, <code>%APPDATA%</code> is an environment variable that points to <code>C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming</code>. You can use winkey+R and type '%appdata%' to quickly jump there.<br />
<br />
=== Saves folder ===<br />
{{main|Saved game folder}}<br />
Saves are stored in the <code>save</code> folder in the above user data folder, each folder in that folder is a save (except <code>current</code> which is used by the game and should be left alone). All the files in each folder are part of the save. The saves list for each world in game has a Files button that opens a menu that allows you to delete the save or open the folder location.{{version|52.03}}<br />
<br />
=== Mods folders ===<br />
:''Further information: [[Modding]]''<br />
There are two folders where mods are stored, both in the above user data folder.<br />
<br />
* Downloaded mods are stored in <code>mods</code><br />
* Mods actually used in saves are stored in <code>data\installed_mods</code><br />
When sharing modded saves, you probably want to include the installed mods folder.<br />
<br />
=== Settings folder ===<br />
{{main|Settings}}<br />
Called settings in game, user preferences are stored in the <code>prefs</code> folder in the above user data folder. Many of the defaults are stored in the <code>data\init</code> folder in the installation folder.<br />

<div>= Using Tilesets and Colors =<br />
<br />
The location of user-contributed tilesets and colors is changing as the developers update the Dwarf Fortress to handle rolling updates.<br />
<br />
In the current version of the game, a "non-portable" user-specific location is used to store preferences and mods. On Linux, it it is located here:<br />
~/.local/share/Bay 12 Games/Dwarf Fortress/<br />
<br />
It has the the following sub-folders:<br />
data<br />
mods<br />
prefs<br />
save <br />
<br />
The basic behavior seems to be that files and settings are read from the default location in the game directory and then any files or settings in this user directory are read with the last value or file read being used.<br />
<br />
In practice this means the easiest way to install user contributed colors and tilesets is to copy them to the following locations:<br />
~/.local/share/Bay 12 Games/Dwarf Fortress/prefs/colors.txt<br />
~/.local/share/Bay 12 Games/Dwarf Fortress/data/art/curses_640x300.png<br />

<div>{{migrated article}}<br />
{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}<br />
{{av}}<br />
{{Mod}}<br />
<br />
A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the text elements in graphics mode and everything in ASCII mode. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
<br />
The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
{{TipBox|#fb0|float=center|'''Currently{{version|50.11}}, using some tilesets can cause the lower and right edges of the screen to not react to the mouse.''' This is dependent on size; the 8×12 and 10×12 that come with the game are fine, but the 16×16 is not. Maximizing the window or [[Settings|setting]] the game to fullscreen may avoid this.}}<br />
Other issues that can appear when using a different tileset:<br />
* In graphics mode, the minimap frame will scale to the tileset, but the minimap image will not.<br />
* In graphics mode, using a tileset with a different aspect ratio will stretch UI elements.<br />
* In graphics mode, some UI elements do not scale to the tileset.<br />
* In either mode, and even with the default tileset at some scales and game display sizes, some menus may not have enough space to display all elements; the [[Noble#Menu|Nobles menu]] especially.<br />
<br />
To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)<br />
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:<br />
## Do '''not''' just change the extension to .bmp or .png; you must use a program like MS paint to save it properly.<br />
## For ''[[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.<br />
## For ''[[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.<br />
# Move or copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|data/art}}), which is in the game installation folder.<br />
## Alternatively, depending on the the [[Settings#Portable_mode|portable mode setting]], files in the ''Local User''{{tt|/data/art}} folder will override the files in the installation folder.<br />
# Edit the {{tt|data/init/init_default.txt}} file to specify the tileset file to use. There are three lines that can be changed:<br />
## '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for a windowed display.<br />
## '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for a full-screen display.<br />
## '''[BASIC_FONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for initial loading and menu display.<br />
## All three can be set to the same file. In fact, setting them to different files can give unexpected results.<br />
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.<br />
# If the selected tileset requires modifications to the [[Raw]]s, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself, and may only be valid for older versions. Likewise, some tilesets may suggest changes to {{tt|d_init.txt}}, such as {{tt|[PILLAR_TILE:255]}}, but those options no longer exist.<br />
<br />
Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset! The game does not save these FONT options in {{tt|prefs/init.txt}}, so adding them there will only be temporary.<br />

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.<br />

|comments=Version 2.05. Updated 11/12/07 to de-fuzz uppercase letters, added serifs and clarified lowercase letters, made horizontal spacing consistent throughout character set, fixed one error in the double horizontal-left-right, single-vertical-up-down character, made exclamation points consistent, thinned out question mark and inverse question mark, sharpened sideways stemless arrows, clarified international characters, and clarified some Greek letters. Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.<br />

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10&times;10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.<br />

The odd tile size fills the above resolutions without artifacts and it gives an advantage in design, making for sharp features and equal spacing between characters.

So my first try was to apply a solid background to all tiles of Talryth square tileset ( except few ones ), but it came out looking like a bunch of vermin swimming in a goblin's vomit... anyway I tried further and began to experiment with different base tilesets and finally made my own, using elements from tilesets of other authors ( mainly Tocky's one, big thanks to him! ). Then I spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then I applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and I think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well. <br />

|comments=I like Dig Dwarfier, but I don't like their tileset so much. I fused DigDeeperNEW_16x16 with Aesomatica_16x16 to make this. I just took what I liked and put it in. I hope that others like it too! This will work with Dig Dwarfier v0.85, I am not yet aware of whether or not it will work with Dig Deeper put into vanilla. <br />

|comments=Gold Plated is updated. Improvements complete. Some tiles were redrawn and corrected.<br />
This tileset contains the best graphic tiles (in my opinion) that were collected from many other tilesets and other games; I took [[User:Lemunde|Lemunde's]] tileset as a basis (thanx a lot, Lemunde). Some of tiles were drawn by me. Many tiles were reworked and improved with some additional colours. I hope you enjoy with this tiles. ;)<br />

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).<br />
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)<br />
V1 can still be found [[:Image:16x16_isenhertz_v1.png|here]].<br />

|comments=This is a modified version of Mike Mayday's/Herrbdog's tileset. It has a more textured feel to the walls and makes heavy use of the new transparency features to make some of the tiles a little more dynamic. You can view a preview map [http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7000-dragonskull here]. I recommend changing the sky settings in the init.txt file to [SKY:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.<br />
<br />
Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.<br />

The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. The MDA card did not actually support displaying the font in 8x14, but ONLY 9x14 mode, see below. Theoretically, you CAN upload this font into EGA video memory though and use it.<br />

|comments=The IBM EGA character set, dumped from the 6277356 IBM EGA BIOS ROM. This font is as would be displayed on an EGA/VGA with the 9-pixel-width mode disabled. Best for a 64:35 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is different from the MDA version in that many characters are slightly narrower to avoid 'running into' each other, and many characters have been shifted slightly to the left.<br />
Thanks to Zaratustra for poking me into getting this done, and for related help.<br />

Updated new glyphs to be more consistent with the Fixedsys style. - v2.1 - update a few more glyphs, namely the integral, the infinity symbol, and the spade, and a few others I'm forgetting. - v2.2 - update the club and spade, and the music notes - v2.3 - fix the fact that 0xF9 and 0xFA were inadvertently swapped.<br />

The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is actually different from the 8x14 version in that 20 characters have been replaced with the original MDA wide versions. These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8&times;8 font in the EGA BIOS ROM. The changed characters, in ASCII order, are: arrow-left-and-right, '"', '+', '-', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'ae', cent sign, yen, peseta, plus-minus, and division sign. Other than these characters, all characters are the same, with rightmost-row duplicated on the C and D rows like the MDA (though I don't actually know if this is technically correct).<br />

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements. You can discuss the matter [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=000645 here].<br />

Since all these versions run well with Steam and the Steam Linux Runtime, one trick if you're having problems getting Dwarf Fortress running on your Linux Distro is to ensure you have *Steam* running and then configure Dwarf Fortress to use the proper Steam Linux Runtime (1.0 Scout). That will skip a lot of dependency issues, particularly for the older, Legacy version.<br />
<br />
=== Premium ===<br />
For our purposes, this is the version that you would purchase from the Steam Store. It's excellent. It runs perfectly and the community controller support is great. You can also purchase the premium version and run it with classic glyphs. <br />
<br />
=== Classic ===<br />
The current version you download directly from the Bay12 Games site. Basically the premium version but with the classics glyphs. Runs great on the Steam Deck though the default Tiles and Colors really need to be adjusted for the best experience. Also, if not using a keyboard/mouse, you will need to setup the controller yourself.<br />
<br />
=== Legacy ===<br />
Before premium, fancy graphics, and a mouse interface there was the Legacy version. Currently that's v0.47.5 and it's available from the Bay 12 Games site. This wiki refers to it as DF2014. The Controller support on the deck is pretty great so even if you aren't runnign with a keyboard/mouse you can easily create a custom controller layout for most of the keyboard controls.<br />

In order to install [[Dwarf Fortress]], simply download the latest version, extract its contents, and play. <br />
{{quick download|{{current/version/ns}}}}<br />
<br />
= Download =<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress Classic'' is freely available directly from the developers, Bay 12 Games, at http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ . Simply find the version that matches your operating system and click the link. You will be prompted to save an archive file, do so and follow the installation instructions bellow.<br />
<br />
: The three downloads linked at the top of the main page are 64-bit versions of DF for Windows, macOS, and Linux. "All versions" links to a page with additional choices, including 32-bit builds for all platforms, "small" builds for Windows (which lack sound files), and "legacy" builds for Windows. Generally, the SDL builds for Windows should be preferred, although the Legacy builds may be necessary on some older computers. <br />
<br />
''[[Dwarf Fortress|Dwarf Fortress Premium]]'' can be download and installed from [https://store.steampowered.com/app/975370/Dwarf_Fortress/ Steam] and [https://kitfoxgames.itch.io/dwarf-fortress itch.io] platforms like you would install any other game there. <br />
<br />
== Third-Party Packages ==<br />
<br />
{{main|Utility:Lazy Newb Pack}}<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
= Installation =<br />
:''Also see: [[System requirements]]''<br />
<br />
== Windows ==<br />
<br />
There is no installer for the game. Simply right-click the zip archive you downloaded and choose <code>Extract All...</code>, then choose a destination folder, and click <code>Extract</code> (or maybe <code>Unzip</code> or <code>Next</code> on older versions of Windows). By default Windows uses the name of the archive as the folder name, in the folder the archive is in, so something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\df_47_05_win</code>. You should change that to something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\Dwarf Fortress</code> or <code>C:\games\Dwarf Fortress</code>. After the files have been extracted, double-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file within the folder you chose to start the game.<br />
<br />
* Make sure to actually ''extract'' the archive; do not just double-click the archive and run the game from the window that appears. If you do this, then it may appear to work, but your save game data will get discarded - the cause of many "my saved games keep getting deleted" complaints. <br />
* The game needs to be able to write to its own folder, choose a game folder your user has write access to without requiring administrator rights for example: your <code>Downloads</code> folder, <code>Desktop</code>, or <code>C:\games\..</code>; do '''not''' install it in <code>C:\Program Files\..</code> if you are running Windows Vista or later.<br />
<br />
Troubleshooting: <br />
<br />
* If you have an error stating that MSVCP140.dll is missing, it can be obtained by downloading [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015]. When prompted choose the x64 version for 64-bit DF, or the x86 version for 32-bit DF.<br />
* If Windows is set to scale the display, you may need to disable that for DF. Right-click the ''Dwarf Fortress.exe'' icon, select '''Properties''', select the '''Compatibility''' tab, and then activate the '''Disable display scaling on high DPI settings''' (or '''Override high DPI scaling behavior, scaling performed by: Application''') check box.[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3025083/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices]<br />
<br />
Creating shortcuts:<br />
<br />
* Right-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file and choose any of <code>Pin to Start</code>, <code>Pin to taskbar</code>, or <code>Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)</code>. (The availability of these options may vary depending on the version of Windows.)<br />
<br />
== Mac ==<br />
<br />
The Mac version is not an application bundle. Like the Windows version, it consists of a folder containing the application and data files; there is no installer. The entire folder can be dragged into the Applications folder or placed elsewhere. As with the Windows version, the game must be able to write to its own folder.<br />
<br />
To start the game, execute the launch script "df". Launching "dwarfort.exe" by itself will ''not'' work (since the "df" script sets up [[wikipedia:environment variables|environment variables]] pointing to DF's libraries).<br />
<br />
There are alternative installation options, such as [[Utility:Lazy newb pack|pre-packaged bundles]] and [https://github.com/Bachsau/DF-Mac-Launcher this third-party app launcher], that may make the game easier to start and fix some of the issues listed below.<br />
<br />
=== Fixes for common issues ===<br />
<br />
Changing the ``PRINT_MODE`` setting in data/init/[[init.txt]] from ``2D`` to ``STANDARD`` is necessary on some systems, particularly macOS 11+ (see below) and machines with Retina displays {{bug|6031}}. Doing this on any macOS system can improve performance significantly {{bug|10052}}. Other values for this setting, like ``FRAME_BUFFER``, may also help.<br />
<br />
On macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and above, if you encounter gatekeeper security-related warnings that prevent DF from starting, one solution (from [https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/1465 here]) is to run the following command from the terminal in the folder containing <code>dwarfort.exe</code>:<br />
* <code>find . -print0 | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine</code><br />
<br />
On macOS 11 (Big Sur) and above, if you see a blank white window when starting the game, you will need to change ``[PRINT_MODE:2D]`` to ``[PRINT_MODE:STANDARD]`` in [[init.txt]]. {{bug|11680}}<br />
<br />
On case-sensitive filesystems, a freshly-installed version of the game will not launch. {{bug|11136}}<br />
* Rename "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/FreeType.framework" to "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/freetype.framework" to fix this.<br />
<br />
If you are using Parallels Desktop, you might need to change the file association for ``*.exe`` files to prevent the script from opening Parallels automatically. To do this:<br />
* Right click ``dwarfort.exe`` then click "Get Info"<br />
* Then click on "Open with:", select "Other..."<br />
* Then and select "Finder"<br />
* Change "Enable: Recommended Applications" to "Enabled: All Applications"<br />
* Select "Finder" and then click "Add"<br />
<br />
== Linux ==<br />
<br />
You may want to check if the package manager for the Linux distribution you are using has a ''Dwarf Fortress'' package. A package will get the correct build of DF for your system, handle all the dependencies and configuration, make any necessary system-specific fixes, probably add an entry to the system application launcher or menu, and handle updates. Note that in some cases, these packages can lag behind official DF releases, and they typically only support a single system-wide installation of DF. If you want a version of DF newer than what your package manager provides, or if you want a portable installation, follow the instructions in the rest of this section instead.<br />
<br />
As of 0.43.05, both 64-bit and 32-bit compiled builds of ''Dwarf Fortress'' are available for Linux. Note, to get the 32-bit edition, click the All Versions button on the ''Dwarf Fortress'' download page. Older 32-bit only versions can possibly run on a 64-bit system if the system has the required (32-bit) shared libraries, see below.<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' for Linux is expected to be run from a terminal (command-line) interface, and so the instructions here will assume you know how to log in and get to a command prompt. By default, however, ''Dwarf Fortress'' is a graphical desktop program (an X client), so you should be in a terminal emulator (inside an X session) before starting the game. (See [[Installation#TEXT mode]] for an alternative.) ''Dwarf Fortress'' will create a new window outside of the terminal window by default, so don't worry about the size of the terminal.<br />
<br />
When you installed Linux, you chose either a 32-bit (i386, x86) or 64-bit (amd64, x86_64) architecture. Some systems are able to run programs for either, but it is best to use a version of DF compiled for the same architecture. If you've forgotten which one you have, you can check by running the command <code>uname -m</code> in a terminal. A result of <code>x86_64</code> and <code>i686</code> would indicate 64-bit or 32-bit respectively.<br />
<br />
'''Downloading''': Either download it from the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ Dwarf Fortress Homepage] with a web browser, or with one of these terminal commands, replacing "XX_YY" with the numbers in the desired ''Dwarf Fortress'' file version, found on the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ site]:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
or, for the 32-bit version:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux32.tar.bz2<br />
<br />
'''Unpacking''': ''Dwarf Fortress'' is shipped as a (bzip2) compressed tar archive. It will extract into a new directory called '''df_linux'''. So, <code>cd</code> to wherever you want the game to be unpacked, perhaps <code>~/games</code>, and then run<br />
tar -xjf /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
where /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2 is the path and filename of the actual file you downloaded.<br />
<br />
(note: <code>tar -xjvf ./df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2</code> may be needed in some cases. [what cases? all this does is add verbosity and assume the file is in the current dir])<br />
<br />
'''Running''': First, change to the new directory<br />
cd df_linux<br />
then execute the launcher script.<br />
./df<br />
<br />
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. Specific installation commands for some distributions are in the sections below. 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.<br />
<br />
If you see any errors related to libstdc++ when starting DF (for example, "version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found"), try removing libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 from the "libs" folder. This will cause DF to use the system version of these libraries, which are more up-to-date on many modern systems than the libraries that DF includes.<br />
<br />
Since ''Dwarf Fortress'' 0.43.05 and later are compiled for both architectures, running natively shouldn't be an issue. However if you're wanting to run an older version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit system, things get a bit trickier. Since older DF is only a 32-bit application, it will need 32-bit versions of the shared libraries. Some Linux distributions provide these in one or more packages that you can download. For example, in Debian, you'll need to enable the 32bit architecture in your package manager and install the relevant 32-bit libraries like libSDL. If your distribution does not include these, then you may have to supply them manually. Though, at that point it may just be easier to run the old windows version of DF in Wine.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Debian-based ===<br />
<br />
Installing the dependencies for ''Dwarf Fortress'' is simple, but varies slightly depending on whether you're running a 32-bit OS, a 64-bit OS, or a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit OS.<br />
<br />
==== 64-bit (recent version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', most modern machines) ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
This will install the SDL image and font libraries necessary, as well as libopenal and libsndfile, which are needed to get the sound working. It will also install libncursesw5, which is needed if you want to run ''Dwarf Fortress'' in ''TEXT'' mode.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
In some old versions, ''Dwarf Fortress'' does not quite look in the correct place for the sound libraries it needs to play the wonderful music. This is easily fixed.<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== Running 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' on 64-bit Debian ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
If you're trying to run a version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' older than 0.43.05, you'll need to install the 32-bit versions of the libraries. You can do this with:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br />
$ sudo apt-get update<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libopenal1:i386 libsndfile1:i386 libncursesw5:i386<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Almost the same as above, but the libraries will be in a different location as you're looking for the 32-bit versions:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Just as above sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== 32-bit ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
As above, this will install the SDL image and font libraries, sound libraries, and text libraries.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== Standard package ====<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is also available as a package in the (non-free) Debian repositories. You can install it (with all dependencies) with a simple<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Fedora ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' has been packaged in [https://rpmfusion.org/ RPM Fusion Nonfree], using a similar method as it is done in Arch Linux (see below). After [https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration installing RPM Fusion] you can simply run the following commands to install and run ''Dwarf Fortress'', which will pull in all the required dependencies:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install dwarffortress<br />
$ dwarffortress<br />
<br />
The Fedora package is configured to use <code>~/.dwarffortress</code> for per user configuration. Most importantly, your saves and configuration files are in the <code>~/.dwarffortress/data</code> folder. <br />
<br />
Some other tools are provided by the same packager in the [https://mars.arosser.com/fedora/dwarffortress/dwarffortress.repo "Dwarf Fortress for Fedora"] repository. For more information please [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158289.msg7009116#msg7009116 see this forum thread].<br />
<br />
If you want to install 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' manually, you can run the following:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf gtk2-devel openal-soft alsa-lib alsa-plugins-pulseaudio mesa-dri-drivers<br />
<br />
On 64-bit Fedora installations, to install 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' you can install 32-bit libraries by appending ".i686" to the package name:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL.i686 SDL_image.i686 SDL_ttf.i686 gtk2-devel.i686 openal-soft.i686 alsa-lib.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 mesa-dri-drivers.i686<br />
<br />
Fedora installs all 32-bit libraries to /usr/lib and 64-bit libraries to /usr/lib64 (with /lib and /lib64 being links to these two directories), so if you need to install stuff manually, look in there.<br />
<br />
=== Arch Linux ===<br />
A 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' package is available in the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#community community repository]. There are also [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=dwarffortress other packages] available in the Arch User Repository ([https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository AUR]).<br />
<br />
==== Official package installation ====<br />
Install the official package like any other<br />
# pacman -Syu dwarffortress<br />
Any required dependencies will be installed, too.<br />
<br />
You can then launch ''Dwarf Fortress'' by running 'dwarffortress' in your terminal emulator. The package also includes a .desktop file so the game should appear in whatever application launcher or menu you might use.<br />
<br />
The first time a user launches the game, the directory .dwarffortress will be created in that user's home directory. Game settings and files can be changed there. Note that some of the directories in there are links to common directories and changes to them will effect all users. Also, any changes to common files should be backed up since they will be overwritten when the package updates. You can find the locations of files installed by the package with the command<br />
$ pacman -Ql dwarffortress<br />
<br />
If you use tools like dfhack you might want to [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Skip_package_from_being_upgraded configure pacman to not update] ''Dwarf Fortress'' until the tools are updated.<br />
<br />
==== AUR package installation ====<br />
Install an AUR package [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages manually] or using an [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers AUR helper]. The different AUR packages may or may not install the game similarly to the official package - use the previous pacman command to check game file locations.<br />
<br />
==== Manual or multiple installations ====<br />
You can also manually install ''Dwarf Fortress'' in case you want to try other versions or with and without mods. Just follow the generic Linux instructions above with a different directory for each install. If you've installed one of the above packages, all the dependencies should already be installed, except maybe GTK2. The package in the official repositories patches ``libgraphics.so`` to remove the GTK2 dependency. If you get an error that ``libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0`` cannot be opened, you can either use the ``libgraphics.so`` from the official package, by copying it to the ``libs`` folder in the new install or linking to it from there, or install GTK2.<br />
<br />
To launch this version: in a terminal emulator, ``cd`` to that directory, and run ``./df``. If you get a permission error, you may need to mark the script and executable as being executable with:<br />
$ chmod u+x df libs/Dwarf_Fortress<br />
Once you get an install working you can create a [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries custom .desktop file] to launch it.<br />
<br />
If you want to install a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you will have to enable the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#multilib multilib repository], install the 32-bit system libraries, and install the 32-bit game dependencies manually (check the Arch wiki for more information).<br />
<br />
=== CentOS 7 ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is now 64-bit, so simply run:<br />
<br />
sudo yum install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf openal<br />
<br />
Note that CentOS 7 ships with glibc 2.17, but ''Dwarf Fortress'' by default would like 2.18. [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9893 This bug] has a fix, simply copy the [http://pastebin.com/jX4Wf062 Pastebin script], then move the libraries into a new folder.<br />
<br />
cd df_linux<br />
curl -L http://pastebin.com/raw/jX4Wf062 > df<br />
mkdir c_libs<br />
mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 c_libs/<br />
chmod a+x df<br />
<br />
Then run it!<br />
./df<br />
<br />
=== Gentoo ===<br />
<br />
There is a ''Dwarf Fortress'' [https://packages.gentoo.org/package/games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress ebuild] in the main Gentoo's portage tree compatible with the new multilib support.<br />
<br />
# emerge -av games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Solus ===<br />
<br />
Download ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay 12 Games website. If you encounter the following error upon launch:<br />
<br />
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br />
<br />
then simply run the following command to install the missing libraries:<br />
<br />
sudo eopkg install sdl-ttf<br />
<br />
If you are running a 32bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', simply replace <code>sdl-ttf</code> with <code>sdl-ttf-32bit</code> in the above command. You're all set!<br />
<br />
=== OpenSuse Tumbleweed ===<br />
These instructions should work for OpenSuse Leap as well, they just haven't been tested yet.<br />
==== Dependencies ====<br />
$ sudo zypper in libGLU1 libSDL_image-1_2-0 libSDL_ttf-2_0-0<br />
==== Remove the included c++ library ====<br />
The included library isn't compatible with OpenSuse's <code>libGLU1</code> package<br />
$ cd path/to/df_linux/libs<br />
$ rm libstdc++.so.6<br />
<br />
cd back to df_linux/ and run the game!<br />
$ cd ../<br />
$ ./df<br />
<br />
=== SteamOS / Steam Deck ===<br />
<br />
SteamOS is an Arch Linux-based Linux distribution that comes preinstalled on the Steam Deck.<br />
<br />
The latest version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' is available on the Steam Store and runs on most Linux distributions without much difficulty. It is also Steam Deck compatible. You can also download older versions of ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay12 Games and install them directly on the Steam Deck.<br />
<br />
==== Non-Steam Install ====<br />
<br />
To install and run a non-Steam version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you first need to switch to ''Desktop Mode'' on your Steam Deck by selecting ''Steam'' > ''Power'' > ''Switch to Desktop''. We are going to assume that you have a working keyboard for everything at this point.<br />
<br />
If you've already installed Firefox or some other browser then go to the site and download the Linux version. Otherwise, open the Konsole terminal emulator and use the following commands (or something like it):<br />
<br />
$ mkdir Apps; cd Apps # Create a folder for our downloaded games and apps<br />
$ wget https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2 # We want 47.05 :)<br />
$ bunzip2 df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2 # Unzip the file<br />
$ tar xvf df_47_05_linux.tar # Extract the files<br />
$ mv df_linux DwarfFortress # Give it a friendly name<br />
$ cd DwarfFortress # Change directory<br />
$ mkdir -p libs/old # Create a dir for some old files<br />
$ mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 libs/old # Stash these old libraries<br />
<br />
==== Application Launcher and Runtime Configuration====<br />
<br />
At this point we're ready to configure our Launcher. Open the Steam client and choose ''Add a Game'' > ''Add a Non-Steam Game ...'' from the bottom left. Then ''Browse'' to open a file selection menu and browse to the ''df'' executable in the <code>~/Apps/DwarfFortress</code> folder. You will need to change the filter to ''All Files''. After that choose ''Add Selected Programs''. You should now have a new Steam Game called ''df'' in your Game Library.<br />
<br />
Let's clean that up that name. Choose the ''df'' game and select its ''Settings'' icon and choose ''Properties''. Rename it something like ''Dwarf Fortress Legacy''.<br />
<br />
Next we need to tell Steam to run the game with its older runtime. Click the ''Compatibility'' tab and choose ''Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool'' then choose ''Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (Scout)''. This is also the runtime that's used with when you run newer Classic and Premium versions.<br />
<br />
That's it! You should now have a nicely running version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on your Steam Deck. At this point you can switch back to Gaming Mode and everything should work. But, there are a couple quality-of-life settings you might want to do first.<br />
<br />
==== Extra Settings ====<br />
<br />
You probably want to update the Controller settings for the game. By default it will choose ''Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad'' so you want to change that to something like ''Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse''.<br />
<br />
Next, you should edit the <code>~/Apps/DwarfFortress/data/init/init.txt</code> file and force fullscreen on startup. You can also download a nice [[Tileset]] (16x16 seems to work pretty well). But for now you can run these commands in your <Code>DwarfFortress</code> folder and it will update the screen and use the default <code>curses_square_16x16.png</code> tileset.<br />
<br />
$ cd data/init # Go to init folder<br />
$ cp init.txt init.txt.orig # Make a backup!<br />
$ sed -i 's/WINDOWED:YES/WINDOWED:NO/g' init.txt # Go fullscreen (1280x800)<br />
$ sed -i 's/curses_800x600.png/curses_square_16x16.png/g` init.txt # Better font<br />
<br />
Obviously there are lots of additional Dwarf Fortress and Steam Deck configurations but this should get you started.<br />
<br />
=== Wine ===<br />
Downloading the windows version and running it with Wine works fine ([https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=32503 platinum] on 1.7.47 as of .4x.xx, which means the program runs flawlessly without any initial user configuration). This also avoids any issues with 32-bit versus 64-bit mode.<br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting ===<br />
If you get errors, it is likely that others will have had the same problem; Try searching the bay12games forum with the error message.<br />
==== Sound ====<br />
<br />
After installing, DF will run, but will complain that it cannot find the OpenAL library and cannot play sounds, even when OpenAL (i386) has been installed. This is due to a bug/feature in which there is no link from the name of the library that DF is looking for ("libopenal.so") to its implementation ("libopenal.so.1" - technically another link). To fix this, simply provide the necessary links in DF's own ''libs'' directory:<br />
<br />
$ cd df_linux/libs<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 ./libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 ./libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== TEXT mode ====<br />
In this mode - which can be activated in [[init.txt]] - DF uses a terminal as its display, much like classic roguelikes such as Rogue, Moria, and Nethack originally did. There are some caveats for using this mode.<br />
<br />
Some key combinations in the default DF configuration will not work. These can be changed in game by pressing {{k|ESC}} then choosing the Key Bindings option or out of the game by editing the [[interface.txt]] file. This is due to the way terminal emulators handle input, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses ncurses] library, and the way DF interfaces with them.{{bug|5494}} Some examples are the keypad keys with modifiers or {{k|Shift+Enter}}.<br />
<br />
DF uses the CP437 [[Character_table|character set]] and TEXT mode translates those to UTF-8. Characters will only be displayed correctly if the font the terminal emulator is using has glyphs for all of the set. A UTF-8 encoded text file to test glyph coverage can be found [http://www.orenwatson.be/cp437.htm here]. Download the text file, view it in the terminal (using more, less, cat, etc.), and check if the font the terminal is using includes all the characters shown on the HTML version. Some terminals may be configured to use a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallback_font fallback font] if the main one lacks a glyph - that may result in different sized glyphs being used.<br />
<br />
There is a [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59983.0 utility] to convert a DF [[tileset]] to a TTF file. That thread also has downloads for some already converted sets. This does not work for graphics sets. This is one way to get a square font that includes all the characters. [https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/ksquare.shtml Kreative Square] is another though it has many more glyphs than are needed.<br />
<br />
DF's [[colors.txt]] file will have no effect. However, many terminal emulators have settings to change the colors they display. See the terminal emulator's man page for details. Note that the order of the [[Color#Color_values|colors]] is different - the position of the blues and reds are switched as are the cyans and brown/yellow. So, when copying DF color schemes into terminal emulator settings, be sure to change them to the correct order or you'll get yellow "sky", red water, and blue blood.<br />
<br />
Many terminal emulators have a setting to treat bright colored text as bold instead. This will cause dark grey text to be "displayed" as bold, black text - usually on a black background - making it unreadable. See the terminal emulator's man page for an option to disable this behavior. (Note that LXTerminal's disallowbold option does not currently seem to work.)<br />
<br />
If the [[intro movie]] is enabled, DF will not use the full terminal size unless it receives a resize event. If the intro movie is disabled, DF will use the full size from the start. Note, however, that some DF screens do not use the full size of the window under any circumstance.<br />
<br />
==== Upgrading ====<br />
<br />
Since every new version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' unpacks in a directory named '''df_linux''' you have to manage upgrades yourself - or use the [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9639 Linux Updater Script]. As on all systems, you should '''not''' unpack a new version of DF on top of an old version's directory -- this will cause things to break, usually in subtle and mysterious ways. Instead, you should either delete or rename the old '''df_linux''' directory first, before extracting the new version.<br />
<br />
==== Manually installing 32-bit libraries ====<br />
<br />
If you do need to manually install the libraries, then the first step is to figure out where you will be putting them. Check to see where your other 32-bit libraries are already installed; for example, on Debian, some are in /lib32 and others are in /usr/lib32. Since libSDL is in /usr/lib32 on a Debian system, that's where we'll want to put libSDL_image and libSDL_ttf. On other distributions, the path could be different.<br />
<br />
The second step is to get the 32-bit libraries. You can typically do this by downloading them directly from your distribution's 32-bit package repository. Again using Debian as our example, we can perform a search at http://packages.debian.org/ for files containing the word libSDL_image for the Intel x86 architecture. This takes us to [http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libSDL_image&mode=filename&suite=stable&arch=i386 a results page] from which we can proceed to [http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libsdl-image1.2 the libsdl-image1.2 package page] with a list of download links arranged by architecture. Grab the i386 package from here, and repeat this for the libSDL_ttf package, and whatever other library you are missing. Store these package files somewhere convenient.<br />
<br />
The third step is to extract the libraries from the packages and get them in the proper location. You probably ''won't'' be able simply to install the packages using your package manager, because they are for the wrong architecture. Instead, you'll probably have to extract them by hand. The steps for doing this are distribution-specific, so when in doubt consult your distribution's help resources. Here are the steps for a .deb package.<br />
<br />
* cd into some temporary working directory such as /tmp<br />
* Extract the files from the .deb archive, which is in ar(1) format:<br />
tar x /path/to/libsdl-image1.2*_i386.deb<br />
: This creates three files: debian-binary, control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz. We only care about data.tar.gz.<br />
* Extract data.tar.gz:<br />
tar xzf data.tar.gz<br />
: This creates a subdirectory named usr with various files inside it. We only care about usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.8.2 (or whatever precise version yours has).<br />
* Move the shared library into place:<br />
sudo mv usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.* /usr/lib32/<br />
* Create a symlink to it:<br />
cd /usr/lib32<br />
sudo ln -s libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.* libSDL_image-1.2.so.0<br />
cd -<br />
<br />
Repeat this for libSDL_ttf and whatever other libraries are required.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': If you get the error that libsndfile.so is not found, you must use the following:<br />
find */libsndfile.so*<br />
cd to the correct directory, then use ln as shown above.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== "Not found: /data/art/mouse.png" ====<br />
===== Fix 1: Preload zlib=====<br />
Due to incompatibilities between DF's included zlib and newer versions of zlib, libpng can fail on newer systems. A solution is to add this line to the beginning of <code>/your/path/df_linux/df</code> (or <code>/your/path/df_linux/dfhack</code> if you use [[DFHack]]):<br />
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libz.so.1<br />
Note that this path can vary - be sure that it is referring to a '''32-bit''' zlib.<br />
===== Fix 2: Use bmp instead =====<br />
Another solution (if preloading zlib doesn't work) is to force DF to use the BMP versions of image files. You must first edit the ''/data/init/init.txt'' file and change all occurrences of "png" to "bmp". This should solve all the error messages except for one: "''Not found: data/art/mouse.png''" since there is no setting in the init files to change it. The workaround for this is to edit the ''Dwarf_Fortress'' file found in the ''/your/path/df_linux/libs'' folder which contains the setting for the mouse cursor.<br />
If you don't know how to do that, you can try this:<br />
* cd to the ''/df_linux/libs'' folder<br />
* open ''Dwarf_Fortress'' in ''vi'' or any other editor of your choise:<br />
vi ./Dwarf_Fortress<br />
: This opens the file for editing (text mode). If you are not familiar with ''vi'', it would be a good idea to follow these steps exactly and not press any other keys since they all activate specific commands. If you do press a key though, you can press the ''ESC key'' a few times to cancel the command.<br />
* With vi open, write the following string and press ''Enter'':<br />
/mouse<br />
: This will search for all the strings that contain the word "mouse" and place the cursor on the first match. Pressing the ''n key'' will cycle through all the matches.<br />
* Press the ''n'' key until the cursor moves to the desired string, which is "''data/art/mouse.png''". If you accidentally move past the string, you can cycle back through the matched strings using the ''N key'' (shift + n).<br />
* Once you find the right string, you will have to move the cursor over the "p" in "[..]/mouse.<b>p</b>ng". You do that by pressing the ''l key'' which will move the cursor to the right. There is also the ''h key'' to move the cursor to the left, in case you move past it.<br />
* With the cursor in the right position press the following key sequence:<br />
xxxibmp<br />
: This will replace the ''.png'' extension with the ''.bmp'' one which solves the problem of the missing ''/data/art/mouse.png'' error.<br />
* All there is left to do is to save the modifications to the file and quit ''vi''. For that, press the ''ESC key'' once or twice and then press the following key sequence after which you press ''Enter'':<br />
:wq<br />
: This saves the changes and quits 'vi'<br />
<br />
Now the game should work properly. Have fun!<br />
<br />
==== libGL error ====<br />
<br />
''libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open i965''<br />
<br />
''libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast''<br />
<br />
This can be caused by incompatible libgcc_s.so.1<br />
<br />
===== Fix 1: change print mode =====<br />
<br />
* Go to /data/init/init.txt<br />
* Edit PRINT_MODE to be any of the 2D modes or TEXT instead of openGL-based modes like STANDARD, VBO or TWBT.<br />
<br />
===== Fix 2: change library =====<br />
<br />
* Open df_linux/libs folder<br />
* Rename libgcc_s.so.1 to libgcc_s.so.1.bak so that DF will be unable to find it and will default to system libraries.<br />
* If DF still doesn't launch, find and install suitable libgcc with your package manager.<br />
* If you have multiple libgccs, you may need to make a shortcut like with libopenal and libsndfile above.<br />
<br />
==FreeBSD==<br />
<br />
Although there is no official version ported to FreeBSD, ''Dwarf Fortress'' can nevertheless be run using either Wine or FreeBSD's compatibility with Linux. There is now an [https://www.freshports.org/games/linux-dwarffortress/ official port] and installing it can be done the following way (with ports):<br />
<br />
cd /usr/ports/games/linux-dwarffortress/ && make install clean<br />
<br />
or, with pkg:<br />
<br />
pkg install linux-dwarffortress<br />
<br />
You may also wish to download and run it manually. However, attempting to run the Linux version out of the blue will result in an error about missing library files. Such files must be downloaded from special linux-compatible packages or ports; using your preferred installation method, install the following:<br />
<br />
===linux-c6===<br />
sudo pkg install linux-c6-gtk2 linux-c6-sdl linux-c6-sdl_image linux-c6-sdl_ttf linux-c6-libGLU \<br />
linux-c6-openal-soft linux-c6-libsndfile linux-c6-alsa-plugins-oss<br />
<br />
===linux-f10===<br />
If you don't have the linux-c6 ports available in your system, you can still run ''Dwarf Fortress'' (albeit without sound) using the following packages:<br />
sudo pkg install linux-f10-alsa-lib linux-f10-atk linux-f10-cairo linux-f10-expat linux-f10-fontconfig \<br />
linux-f10-gtk2 linux-f10-jpeg linux-f10-pango linux-f10-png linux-f10-sdl linux-f10-sdl_image linux-f10-tiff \<br />
linux-f10-xorg-libs linux-sdl_ttf linux_base-f10 linux_dri linux-f10-libGLU<br />
linux_dri might be optional if you have the NVIDIA driver. Note that due to the lack of a linux-f10-libsndfile port, the sound will not work. Requests are being made to [http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2013-January/247698.html port] it, as well as a [https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178474 DF] port itself.<br />
<br />
<br />
After you install the required packages, copy (or symlink) DF's own library files to the linux-compatible directory:<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo cp libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
Or<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo ln -s libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
<br />
You can then run DF normally. Although it will likely display a bunch of warnings and errors about fonts, it should work.<br />
<br />
If you want to avoid polluting your linux-compatible directory, you can always just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running df:<br />
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./df<br />
<br />
== Chrome OS (Crostini) ==<br />
<br />
It is possible to add ''Dwarf Fortress'' to Chrome OS using the Linux (Beta), to add Linux to Chrome OS, [https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?p=chromebook_linuxapps check here to enable it]<br />
You will need to edit the sources list to include the "non-free" repository, this is done by adding "non-free" to the end of the main sources file found at /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
<br />
e.g.<br />
# Generated by distrobuilder<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main non-free<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main non-free<br />
Followed by running<br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
Then just follow the Debian instructions above<br />
<br />
== Android ==<br />
<br />
There is no Android version, but the Windows version can be run on it using ExaGear, Eltech's Windows emulator (which is essentially Wine for Android), as documented [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174983.0 here]. The app isn't free though.<br />
<br />
== iOS ==<br />
<br />
There is no iOS version, but you may remotely connect to a computer running DF through an app called [https://mifki.com/df/ Dwarf Fortress Remote]. This requires a special version of [[DFHack]] to be run on the target computer which you may download at the same time. It also provides a subscription where you connect to an already set up remote server.<br />

In order to install [[Dwarf Fortress]], simply download the latest version, extract its contents, and play. <br />
{{quick download|{{current/version/ns}}}}<br />
<br />
= Download =<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress Classic'' is freely available directly from the developers, Bay 12 Games, at http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ . Simply find the version that matches your operating system and click the link. You will be prompted to save an archive file, do so and follow the installation instructions bellow.<br />
<br />
: The three downloads linked at the top of the main page are 64-bit versions of DF for Windows, macOS, and Linux. "All versions" links to a page with additional choices, including 32-bit builds for all platforms, "small" builds for Windows (which lack sound files), and "legacy" builds for Windows. Generally, the SDL builds for Windows should be preferred, although the Legacy builds may be necessary on some older computers. <br />
<br />
''[[Dwarf Fortress|Dwarf Fortress Premium]]'' can be download and installed from [https://store.steampowered.com/app/975370/Dwarf_Fortress/ Steam] and [https://kitfoxgames.itch.io/dwarf-fortress itch.io] platforms like you would install any other game there. <br />
<br />
== Third-Party Packages ==<br />
<br />
{{main|Utility:Lazy Newb Pack}}<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
= Installation =<br />
:''Also see: [[System requirements]]''<br />
<br />
== Windows ==<br />
<br />
There is no installer for the game. Simply right-click the zip archive you downloaded and choose <code>Extract All...</code>, then choose a destination folder, and click <code>Extract</code> (or maybe <code>Unzip</code> or <code>Next</code> on older versions of Windows). By default Windows uses the name of the archive as the folder name, in the folder the archive is in, so something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\df_47_05_win</code>. You should change that to something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\Dwarf Fortress</code> or <code>C:\games\Dwarf Fortress</code>. After the files have been extracted, double-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file within the folder you chose to start the game.<br />
<br />
* Make sure to actually ''extract'' the archive; do not just double-click the archive and run the game from the window that appears. If you do this, then it may appear to work, but your save game data will get discarded - the cause of many "my saved games keep getting deleted" complaints. <br />
* The game needs to be able to write to its own folder, choose a game folder your user has write access to without requiring administrator rights for example: your <code>Downloads</code> folder, <code>Desktop</code>, or <code>C:\games\..</code>; do '''not''' install it in <code>C:\Program Files\..</code> if you are running Windows Vista or later.<br />
<br />
Troubleshooting: <br />
<br />
* If you have an error stating that MSVCP140.dll is missing, it can be obtained by downloading [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015]. When prompted choose the x64 version for 64-bit DF, or the x86 version for 32-bit DF.<br />
* If Windows is set to scale the display, you may need to disable that for DF. Right-click the ''Dwarf Fortress.exe'' icon, select '''Properties''', select the '''Compatibility''' tab, and then activate the '''Disable display scaling on high DPI settings''' (or '''Override high DPI scaling behavior, scaling performed by: Application''') check box.[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3025083/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices]<br />
<br />
Creating shortcuts:<br />
<br />
* Right-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file and choose any of <code>Pin to Start</code>, <code>Pin to taskbar</code>, or <code>Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)</code>. (The availability of these options may vary depending on the version of Windows.)<br />
<br />
== Mac ==<br />
<br />
The Mac version is not an application bundle. Like the Windows version, it consists of a folder containing the application and data files; there is no installer. The entire folder can be dragged into the Applications folder or placed elsewhere. As with the Windows version, the game must be able to write to its own folder.<br />
<br />
To start the game, execute the launch script "df". Launching "dwarfort.exe" by itself will ''not'' work (since the "df" script sets up [[wikipedia:environment variables|environment variables]] pointing to DF's libraries).<br />
<br />
There are alternative installation options, such as [[Utility:Lazy newb pack|pre-packaged bundles]] and [https://github.com/Bachsau/DF-Mac-Launcher this third-party app launcher], that may make the game easier to start and fix some of the issues listed below.<br />
<br />
=== Fixes for common issues ===<br />
<br />
Changing the ``PRINT_MODE`` setting in data/init/[[init.txt]] from ``2D`` to ``STANDARD`` is necessary on some systems, particularly macOS 11+ (see below) and machines with Retina displays {{bug|6031}}. Doing this on any macOS system can improve performance significantly {{bug|10052}}. Other values for this setting, like ``FRAME_BUFFER``, may also help.<br />
<br />
On macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and above, if you encounter gatekeeper security-related warnings that prevent DF from starting, one solution (from [https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/1465 here]) is to run the following command from the terminal in the folder containing <code>dwarfort.exe</code>:<br />
* <code>find . -print0 | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine</code><br />
<br />
On macOS 11 (Big Sur) and above, if you see a blank white window when starting the game, you will need to change ``[PRINT_MODE:2D]`` to ``[PRINT_MODE:STANDARD]`` in [[init.txt]]. {{bug|11680}}<br />
<br />
On case-sensitive filesystems, a freshly-installed version of the game will not launch. {{bug|11136}}<br />
* Rename "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/FreeType.framework" to "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/freetype.framework" to fix this.<br />
<br />
If you are using Parallels Desktop, you might need to change the file association for ``*.exe`` files to prevent the script from opening Parallels automatically. To do this:<br />
* Right click ``dwarfort.exe`` then click "Get Info"<br />
* Then click on "Open with:", select "Other..."<br />
* Then and select "Finder"<br />
* Change "Enable: Recommended Applications" to "Enabled: All Applications"<br />
* Select "Finder" and then click "Add"<br />
<br />
== Linux ==<br />
<br />
You may want to check if the package manager for the Linux distribution you are using has a ''Dwarf Fortress'' package. A package will get the correct build of DF for your system, handle all the dependencies and configuration, make any necessary system-specific fixes, probably add an entry to the system application launcher or menu, and handle updates. Note that in some cases, these packages can lag behind official DF releases, and they typically only support a single system-wide installation of DF. If you want a version of DF newer than what your package manager provides, or if you want a portable installation, follow the instructions in the rest of this section instead.<br />
<br />
As of 0.43.05, both 64-bit and 32-bit compiled builds of ''Dwarf Fortress'' are available for Linux. Note, to get the 32-bit edition, click the All Versions button on the ''Dwarf Fortress'' download page. Older 32-bit only versions can possibly run on a 64-bit system if the system has the required (32-bit) shared libraries, see below.<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' for Linux is expected to be run from a terminal (command-line) interface, and so the instructions here will assume you know how to log in and get to a command prompt. By default, however, ''Dwarf Fortress'' is a graphical desktop program (an X client), so you should be in a terminal emulator (inside an X session) before starting the game. (See [[Installation#TEXT mode]] for an alternative.) ''Dwarf Fortress'' will create a new window outside of the terminal window by default, so don't worry about the size of the terminal.<br />
<br />
When you installed Linux, you chose either a 32-bit (i386, x86) or 64-bit (amd64, x86_64) architecture. Some systems are able to run programs for either, but it is best to use a version of DF compiled for the same architecture. If you've forgotten which one you have, you can check by running the command <code>uname -m</code> in a terminal. A result of <code>x86_64</code> and <code>i686</code> would indicate 64-bit or 32-bit respectively.<br />
<br />
'''Downloading''': Either download it from the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ Dwarf Fortress Homepage] with a web browser, or with one of these terminal commands, replacing "XX_YY" with the numbers in the desired ''Dwarf Fortress'' file version, found on the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ site]:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
or, for the 32-bit version:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux32.tar.bz2<br />
<br />
'''Unpacking''': ''Dwarf Fortress'' is shipped as a (bzip2) compressed tar archive. It will extract into a new directory called '''df_linux'''. So, <code>cd</code> to wherever you want the game to be unpacked, perhaps <code>~/games</code>, and then run<br />
tar -xjf /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
where /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2 is the path and filename of the actual file you downloaded.<br />
<br />
(note: <code>tar -xjvf ./df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2</code> may be needed in some cases. [what cases? all this does is add verbosity and assume the file is in the current dir])<br />
<br />
'''Running''': First, change to the new directory<br />
cd df_linux<br />
then execute the launcher script.<br />
./df<br />
<br />
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. Specific installation commands for some distributions are in the sections below. 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.<br />
<br />
If you see any errors related to libstdc++ when starting DF (for example, "version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found"), try removing libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 from the "libs" folder. This will cause DF to use the system version of these libraries, which are more up-to-date on many modern systems than the libraries that DF includes.<br />
<br />
Since ''Dwarf Fortress'' 0.43.05 and later are compiled for both architectures, running natively shouldn't be an issue. However if you're wanting to run an older version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit system, things get a bit trickier. Since older DF is only a 32-bit application, it will need 32-bit versions of the shared libraries. Some Linux distributions provide these in one or more packages that you can download. For example, in Debian, you'll need to enable the 32bit architecture in your package manager and install the relevant 32-bit libraries like libSDL. If your distribution does not include these, then you may have to supply them manually. Though, at that point it may just be easier to run the old windows version of DF in Wine.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Debian-based ===<br />
<br />
Installing the dependencies for ''Dwarf Fortress'' is simple, but varies slightly depending on whether you're running a 32-bit OS, a 64-bit OS, or a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit OS.<br />
<br />
==== 64-bit (recent version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', most modern machines) ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
This will install the SDL image and font libraries necessary, as well as libopenal and libsndfile, which are needed to get the sound working. It will also install libncursesw5, which is needed if you want to run ''Dwarf Fortress'' in ''TEXT'' mode.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
In some old versions, ''Dwarf Fortress'' does not quite look in the correct place for the sound libraries it needs to play the wonderful music. This is easily fixed.<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== Running 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' on 64-bit Debian ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
If you're trying to run a version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' older than 0.43.05, you'll need to install the 32-bit versions of the libraries. You can do this with:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br />
$ sudo apt-get update<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libopenal1:i386 libsndfile1:i386 libncursesw5:i386<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Almost the same as above, but the libraries will be in a different location as you're looking for the 32-bit versions:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Just as above sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== 32-bit ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
As above, this will install the SDL image and font libraries, sound libraries, and text libraries.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== Standard package ====<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is also available as a package in the (non-free) Debian repositories. You can install it (with all dependencies) with a simple<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Fedora ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' has been packaged in [https://rpmfusion.org/ RPM Fusion Nonfree], using a similar method as it is done in Arch Linux (see below). After [https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration installing RPM Fusion] you can simply run the following commands to install and run ''Dwarf Fortress'', which will pull in all the required dependencies:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install dwarffortress<br />
$ dwarffortress<br />
<br />
The Fedora package is configured to use <code>~/.dwarffortress</code> for per user configuration. Most importantly, your saves and configuration files are in the <code>~/.dwarffortress/data</code> folder. <br />
<br />
Some other tools are provided by the same packager in the [https://mars.arosser.com/fedora/dwarffortress/dwarffortress.repo "Dwarf Fortress for Fedora"] repository. For more information please [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158289.msg7009116#msg7009116 see this forum thread].<br />
<br />
If you want to install 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' manually, you can run the following:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf gtk2-devel openal-soft alsa-lib alsa-plugins-pulseaudio mesa-dri-drivers<br />
<br />
On 64-bit Fedora installations, to install 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' you can install 32-bit libraries by appending ".i686" to the package name:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL.i686 SDL_image.i686 SDL_ttf.i686 gtk2-devel.i686 openal-soft.i686 alsa-lib.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 mesa-dri-drivers.i686<br />
<br />
Fedora installs all 32-bit libraries to /usr/lib and 64-bit libraries to /usr/lib64 (with /lib and /lib64 being links to these two directories), so if you need to install stuff manually, look in there.<br />
<br />
=== Arch Linux ===<br />
A 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' package is available in the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#community community repository]. There are also [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=dwarffortress other packages] available in the Arch User Repository ([https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository AUR]).<br />
<br />
==== Official package installation ====<br />
Install the official package like any other<br />
# pacman -Syu dwarffortress<br />
Any required dependencies will be installed, too.<br />
<br />
You can then launch ''Dwarf Fortress'' by running 'dwarffortress' in your terminal emulator. The package also includes a .desktop file so the game should appear in whatever application launcher or menu you might use.<br />
<br />
The first time a user launches the game, the directory .dwarffortress will be created in that user's home directory. Game settings and files can be changed there. Note that some of the directories in there are links to common directories and changes to them will effect all users. Also, any changes to common files should be backed up since they will be overwritten when the package updates. You can find the locations of files installed by the package with the command<br />
$ pacman -Ql dwarffortress<br />
<br />
If you use tools like dfhack you might want to [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Skip_package_from_being_upgraded configure pacman to not update] ''Dwarf Fortress'' until the tools are updated.<br />
<br />
==== AUR package installation ====<br />
Install an AUR package [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages manually] or using an [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers AUR helper]. The different AUR packages may or may not install the game similarly to the official package - use the previous pacman command to check game file locations.<br />
<br />
==== Manual or multiple installations ====<br />
You can also manually install ''Dwarf Fortress'' in case you want to try other versions or with and without mods. Just follow the generic Linux instructions above with a different directory for each install. If you've installed one of the above packages, all the dependencies should already be installed, except maybe GTK2. The package in the official repositories patches ``libgraphics.so`` to remove the GTK2 dependency. If you get an error that ``libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0`` cannot be opened, you can either use the ``libgraphics.so`` from the official package, by copying it to the ``libs`` folder in the new install or linking to it from there, or install GTK2.<br />
<br />
To launch this version: in a terminal emulator, ``cd`` to that directory, and run ``./df``. If you get a permission error, you may need to mark the script and executable as being executable with:<br />
$ chmod u+x df libs/Dwarf_Fortress<br />
Once you get an install working you can create a [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries custom .desktop file] to launch it.<br />
<br />
If you want to install a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you will have to enable the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#multilib multilib repository], install the 32-bit system libraries, and install the 32-bit game dependencies manually (check the Arch wiki for more information).<br />
<br />
=== CentOS 7 ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is now 64-bit, so simply run:<br />
<br />
sudo yum install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf openal<br />
<br />
Note that CentOS 7 ships with glibc 2.17, but ''Dwarf Fortress'' by default would like 2.18. [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9893 This bug] has a fix, simply copy the [http://pastebin.com/jX4Wf062 Pastebin script], then move the libraries into a new folder.<br />
<br />
cd df_linux<br />
curl -L http://pastebin.com/raw/jX4Wf062 > df<br />
mkdir c_libs<br />
mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 c_libs/<br />
chmod a+x df<br />
<br />
Then run it!<br />
./df<br />
<br />
=== Gentoo ===<br />
<br />
There is a ''Dwarf Fortress'' [https://packages.gentoo.org/package/games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress ebuild] in the main Gentoo's portage tree compatible with the new multilib support.<br />
<br />
# emerge -av games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Solus ===<br />
<br />
Download ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay 12 Games website. If you encounter the following error upon launch:<br />
<br />
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br />
<br />
then simply run the following command to install the missing libraries:<br />
<br />
sudo eopkg install sdl-ttf<br />
<br />
If you are running a 32bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', simply replace <code>sdl-ttf</code> with <code>sdl-ttf-32bit</code> in the above command. You're all set!<br />
<br />
=== OpenSuse Tumbleweed ===<br />
These instructions should work for OpenSuse Leap as well, they just haven't been tested yet.<br />
==== Dependencies ====<br />
$ sudo zypper in libGLU1 libSDL_image-1_2-0 libSDL_ttf-2_0-0<br />
==== Remove the included c++ library ====<br />
The included library isn't compatible with OpenSuse's <code>libGLU1</code> package<br />
$ cd path/to/df_linux/libs<br />
$ rm libstdc++.so.6<br />
<br />
cd back to df_linux/ and run the game!<br />
$ cd ../<br />
$ ./df<br />
<br />
=== SteamOS / Steam Deck ===<br />
<br />
SteamOS is an Arch Linux-based Linux distribution that comes preinstalled on the Steam Deck.<br />
<br />
The latest version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' is available on the Steam Store and runs on most Linux distributions without much difficulty. It is also Steam Deck compatible. You can also download older versions of ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay12 Games and install them directly on the Steam Deck.<br />
<br />
==== Non-Steam Install ====<br />
<br />
To install and run a non-Steam version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you first need to switch to ''Desktop Mod'' on your Steam Deck by selecting ''Steam'' > ''Power'' > ''Switch to Desktop''. We are going to assume that you have a working keyboard for everything at this point.<br />
<br />
If you've already installed Firefox or some other browser then go to the site and download the Linux version. Otherwise, open the Konsole terminal emulator and use the following commands (or something like it):<br />
<br />
$ mkdir Apps; cd Apps # Create a folder for our downloaded games and apps<br />
$ wget https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2 # we want 47.05 :)<br />
$ bunzip2 df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2 # Unzip the file<br />
$ tar xvf df_47_05_linux.tar # Extract the files<br />
$ mv df_linux DwarfFortress # Give it a friendly name<br />
$ cd DwarfFortress # Change directory<br />
$ mkdir -p libs/old # Create a dir for some old files<br />
$ mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 libs/old # Stash these old libraries<br />
<br />
==== Application Launcher and Runtime Configuration====<br />
<br />
At this point we're ready to configure our Launcher. Open the Steam client and choose ''Add a Game'' > ''Add a Non-Steam Game ...'' from the bottom left. Then ''Browse'' to open a file selection menu and browse to the ''df'' executable in the <code>~/Apps/DwarfFortress</code> folder. You will need to change the filter to ''All Files''. After that choose ''Add Selected Programs''. You should now have a new Steam Game called ''df'' in your Game Library.<br />
<br />
Let's clean that up that name. Choose the ''df'' game and select its ''Settings'' icon and choose ''Properties''. Rename it something like ''Dwarf Fortress Legacy''.<br />
<br />
Next we need to tell Steam to run the game with its older runtime. Click the ''Compatibility'' tab and choose ''Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool'' then choose ''Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (Scout)''. This is also the runtime that's used with when you run newer Classic and Premium versions.<br />
<br />
That's it! You should now have a nicely running version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on your Steam Deck. At this point you can switch back to Gaming Mode and everything should work. But, there are a couple quality-of-life settings you might want to do first.<br />
<br />
==== Extra Settings ====<br />
<br />
You probably want to update the Controller settings for the game. By default it will choose ''Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad'' so you want to change that to something like ''Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse''.<br />
<br />
Next, you should edit the <code>~/Apps/DwarfFortress/data/init/init.txt</code> file and force fullscreen on startup. You can also download a nice [[Tileset]] (16x16 seems to work pretty well). But for now you can run these commands in your <Code>DwarfFortress</code> folder and it will update the screen and use the default <code>curses_square_16x16.png</code> tileset.<br />
<br />
$ cd data/init # Go to init folder<br />
$ cp init.txt init.txt.orig # Make a backup!<br />
$ sed -i 's/WINDOWED:YES/WINDOWED:NO/g' init.txt # Go fullscreen (1280x800)<br />
$ sed -i 's/curses_800x600.png/curses_square_16x16.png/g` init.txt # Better font<br />
<br />
Obviously there are lots of additional Dwarf Fortress and Steam Deck configurations but this should get you started.<br />
<br />
=== Wine ===<br />
Downloading the windows version and running it with Wine works fine ([https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=32503 platinum] on 1.7.47 as of .4x.xx, which means the program runs flawlessly without any initial user configuration). This also avoids any issues with 32-bit versus 64-bit mode.<br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting ===<br />
If you get errors, it is likely that others will have had the same problem; Try searching the bay12games forum with the error message.<br />
==== Sound ====<br />
<br />
After installing, DF will run, but will complain that it cannot find the OpenAL library and cannot play sounds, even when OpenAL (i386) has been installed. This is due to a bug/feature in which there is no link from the name of the library that DF is looking for ("libopenal.so") to its implementation ("libopenal.so.1" - technically another link). To fix this, simply provide the necessary links in DF's own ''libs'' directory:<br />
<br />
$ cd df_linux/libs<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 ./libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 ./libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== TEXT mode ====<br />
In this mode - which can be activated in [[init.txt]] - DF uses a terminal as its display, much like classic roguelikes such as Rogue, Moria, and Nethack originally did. There are some caveats for using this mode.<br />
<br />
Some key combinations in the default DF configuration will not work. These can be changed in game by pressing {{k|ESC}} then choosing the Key Bindings option or out of the game by editing the [[interface.txt]] file. This is due to the way terminal emulators handle input, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses ncurses] library, and the way DF interfaces with them.{{bug|5494}} Some examples are the keypad keys with modifiers or {{k|Shift+Enter}}.<br />
<br />
DF uses the CP437 [[Character_table|character set]] and TEXT mode translates those to UTF-8. Characters will only be displayed correctly if the font the terminal emulator is using has glyphs for all of the set. A UTF-8 encoded text file to test glyph coverage can be found [http://www.orenwatson.be/cp437.htm here]. Download the text file, view it in the terminal (using more, less, cat, etc.), and check if the font the terminal is using includes all the characters shown on the HTML version. Some terminals may be configured to use a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallback_font fallback font] if the main one lacks a glyph - that may result in different sized glyphs being used.<br />
<br />
There is a [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59983.0 utility] to convert a DF [[tileset]] to a TTF file. That thread also has downloads for some already converted sets. This does not work for graphics sets. This is one way to get a square font that includes all the characters. [https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/ksquare.shtml Kreative Square] is another though it has many more glyphs than are needed.<br />
<br />
DF's [[colors.txt]] file will have no effect. However, many terminal emulators have settings to change the colors they display. See the terminal emulator's man page for details. Note that the order of the [[Color#Color_values|colors]] is different - the position of the blues and reds are switched as are the cyans and brown/yellow. So, when copying DF color schemes into terminal emulator settings, be sure to change them to the correct order or you'll get yellow "sky", red water, and blue blood.<br />
<br />
Many terminal emulators have a setting to treat bright colored text as bold instead. This will cause dark grey text to be "displayed" as bold, black text - usually on a black background - making it unreadable. See the terminal emulator's man page for an option to disable this behavior. (Note that LXTerminal's disallowbold option does not currently seem to work.)<br />
<br />
If the [[intro movie]] is enabled, DF will not use the full terminal size unless it receives a resize event. If the intro movie is disabled, DF will use the full size from the start. Note, however, that some DF screens do not use the full size of the window under any circumstance.<br />
<br />
==== Upgrading ====<br />
<br />
Since every new version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' unpacks in a directory named '''df_linux''' you have to manage upgrades yourself - or use the [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9639 Linux Updater Script]. As on all systems, you should '''not''' unpack a new version of DF on top of an old version's directory -- this will cause things to break, usually in subtle and mysterious ways. Instead, you should either delete or rename the old '''df_linux''' directory first, before extracting the new version.<br />
<br />
==== Manually installing 32-bit libraries ====<br />
<br />
If you do need to manually install the libraries, then the first step is to figure out where you will be putting them. Check to see where your other 32-bit libraries are already installed; for example, on Debian, some are in /lib32 and others are in /usr/lib32. Since libSDL is in /usr/lib32 on a Debian system, that's where we'll want to put libSDL_image and libSDL_ttf. On other distributions, the path could be different.<br />
<br />
The second step is to get the 32-bit libraries. You can typically do this by downloading them directly from your distribution's 32-bit package repository. Again using Debian as our example, we can perform a search at http://packages.debian.org/ for files containing the word libSDL_image for the Intel x86 architecture. This takes us to [http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libSDL_image&mode=filename&suite=stable&arch=i386 a results page] from which we can proceed to [http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libsdl-image1.2 the libsdl-image1.2 package page] with a list of download links arranged by architecture. Grab the i386 package from here, and repeat this for the libSDL_ttf package, and whatever other library you are missing. Store these package files somewhere convenient.<br />
<br />
The third step is to extract the libraries from the packages and get them in the proper location. You probably ''won't'' be able simply to install the packages using your package manager, because they are for the wrong architecture. Instead, you'll probably have to extract them by hand. The steps for doing this are distribution-specific, so when in doubt consult your distribution's help resources. Here are the steps for a .deb package.<br />
<br />
* cd into some temporary working directory such as /tmp<br />
* Extract the files from the .deb archive, which is in ar(1) format:<br />
tar x /path/to/libsdl-image1.2*_i386.deb<br />
: This creates three files: debian-binary, control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz. We only care about data.tar.gz.<br />
* Extract data.tar.gz:<br />
tar xzf data.tar.gz<br />
: This creates a subdirectory named usr with various files inside it. We only care about usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.8.2 (or whatever precise version yours has).<br />
* Move the shared library into place:<br />
sudo mv usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.* /usr/lib32/<br />
* Create a symlink to it:<br />
cd /usr/lib32<br />
sudo ln -s libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.* libSDL_image-1.2.so.0<br />
cd -<br />
<br />
Repeat this for libSDL_ttf and whatever other libraries are required.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': If you get the error that libsndfile.so is not found, you must use the following:<br />
find */libsndfile.so*<br />
cd to the correct directory, then use ln as shown above.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== "Not found: /data/art/mouse.png" ====<br />
===== Fix 1: Preload zlib=====<br />
Due to incompatibilities between DF's included zlib and newer versions of zlib, libpng can fail on newer systems. A solution is to add this line to the beginning of <code>/your/path/df_linux/df</code> (or <code>/your/path/df_linux/dfhack</code> if you use [[DFHack]]):<br />
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libz.so.1<br />
Note that this path can vary - be sure that it is referring to a '''32-bit''' zlib.<br />
===== Fix 2: Use bmp instead =====<br />
Another solution (if preloading zlib doesn't work) is to force DF to use the BMP versions of image files. You must first edit the ''/data/init/init.txt'' file and change all occurrences of "png" to "bmp". This should solve all the error messages except for one: "''Not found: data/art/mouse.png''" since there is no setting in the init files to change it. The workaround for this is to edit the ''Dwarf_Fortress'' file found in the ''/your/path/df_linux/libs'' folder which contains the setting for the mouse cursor.<br />
If you don't know how to do that, you can try this:<br />
* cd to the ''/df_linux/libs'' folder<br />
* open ''Dwarf_Fortress'' in ''vi'' or any other editor of your choise:<br />
vi ./Dwarf_Fortress<br />
: This opens the file for editing (text mode). If you are not familiar with ''vi'', it would be a good idea to follow these steps exactly and not press any other keys since they all activate specific commands. If you do press a key though, you can press the ''ESC key'' a few times to cancel the command.<br />
* With vi open, write the following string and press ''Enter'':<br />
/mouse<br />
: This will search for all the strings that contain the word "mouse" and place the cursor on the first match. Pressing the ''n key'' will cycle through all the matches.<br />
* Press the ''n'' key until the cursor moves to the desired string, which is "''data/art/mouse.png''". If you accidentally move past the string, you can cycle back through the matched strings using the ''N key'' (shift + n).<br />
* Once you find the right string, you will have to move the cursor over the "p" in "[..]/mouse.<b>p</b>ng". You do that by pressing the ''l key'' which will move the cursor to the right. There is also the ''h key'' to move the cursor to the left, in case you move past it.<br />
* With the cursor in the right position press the following key sequence:<br />
xxxibmp<br />
: This will replace the ''.png'' extension with the ''.bmp'' one which solves the problem of the missing ''/data/art/mouse.png'' error.<br />
* All there is left to do is to save the modifications to the file and quit ''vi''. For that, press the ''ESC key'' once or twice and then press the following key sequence after which you press ''Enter'':<br />
:wq<br />
: This saves the changes and quits 'vi'<br />
<br />
Now the game should work properly. Have fun!<br />
<br />
==== libGL error ====<br />
<br />
''libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open i965''<br />
<br />
''libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast''<br />
<br />
This can be caused by incompatible libgcc_s.so.1<br />
<br />
===== Fix 1: change print mode =====<br />
<br />
* Go to /data/init/init.txt<br />
* Edit PRINT_MODE to be any of the 2D modes or TEXT instead of openGL-based modes like STANDARD, VBO or TWBT.<br />
<br />
===== Fix 2: change library =====<br />
<br />
* Open df_linux/libs folder<br />
* Rename libgcc_s.so.1 to libgcc_s.so.1.bak so that DF will be unable to find it and will default to system libraries.<br />
* If DF still doesn't launch, find and install suitable libgcc with your package manager.<br />
* If you have multiple libgccs, you may need to make a shortcut like with libopenal and libsndfile above.<br />
<br />
==FreeBSD==<br />
<br />
Although there is no official version ported to FreeBSD, ''Dwarf Fortress'' can nevertheless be run using either Wine or FreeBSD's compatibility with Linux. There is now an [https://www.freshports.org/games/linux-dwarffortress/ official port] and installing it can be done the following way (with ports):<br />
<br />
cd /usr/ports/games/linux-dwarffortress/ && make install clean<br />
<br />
or, with pkg:<br />
<br />
pkg install linux-dwarffortress<br />
<br />
You may also wish to download and run it manually. However, attempting to run the Linux version out of the blue will result in an error about missing library files. Such files must be downloaded from special linux-compatible packages or ports; using your preferred installation method, install the following:<br />
<br />
===linux-c6===<br />
sudo pkg install linux-c6-gtk2 linux-c6-sdl linux-c6-sdl_image linux-c6-sdl_ttf linux-c6-libGLU \<br />
linux-c6-openal-soft linux-c6-libsndfile linux-c6-alsa-plugins-oss<br />
<br />
===linux-f10===<br />
If you don't have the linux-c6 ports available in your system, you can still run ''Dwarf Fortress'' (albeit without sound) using the following packages:<br />
sudo pkg install linux-f10-alsa-lib linux-f10-atk linux-f10-cairo linux-f10-expat linux-f10-fontconfig \<br />
linux-f10-gtk2 linux-f10-jpeg linux-f10-pango linux-f10-png linux-f10-sdl linux-f10-sdl_image linux-f10-tiff \<br />
linux-f10-xorg-libs linux-sdl_ttf linux_base-f10 linux_dri linux-f10-libGLU<br />
linux_dri might be optional if you have the NVIDIA driver. Note that due to the lack of a linux-f10-libsndfile port, the sound will not work. Requests are being made to [http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2013-January/247698.html port] it, as well as a [https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178474 DF] port itself.<br />
<br />
<br />
After you install the required packages, copy (or symlink) DF's own library files to the linux-compatible directory:<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo cp libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
Or<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo ln -s libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
<br />
You can then run DF normally. Although it will likely display a bunch of warnings and errors about fonts, it should work.<br />
<br />
If you want to avoid polluting your linux-compatible directory, you can always just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running df:<br />
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./df<br />
<br />
== Chrome OS (Crostini) ==<br />
<br />
It is possible to add ''Dwarf Fortress'' to Chrome OS using the Linux (Beta), to add Linux to Chrome OS, [https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?p=chromebook_linuxapps check here to enable it]<br />
You will need to edit the sources list to include the "non-free" repository, this is done by adding "non-free" to the end of the main sources file found at /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
<br />
e.g.<br />
# Generated by distrobuilder<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main non-free<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main non-free<br />
Followed by running<br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
Then just follow the Debian instructions above<br />
<br />
== Android ==<br />
<br />
There is no Android version, but the Windows version can be run on it using ExaGear, Eltech's Windows emulator (which is essentially Wine for Android), as documented [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174983.0 here]. The app isn't free though.<br />
<br />
== iOS ==<br />
<br />
There is no iOS version, but you may remotely connect to a computer running DF through an app called [https://mifki.com/df/ Dwarf Fortress Remote]. This requires a special version of [[DFHack]] to be run on the target computer which you may download at the same time. It also provides a subscription where you connect to an already set up remote server.<br />

<br />
== Dwarf Fortress Versions ==<br />
There are a lot of different version and they all run nicely in the SteamOS/Steam Deck environment. I usually break them into three categories.<br />
<br />
- Premium<br />
- Classic<br />
- Legacy (v47)<br />
<br />
=== Premium ===<br />
For our purposes, this is the version that you would purchase from the Steam Store. It's excellent. It runs perfectly and the community controller support is great. You can also purchase the premium version and run it with classic glyphs. <br />
<br />
=== Classic ===<br />
The current version you download directly from the Bay12 Games site. Basically the premium version but with the classics glyphs. Runs great on the Steam Deck though the default Tiles and Colors really need to be adjusted for the best experience. Also, if not using a keyboard/mouse, you will need to setup the controller yourself.<br />
<br />
=== Legacy ===<br />
Before premium, fancy graphics, and a mouse interface there was the Legacy version. Currently that's v0.47.5 and it's available from the Bay 12 Games site. This wiki refers to it as DF2014. <br />

In order to install [[Dwarf Fortress]], simply download the latest version, extract its contents, and play. <br />
{{quick download|{{current/version/ns}}}}<br />
<br />
= Download =<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress Classic'' is freely available directly from the developers, Bay 12 Games, at http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ . Simply find the version that matches your operating system and click the link. You will be prompted to save an archive file, do so and follow the installation instructions bellow.<br />
<br />
: The three downloads linked at the top of the main page are 64-bit versions of DF for Windows, macOS, and Linux. "All versions" links to a page with additional choices, including 32-bit builds for all platforms, "small" builds for Windows (which lack sound files), and "legacy" builds for Windows. Generally, the SDL builds for Windows should be preferred, although the Legacy builds may be necessary on some older computers. <br />
<br />
''[[Dwarf Fortress|Dwarf Fortress Premium]]'' can be download and installed from [https://store.steampowered.com/app/975370/Dwarf_Fortress/ Steam] and [https://kitfoxgames.itch.io/dwarf-fortress itch.io] platforms like you would install any other game there. <br />
<br />
== Third-Party Packages ==<br />
<br />
{{main|Utility:Lazy Newb Pack}}<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
= Installation =<br />
:''Also see: [[System requirements]]''<br />
<br />
== Windows ==<br />
<br />
There is no installer for the game. Simply right-click the zip archive you downloaded and choose <code>Extract All...</code>, then choose a destination folder, and click <code>Extract</code> (or maybe <code>Unzip</code> or <code>Next</code> on older versions of Windows). By default Windows uses the name of the archive as the folder name, in the folder the archive is in, so something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\df_47_05_win</code>. You should change that to something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\Dwarf Fortress</code> or <code>C:\games\Dwarf Fortress</code>. After the files have been extracted, double-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file within the folder you chose to start the game.<br />
<br />
* Make sure to actually ''extract'' the archive; do not just double-click the archive and run the game from the window that appears. If you do this, then it may appear to work, but your save game data will get discarded - the cause of many "my saved games keep getting deleted" complaints. <br />
* The game needs to be able to write to its own folder, choose a game folder your user has write access to without requiring administrator rights for example: your <code>Downloads</code> folder, <code>Desktop</code>, or <code>C:\games\..</code>; do '''not''' install it in <code>C:\Program Files\..</code> if you are running Windows Vista or later.<br />
<br />
Troubleshooting: <br />
<br />
* If you have an error stating that MSVCP140.dll is missing, it can be obtained by downloading [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015]. When prompted choose the x64 version for 64-bit DF, or the x86 version for 32-bit DF.<br />
* If Windows is set to scale the display, you may need to disable that for DF. Right-click the ''Dwarf Fortress.exe'' icon, select '''Properties''', select the '''Compatibility''' tab, and then activate the '''Disable display scaling on high DPI settings''' (or '''Override high DPI scaling behavior, scaling performed by: Application''') check box.[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3025083/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices]<br />
<br />
Creating shortcuts:<br />
<br />
* Right-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file and choose any of <code>Pin to Start</code>, <code>Pin to taskbar</code>, or <code>Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)</code>. (The availability of these options may vary depending on the version of Windows.)<br />
<br />
== Mac ==<br />
<br />
The Mac version is not an application bundle. Like the Windows version, it consists of a folder containing the application and data files; there is no installer. The entire folder can be dragged into the Applications folder or placed elsewhere. As with the Windows version, the game must be able to write to its own folder.<br />
<br />
To start the game, execute the launch script "df". Launching "dwarfort.exe" by itself will ''not'' work (since the "df" script sets up [[wikipedia:environment variables|environment variables]] pointing to DF's libraries).<br />
<br />
There are alternative installation options, such as [[Utility:Lazy newb pack|pre-packaged bundles]] and [https://github.com/Bachsau/DF-Mac-Launcher this third-party app launcher], that may make the game easier to start and fix some of the issues listed below.<br />
<br />
=== Fixes for common issues ===<br />
<br />
Changing the ``PRINT_MODE`` setting in data/init/[[init.txt]] from ``2D`` to ``STANDARD`` is necessary on some systems, particularly macOS 11+ (see below) and machines with Retina displays {{bug|6031}}. Doing this on any macOS system can improve performance significantly {{bug|10052}}. Other values for this setting, like ``FRAME_BUFFER``, may also help.<br />
<br />
On macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and above, if you encounter gatekeeper security-related warnings that prevent DF from starting, one solution (from [https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/1465 here]) is to run the following command from the terminal in the folder containing <code>dwarfort.exe</code>:<br />
* <code>find . -print0 | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine</code><br />
<br />
On macOS 11 (Big Sur) and above, if you see a blank white window when starting the game, you will need to change ``[PRINT_MODE:2D]`` to ``[PRINT_MODE:STANDARD]`` in [[init.txt]]. {{bug|11680}}<br />
<br />
On case-sensitive filesystems, a freshly-installed version of the game will not launch. {{bug|11136}}<br />
* Rename "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/FreeType.framework" to "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/freetype.framework" to fix this.<br />
<br />
If you are using Parallels Desktop, you might need to change the file association for ``*.exe`` files to prevent the script from opening Parallels automatically. To do this:<br />
* Right click ``dwarfort.exe`` then click "Get Info"<br />
* Then click on "Open with:", select "Other..."<br />
* Then and select "Finder"<br />
* Change "Enable: Recommended Applications" to "Enabled: All Applications"<br />
* Select "Finder" and then click "Add"<br />
<br />
== Linux ==<br />
<br />
You may want to check if the package manager for the Linux distribution you are using has a ''Dwarf Fortress'' package. A package will get the correct build of DF for your system, handle all the dependencies and configuration, make any necessary system-specific fixes, probably add an entry to the system application launcher or menu, and handle updates. Note that in some cases, these packages can lag behind official DF releases, and they typically only support a single system-wide installation of DF. If you want a version of DF newer than what your package manager provides, or if you want a portable installation, follow the instructions in the rest of this section instead.<br />
<br />
As of 0.43.05, both 64-bit and 32-bit compiled builds of ''Dwarf Fortress'' are available for Linux. Note, to get the 32-bit edition, click the All Versions button on the ''Dwarf Fortress'' download page. Older 32-bit only versions can possibly run on a 64-bit system if the system has the required (32-bit) shared libraries, see below.<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' for Linux is expected to be run from a terminal (command-line) interface, and so the instructions here will assume you know how to log in and get to a command prompt. By default, however, ''Dwarf Fortress'' is a graphical desktop program (an X client), so you should be in a terminal emulator (inside an X session) before starting the game. (See [[Installation#TEXT mode]] for an alternative.) ''Dwarf Fortress'' will create a new window outside of the terminal window by default, so don't worry about the size of the terminal.<br />
<br />
When you installed Linux, you chose either a 32-bit (i386, x86) or 64-bit (amd64, x86_64) architecture. Some systems are able to run programs for either, but it is best to use a version of DF compiled for the same architecture. If you've forgotten which one you have, you can check by running the command <code>uname -m</code> in a terminal. A result of <code>x86_64</code> and <code>i686</code> would indicate 64-bit or 32-bit respectively.<br />
<br />
'''Downloading''': Either download it from the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ Dwarf Fortress Homepage] with a web browser, or with one of these terminal commands, replacing "XX_YY" with the numbers in the desired ''Dwarf Fortress'' file version, found on the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ site]:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
or, for the 32-bit version:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux32.tar.bz2<br />
<br />
'''Unpacking''': ''Dwarf Fortress'' is shipped as a (bzip2) compressed tar archive. It will extract into a new directory called '''df_linux'''. So, <code>cd</code> to wherever you want the game to be unpacked, perhaps <code>~/games</code>, and then run<br />
tar -xjf /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
where /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2 is the path and filename of the actual file you downloaded.<br />
<br />
(note: <code>tar -xjvf ./df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2</code> may be needed in some cases. [what cases? all this does is add verbosity and assume the file is in the current dir])<br />
<br />
'''Running''': First, change to the new directory<br />
cd df_linux<br />
then execute the launcher script.<br />
./df<br />
<br />
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. Specific installation commands for some distributions are in the sections below. 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.<br />
<br />
If you see any errors related to libstdc++ when starting DF (for example, "version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found"), try removing libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 from the "libs" folder. This will cause DF to use the system version of these libraries, which are more up-to-date on many modern systems than the libraries that DF includes.<br />
<br />
Since ''Dwarf Fortress'' 0.43.05 and later are compiled for both architectures, running natively shouldn't be an issue. However if you're wanting to run an older version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit system, things get a bit trickier. Since older DF is only a 32-bit application, it will need 32-bit versions of the shared libraries. Some Linux distributions provide these in one or more packages that you can download. For example, in Debian, you'll need to enable the 32bit architecture in your package manager and install the relevant 32-bit libraries like libSDL. If your distribution does not include these, then you may have to supply them manually. Though, at that point it may just be easier to run the old windows version of DF in Wine.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Debian-based ===<br />
<br />
Installing the dependencies for ''Dwarf Fortress'' is simple, but varies slightly depending on whether you're running a 32-bit OS, a 64-bit OS, or a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit OS.<br />
<br />
==== 64-bit (recent version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', most modern machines) ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
This will install the SDL image and font libraries necessary, as well as libopenal and libsndfile, which are needed to get the sound working. It will also install libncursesw5, which is needed if you want to run ''Dwarf Fortress'' in ''TEXT'' mode.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
In some old versions, ''Dwarf Fortress'' does not quite look in the correct place for the sound libraries it needs to play the wonderful music. This is easily fixed.<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== Running 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' on 64-bit Debian ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
If you're trying to run a version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' older than 0.43.05, you'll need to install the 32-bit versions of the libraries. You can do this with:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br />
$ sudo apt-get update<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libopenal1:i386 libsndfile1:i386 libncursesw5:i386<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Almost the same as above, but the libraries will be in a different location as you're looking for the 32-bit versions:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Just as above sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== 32-bit ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
As above, this will install the SDL image and font libraries, sound libraries, and text libraries.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== Standard package ====<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is also available as a package in the (non-free) Debian repositories. You can install it (with all dependencies) with a simple<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Fedora ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' has been packaged in [https://rpmfusion.org/ RPM Fusion Nonfree], using a similar method as it is done in Arch Linux (see below). After [https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration installing RPM Fusion] you can simply run the following commands to install and run ''Dwarf Fortress'', which will pull in all the required dependencies:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install dwarffortress<br />
$ dwarffortress<br />
<br />
The Fedora package is configured to use <code>~/.dwarffortress</code> for per user configuration. Most importantly, your saves and configuration files are in the <code>~/.dwarffortress/data</code> folder. <br />
<br />
Some other tools are provided by the same packager in the [https://mars.arosser.com/fedora/dwarffortress/dwarffortress.repo "Dwarf Fortress for Fedora"] repository. For more information please [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158289.msg7009116#msg7009116 see this forum thread].<br />
<br />
If you want to install 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' manually, you can run the following:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf gtk2-devel openal-soft alsa-lib alsa-plugins-pulseaudio mesa-dri-drivers<br />
<br />
On 64-bit Fedora installations, to install 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' you can install 32-bit libraries by appending ".i686" to the package name:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL.i686 SDL_image.i686 SDL_ttf.i686 gtk2-devel.i686 openal-soft.i686 alsa-lib.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 mesa-dri-drivers.i686<br />
<br />
Fedora installs all 32-bit libraries to /usr/lib and 64-bit libraries to /usr/lib64 (with /lib and /lib64 being links to these two directories), so if you need to install stuff manually, look in there.<br />
<br />
=== Arch Linux ===<br />
A 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' package is available in the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#community community repository]. There are also [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=dwarffortress other packages] available in the Arch User Repository ([https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository AUR]).<br />
<br />
==== Official package installation ====<br />
Install the official package like any other<br />
# pacman -Syu dwarffortress<br />
Any required dependencies will be installed, too.<br />
<br />
You can then launch ''Dwarf Fortress'' by running 'dwarffortress' in your terminal emulator. The package also includes a .desktop file so the game should appear in whatever application launcher or menu you might use.<br />
<br />
The first time a user launches the game, the directory .dwarffortress will be created in that user's home directory. Game settings and files can be changed there. Note that some of the directories in there are links to common directories and changes to them will effect all users. Also, any changes to common files should be backed up since they will be overwritten when the package updates. You can find the locations of files installed by the package with the command<br />
$ pacman -Ql dwarffortress<br />
<br />
If you use tools like dfhack you might want to [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Skip_package_from_being_upgraded configure pacman to not update] ''Dwarf Fortress'' until the tools are updated.<br />
<br />
==== AUR package installation ====<br />
Install an AUR package [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages manually] or using an [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers AUR helper]. The different AUR packages may or may not install the game similarly to the official package - use the previous pacman command to check game file locations.<br />
<br />
==== Manual or multiple installations ====<br />
You can also manually install ''Dwarf Fortress'' in case you want to try other versions or with and without mods. Just follow the generic Linux instructions above with a different directory for each install. If you've installed one of the above packages, all the dependencies should already be installed, except maybe GTK2. The package in the official repositories patches ``libgraphics.so`` to remove the GTK2 dependency. If you get an error that ``libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0`` cannot be opened, you can either use the ``libgraphics.so`` from the official package, by copying it to the ``libs`` folder in the new install or linking to it from there, or install GTK2.<br />
<br />
To launch this version: in a terminal emulator, ``cd`` to that directory, and run ``./df``. If you get a permission error, you may need to mark the script and executable as being executable with:<br />
$ chmod u+x df libs/Dwarf_Fortress<br />
Once you get an install working you can create a [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries custom .desktop file] to launch it.<br />
<br />
If you want to install a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you will have to enable the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#multilib multilib repository], install the 32-bit system libraries, and install the 32-bit game dependencies manually (check the Arch wiki for more information).<br />
<br />
=== CentOS 7 ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is now 64-bit, so simply run:<br />
<br />
sudo yum install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf openal<br />
<br />
Note that CentOS 7 ships with glibc 2.17, but ''Dwarf Fortress'' by default would like 2.18. [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9893 This bug] has a fix, simply copy the [http://pastebin.com/jX4Wf062 Pastebin script], then move the libraries into a new folder.<br />
<br />
cd df_linux<br />
curl -L http://pastebin.com/raw/jX4Wf062 > df<br />
mkdir c_libs<br />
mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 c_libs/<br />
chmod a+x df<br />
<br />
Then run it!<br />
./df<br />
<br />
=== Gentoo ===<br />
<br />
There is a ''Dwarf Fortress'' [https://packages.gentoo.org/package/games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress ebuild] in the main Gentoo's portage tree compatible with the new multilib support.<br />
<br />
# emerge -av games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Solus ===<br />
<br />
Download ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay 12 Games website. If you encounter the following error upon launch:<br />
<br />
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br />
<br />
then simply run the following command to install the missing libraries:<br />
<br />
sudo eopkg install sdl-ttf<br />
<br />
If you are running a 32bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', simply replace <code>sdl-ttf</code> with <code>sdl-ttf-32bit</code> in the above command. You're all set!<br />
<br />
=== OpenSuse Tumbleweed ===<br />
These instructions should work for OpenSuse Leap as well, they just haven't been tested yet.<br />
==== Dependencies ====<br />
$ sudo zypper in libGLU1 libSDL_image-1_2-0 libSDL_ttf-2_0-0<br />
==== Remove the included c++ library ====<br />
The included library isn't compatible with OpenSuse's <code>libGLU1</code> package<br />
$ cd path/to/df_linux/libs<br />
$ rm libstdc++.so.6<br />
<br />
cd back to df_linux/ and run the game!<br />
$ cd ../<br />
$ ./df<br />
<br />
=== SteamOS / Steam Deck ===<br />
<br />
SteamOS is an Arch Linux-based Linux distribution that comes preinstalled on the Steam Deck.<br />
<br />
The latest version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' is available on the Steam Store and runs on most Linux distributions without much difficulty. It is also Steam Deck compatible. You can also download older versions of ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay12 Games and install them directly on the Steam Deck.<br />
<br />
==== Non-Steam Install ====<br />
<br />
To install and run a non-Steam version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you first need to switch to ''Desktop Mod'' on your Steam Deck by selecting ''Steam'' > ''Power'' > ''Switch to Desktop''. We are going to assume that you have a working keyboard for everything at this point.<br />
<br />
If you've already installed Firefox or some other browser then go to the site and download the Linux version. Otherwise, open the Konsole terminal emulator and use the following commands (or something like it):<br />
<br />
$ mkdir Apps; cd Apps # Create a folder for our downloaded games and apps<br />
$ wget https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2 # we want 47.05 :)<br />
$ bunzip2 df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2 # Unzip the file<br />
$ tar xvf df_47_05_linux.tar # Extract the files<br />
$ mv df_linux DwarfFortress # Give it a friendly name<br />
$ cd DwarfFortress # Change directory<br />
$ mkdir -p libs/old # Create a dir for some old files<br />
$ mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 libs/old # Stash these old libraries<br />
<br />
==== Application Launcher Configuration ====<br />
<br />
At this point we're ready to configure our Launcher. Open the Steam client and choose ''Add a Game'' > ''Add a Non-Steam Game ...'' from the bottom left. Then ''Browse'' to open a file selection menu and browse to the ''df'' executable in the <code>~/Apps/DwarfFortress</code> folder. You will need to change the filter to ''All Files''. After that choose ''Add Selected Programs''. You should now have a new Steam Game called ''df'' in your Game Library.<br />
<br />
Let's clean that up that name. Choose the ''df'' game and select its ''Settings'' icon and choose ''Properties''. Rename it something like ''Dwarf Fortress Legacy''. Next we need to tell Steam to run the game with its older runtime. Click the ''Compatability'' tab and choose ''Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatability tool'' then choose ''Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (Scout)''.<br />
<br />
That's it! You should now have a nicely running version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on your Steam Deck. At this point you can switch back to Gaming Mode and everything should work. But, there are a couple quality-of-life settings you might want to do first.<br />
<br />
==== Extra Settings ====<br />
<br />
You probably want to update the Controller settings for the game. By default it will choose ''Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad'' so you want to change that to something like ''Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse''.<br />
<br />
Next, you should edit the <code>~/Apps/DwarfFortress/data/init/init.txt</code> file and force fullscreen on startup. You can also download a nice [[Tileset]] (16x16 seems to work pretty well). But for now you can run these commands in your <Code>DwarfFortress</code> folder and it will update the screen and use the default <code>curses_square_16x16.png</code> tileset.<br />
<br />
$ cd data/init # Go to init folder<br />
$ cp init.txt init.txt.orig # Make a backup!<br />
$ sed -i 's/WINDOWED:YES/WINDOWED:NO/g' init.txt # Go fullscreen (1280x800)<br />
$ sed -i 's/curses_800x600.png/curses_square_16x16.png/g` init.txt # Better font<br />
<br />
Obviously there are lots of additional Dwarf Fortress and Steam Deck configurations but this should get you started.<br />
<br />
=== Wine ===<br />
Downloading the windows version and running it with Wine works fine ([https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=32503 platinum] on 1.7.47 as of .4x.xx, which means the program runs flawlessly without any initial user configuration). This also avoids any issues with 32-bit versus 64-bit mode.<br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting ===<br />
If you get errors, it is likely that others will have had the same problem; Try searching the bay12games forum with the error message.<br />
==== Sound ====<br />
<br />
After installing, DF will run, but will complain that it cannot find the OpenAL library and cannot play sounds, even when OpenAL (i386) has been installed. This is due to a bug/feature in which there is no link from the name of the library that DF is looking for ("libopenal.so") to its implementation ("libopenal.so.1" - technically another link). To fix this, simply provide the necessary links in DF's own ''libs'' directory:<br />
<br />
$ cd df_linux/libs<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 ./libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 ./libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== TEXT mode ====<br />
In this mode - which can be activated in [[init.txt]] - DF uses a terminal as its display, much like classic roguelikes such as Rogue, Moria, and Nethack originally did. There are some caveats for using this mode.<br />
<br />
Some key combinations in the default DF configuration will not work. These can be changed in game by pressing {{k|ESC}} then choosing the Key Bindings option or out of the game by editing the [[interface.txt]] file. This is due to the way terminal emulators handle input, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses ncurses] library, and the way DF interfaces with them.{{bug|5494}} Some examples are the keypad keys with modifiers or {{k|Shift+Enter}}.<br />
<br />
DF uses the CP437 [[Character_table|character set]] and TEXT mode translates those to UTF-8. Characters will only be displayed correctly if the font the terminal emulator is using has glyphs for all of the set. A UTF-8 encoded text file to test glyph coverage can be found [http://www.orenwatson.be/cp437.htm here]. Download the text file, view it in the terminal (using more, less, cat, etc.), and check if the font the terminal is using includes all the characters shown on the HTML version. Some terminals may be configured to use a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallback_font fallback font] if the main one lacks a glyph - that may result in different sized glyphs being used.<br />
<br />
There is a [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59983.0 utility] to convert a DF [[tileset]] to a TTF file. That thread also has downloads for some already converted sets. This does not work for graphics sets. This is one way to get a square font that includes all the characters. [https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/ksquare.shtml Kreative Square] is another though it has many more glyphs than are needed.<br />
<br />
DF's [[colors.txt]] file will have no effect. However, many terminal emulators have settings to change the colors they display. See the terminal emulator's man page for details. Note that the order of the [[Color#Color_values|colors]] is different - the position of the blues and reds are switched as are the cyans and brown/yellow. So, when copying DF color schemes into terminal emulator settings, be sure to change them to the correct order or you'll get yellow "sky", red water, and blue blood.<br />
<br />
Many terminal emulators have a setting to treat bright colored text as bold instead. This will cause dark grey text to be "displayed" as bold, black text - usually on a black background - making it unreadable. See the terminal emulator's man page for an option to disable this behavior. (Note that LXTerminal's disallowbold option does not currently seem to work.)<br />
<br />
If the [[intro movie]] is enabled, DF will not use the full terminal size unless it receives a resize event. If the intro movie is disabled, DF will use the full size from the start. Note, however, that some DF screens do not use the full size of the window under any circumstance.<br />
<br />
==== Upgrading ====<br />
<br />
Since every new version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' unpacks in a directory named '''df_linux''' you have to manage upgrades yourself - or use the [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9639 Linux Updater Script]. As on all systems, you should '''not''' unpack a new version of DF on top of an old version's directory -- this will cause things to break, usually in subtle and mysterious ways. Instead, you should either delete or rename the old '''df_linux''' directory first, before extracting the new version.<br />
<br />
==== Manually installing 32-bit libraries ====<br />
<br />
If you do need to manually install the libraries, then the first step is to figure out where you will be putting them. Check to see where your other 32-bit libraries are already installed; for example, on Debian, some are in /lib32 and others are in /usr/lib32. Since libSDL is in /usr/lib32 on a Debian system, that's where we'll want to put libSDL_image and libSDL_ttf. On other distributions, the path could be different.<br />
<br />
The second step is to get the 32-bit libraries. You can typically do this by downloading them directly from your distribution's 32-bit package repository. Again using Debian as our example, we can perform a search at http://packages.debian.org/ for files containing the word libSDL_image for the Intel x86 architecture. This takes us to [http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libSDL_image&mode=filename&suite=stable&arch=i386 a results page] from which we can proceed to [http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libsdl-image1.2 the libsdl-image1.2 package page] with a list of download links arranged by architecture. Grab the i386 package from here, and repeat this for the libSDL_ttf package, and whatever other library you are missing. Store these package files somewhere convenient.<br />
<br />
The third step is to extract the libraries from the packages and get them in the proper location. You probably ''won't'' be able simply to install the packages using your package manager, because they are for the wrong architecture. Instead, you'll probably have to extract them by hand. The steps for doing this are distribution-specific, so when in doubt consult your distribution's help resources. Here are the steps for a .deb package.<br />
<br />
* cd into some temporary working directory such as /tmp<br />
* Extract the files from the .deb archive, which is in ar(1) format:<br />
tar x /path/to/libsdl-image1.2*_i386.deb<br />
: This creates three files: debian-binary, control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz. We only care about data.tar.gz.<br />
* Extract data.tar.gz:<br />
tar xzf data.tar.gz<br />
: This creates a subdirectory named usr with various files inside it. We only care about usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.8.2 (or whatever precise version yours has).<br />
* Move the shared library into place:<br />
sudo mv usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.* /usr/lib32/<br />
* Create a symlink to it:<br />
cd /usr/lib32<br />
sudo ln -s libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.* libSDL_image-1.2.so.0<br />
cd -<br />
<br />
Repeat this for libSDL_ttf and whatever other libraries are required.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': If you get the error that libsndfile.so is not found, you must use the following:<br />
find */libsndfile.so*<br />
cd to the correct directory, then use ln as shown above.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== "Not found: /data/art/mouse.png" ====<br />
===== Fix 1: Preload zlib=====<br />
Due to incompatibilities between DF's included zlib and newer versions of zlib, libpng can fail on newer systems. A solution is to add this line to the beginning of <code>/your/path/df_linux/df</code> (or <code>/your/path/df_linux/dfhack</code> if you use [[DFHack]]):<br />
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libz.so.1<br />
Note that this path can vary - be sure that it is referring to a '''32-bit''' zlib.<br />
===== Fix 2: Use bmp instead =====<br />
Another solution (if preloading zlib doesn't work) is to force DF to use the BMP versions of image files. You must first edit the ''/data/init/init.txt'' file and change all occurrences of "png" to "bmp". This should solve all the error messages except for one: "''Not found: data/art/mouse.png''" since there is no setting in the init files to change it. The workaround for this is to edit the ''Dwarf_Fortress'' file found in the ''/your/path/df_linux/libs'' folder which contains the setting for the mouse cursor.<br />
If you don't know how to do that, you can try this:<br />
* cd to the ''/df_linux/libs'' folder<br />
* open ''Dwarf_Fortress'' in ''vi'' or any other editor of your choise:<br />
vi ./Dwarf_Fortress<br />
: This opens the file for editing (text mode). If you are not familiar with ''vi'', it would be a good idea to follow these steps exactly and not press any other keys since they all activate specific commands. If you do press a key though, you can press the ''ESC key'' a few times to cancel the command.<br />
* With vi open, write the following string and press ''Enter'':<br />
/mouse<br />
: This will search for all the strings that contain the word "mouse" and place the cursor on the first match. Pressing the ''n key'' will cycle through all the matches.<br />
* Press the ''n'' key until the cursor moves to the desired string, which is "''data/art/mouse.png''". If you accidentally move past the string, you can cycle back through the matched strings using the ''N key'' (shift + n).<br />
* Once you find the right string, you will have to move the cursor over the "p" in "[..]/mouse.<b>p</b>ng". You do that by pressing the ''l key'' which will move the cursor to the right. There is also the ''h key'' to move the cursor to the left, in case you move past it.<br />
* With the cursor in the right position press the following key sequence:<br />
xxxibmp<br />
: This will replace the ''.png'' extension with the ''.bmp'' one which solves the problem of the missing ''/data/art/mouse.png'' error.<br />
* All there is left to do is to save the modifications to the file and quit ''vi''. For that, press the ''ESC key'' once or twice and then press the following key sequence after which you press ''Enter'':<br />
:wq<br />
: This saves the changes and quits 'vi'<br />
<br />
Now the game should work properly. Have fun!<br />
<br />
==== libGL error ====<br />
<br />
''libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open i965''<br />
<br />
''libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast''<br />
<br />
This can be caused by incompatible libgcc_s.so.1<br />
<br />
===== Fix 1: change print mode =====<br />
<br />
* Go to /data/init/init.txt<br />
* Edit PRINT_MODE to be any of the 2D modes or TEXT instead of openGL-based modes like STANDARD, VBO or TWBT.<br />
<br />
===== Fix 2: change library =====<br />
<br />
* Open df_linux/libs folder<br />
* Rename libgcc_s.so.1 to libgcc_s.so.1.bak so that DF will be unable to find it and will default to system libraries.<br />
* If DF still doesn't launch, find and install suitable libgcc with your package manager.<br />
* If you have multiple libgccs, you may need to make a shortcut like with libopenal and libsndfile above.<br />
<br />
==FreeBSD==<br />
<br />
Although there is no official version ported to FreeBSD, ''Dwarf Fortress'' can nevertheless be run using either Wine or FreeBSD's compatibility with Linux. There is now an [https://www.freshports.org/games/linux-dwarffortress/ official port] and installing it can be done the following way (with ports):<br />
<br />
cd /usr/ports/games/linux-dwarffortress/ && make install clean<br />
<br />
or, with pkg:<br />
<br />
pkg install linux-dwarffortress<br />
<br />
You may also wish to download and run it manually. However, attempting to run the Linux version out of the blue will result in an error about missing library files. Such files must be downloaded from special linux-compatible packages or ports; using your preferred installation method, install the following:<br />
<br />
===linux-c6===<br />
sudo pkg install linux-c6-gtk2 linux-c6-sdl linux-c6-sdl_image linux-c6-sdl_ttf linux-c6-libGLU \<br />
linux-c6-openal-soft linux-c6-libsndfile linux-c6-alsa-plugins-oss<br />
<br />
===linux-f10===<br />
If you don't have the linux-c6 ports available in your system, you can still run ''Dwarf Fortress'' (albeit without sound) using the following packages:<br />
sudo pkg install linux-f10-alsa-lib linux-f10-atk linux-f10-cairo linux-f10-expat linux-f10-fontconfig \<br />
linux-f10-gtk2 linux-f10-jpeg linux-f10-pango linux-f10-png linux-f10-sdl linux-f10-sdl_image linux-f10-tiff \<br />
linux-f10-xorg-libs linux-sdl_ttf linux_base-f10 linux_dri linux-f10-libGLU<br />
linux_dri might be optional if you have the NVIDIA driver. Note that due to the lack of a linux-f10-libsndfile port, the sound will not work. Requests are being made to [http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2013-January/247698.html port] it, as well as a [https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178474 DF] port itself.<br />
<br />
<br />
After you install the required packages, copy (or symlink) DF's own library files to the linux-compatible directory:<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo cp libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
Or<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo ln -s libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
<br />
You can then run DF normally. Although it will likely display a bunch of warnings and errors about fonts, it should work.<br />
<br />
If you want to avoid polluting your linux-compatible directory, you can always just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running df:<br />
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./df<br />
<br />
== Chrome OS (Crostini) ==<br />
<br />
It is possible to add ''Dwarf Fortress'' to Chrome OS using the Linux (Beta), to add Linux to Chrome OS, [https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?p=chromebook_linuxapps check here to enable it]<br />
You will need to edit the sources list to include the "non-free" repository, this is done by adding "non-free" to the end of the main sources file found at /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
<br />
e.g.<br />
# Generated by distrobuilder<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main non-free<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main non-free<br />
Followed by running<br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
Then just follow the Debian instructions above<br />
<br />
== Android ==<br />
<br />
There is no Android version, but the Windows version can be run on it using ExaGear, Eltech's Windows emulator (which is essentially Wine for Android), as documented [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174983.0 here]. The app isn't free though.<br />
<br />
== iOS ==<br />
<br />
There is no iOS version, but you may remotely connect to a computer running DF through an app called [https://mifki.com/df/ Dwarf Fortress Remote]. This requires a special version of [[DFHack]] to be run on the target computer which you may download at the same time. It also provides a subscription where you connect to an already set up remote server.<br />

<br />
= Download =<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress Classic'' is freely available directly from the developers, Bay 12 Games, at http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ . Simply find the version that matches your operating system and click the link. You will be prompted to save an archive file, do so and follow the installation instructions bellow.<br />
<br />
: The three downloads linked at the top of the main page are 64-bit versions of DF for Windows, macOS, and Linux. "All versions" links to a page with additional choices, including 32-bit builds for all platforms, "small" builds for Windows (which lack sound files), and "legacy" builds for Windows. Generally, the SDL builds for Windows should be preferred, although the Legacy builds may be necessary on some older computers. <br />
<br />
''[[Dwarf Fortress|Dwarf Fortress Premium]]'' can be download and installed from [https://store.steampowered.com/app/975370/Dwarf_Fortress/ Steam] and [https://kitfoxgames.itch.io/dwarf-fortress itch.io] platforms like you would install any other game there. <br />
<br />
== Third-Party Packages ==<br />
<br />
{{main|Utility:Lazy Newb Pack}}<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
There is no installer for the game. Simply right-click the zip archive you downloaded and choose <code>Extract All...</code>, then choose a destination folder, and click <code>Extract</code> (or maybe <code>Unzip</code> or <code>Next</code> on older versions of Windows). By default Windows uses the name of the archive as the folder name, in the folder the archive is in, so something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\df_47_05_win</code>. You should change that to something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\Dwarf Fortress</code> or <code>C:\games\Dwarf Fortress</code>. After the files have been extracted, double-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file within the folder you chose to start the game.<br />
<br />
* Make sure to actually ''extract'' the archive; do not just double-click the archive and run the game from the window that appears. If you do this, then it may appear to work, but your save game data will get discarded - the cause of many "my saved games keep getting deleted" complaints. <br />
* The game needs to be able to write to its own folder, choose a game folder your user has write access to without requiring administrator rights for example: your <code>Downloads</code> folder, <code>Desktop</code>, or <code>C:\games\..</code>; do '''not''' install it in <code>C:\Program Files\..</code> if you are running Windows Vista or later.<br />
<br />
Troubleshooting: <br />
<br />
* If you have an error stating that MSVCP140.dll is missing, it can be obtained by downloading [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015]. When prompted choose the x64 version for 64-bit DF, or the x86 version for 32-bit DF.<br />
* If Windows is set to scale the display, you may need to disable that for DF. Right-click the ''Dwarf Fortress.exe'' icon, select '''Properties''', select the '''Compatibility''' tab, and then activate the '''Disable display scaling on high DPI settings''' (or '''Override high DPI scaling behavior, scaling performed by: Application''') check box.[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3025083/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices]<br />
<br />
Creating shortcuts:<br />
<br />
* Right-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file and choose any of <code>Pin to Start</code>, <code>Pin to taskbar</code>, or <code>Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)</code>. (The availability of these options may vary depending on the version of Windows.)<br />
<br />
== Mac ==<br />
<br />
The Mac version is not an application bundle. Like the Windows version, it consists of a folder containing the application and data files; there is no installer. The entire folder can be dragged into the Applications folder or placed elsewhere. As with the Windows version, the game must be able to write to its own folder.<br />
<br />
To start the game, execute the launch script "df". Launching "dwarfort.exe" by itself will ''not'' work (since the "df" script sets up [[wikipedia:environment variables|environment variables]] pointing to DF's libraries).<br />
<br />
There are alternative installation options, such as [[Utility:Lazy newb pack|pre-packaged bundles]] and [https://github.com/Bachsau/DF-Mac-Launcher this third-party app launcher], that may make the game easier to start and fix some of the issues listed below.<br />
<br />
=== Fixes for common issues ===<br />
<br />
Changing the ``PRINT_MODE`` setting in data/init/[[init.txt]] from ``2D`` to ``STANDARD`` is necessary on some systems, particularly macOS 11+ (see below) and machines with Retina displays {{bug|6031}}. Doing this on any macOS system can improve performance significantly {{bug|10052}}. Other values for this setting, like ``FRAME_BUFFER``, may also help.<br />
<br />
On macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and above, if you encounter gatekeeper security-related warnings that prevent DF from starting, one solution (from [https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/1465 here]) is to run the following command from the terminal in the folder containing <code>dwarfort.exe</code>:<br />
* <code>find . -print0 | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine</code><br />
<br />
On macOS 11 (Big Sur) and above, if you see a blank white window when starting the game, you will need to change ``[PRINT_MODE:2D]`` to ``[PRINT_MODE:STANDARD]`` in [[init.txt]]. {{bug|11680}}<br />
<br />
On case-sensitive filesystems, a freshly-installed version of the game will not launch. {{bug|11136}}<br />
* Rename "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/FreeType.framework" to "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/freetype.framework" to fix this.<br />
<br />
If you are using Parallels Desktop, you might need to change the file association for ``*.exe`` files to prevent the script from opening Parallels automatically. To do this:<br />
* Right click ``dwarfort.exe`` then click "Get Info"<br />
* Then click on "Open with:", select "Other..."<br />
* Then and select "Finder"<br />
* Change "Enable: Recommended Applications" to "Enabled: All Applications"<br />
* Select "Finder" and then click "Add"<br />
<br />
== Linux ==<br />
<br />
You may want to check if the package manager for the Linux distribution you are using has a ''Dwarf Fortress'' package. A package will get the correct build of DF for your system, handle all the dependencies and configuration, make any necessary system-specific fixes, probably add an entry to the system application launcher or menu, and handle updates. Note that in some cases, these packages can lag behind official DF releases, and they typically only support a single system-wide installation of DF. If you want a version of DF newer than what your package manager provides, or if you want a portable installation, follow the instructions in the rest of this section instead.<br />
<br />
As of 0.43.05, both 64-bit and 32-bit compiled builds of ''Dwarf Fortress'' are available for Linux. Note, to get the 32-bit edition, click the All Versions button on the ''Dwarf Fortress'' download page. Older 32-bit only versions can possibly run on a 64-bit system if the system has the required (32-bit) shared libraries, see below.<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' for Linux is expected to be run from a terminal (command-line) interface, and so the instructions here will assume you know how to log in and get to a command prompt. By default, however, ''Dwarf Fortress'' is a graphical desktop program (an X client), so you should be in a terminal emulator (inside an X session) before starting the game. (See [[Installation#TEXT mode]] for an alternative.) ''Dwarf Fortress'' will create a new window outside of the terminal window by default, so don't worry about the size of the terminal.<br />
<br />
When you installed Linux, you chose either a 32-bit (i386, x86) or 64-bit (amd64, x86_64) architecture. Some systems are able to run programs for either, but it is best to use a version of DF compiled for the same architecture. If you've forgotten which one you have, you can check by running the command <code>uname -m</code> in a terminal. A result of <code>x86_64</code> and <code>i686</code> would indicate 64-bit or 32-bit respectively.<br />
<br />
'''Downloading''': Either download it from the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ Dwarf Fortress Homepage] with a web browser, or with one of these terminal commands, replacing "XX_YY" with the numbers in the desired ''Dwarf Fortress'' file version, found on the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ site]:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
or, for the 32-bit version:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux32.tar.bz2<br />
<br />
'''Unpacking''': ''Dwarf Fortress'' is shipped as a (bzip2) compressed tar archive. It will extract into a new directory called '''df_linux'''. So, <code>cd</code> to wherever you want the game to be unpacked, perhaps <code>~/games</code>, and then run<br />
tar -xjf /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
where /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2 is the path and filename of the actual file you downloaded.<br />
<br />
(note: <code>tar -xjvf ./df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2</code> may be needed in some cases. [what cases? all this does is add verbosity and assume the file is in the current dir])<br />
<br />
'''Running''': First, change to the new directory<br />
cd df_linux<br />
then execute the launcher script.<br />
./df<br />
<br />
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. Specific installation commands for some distributions are in the sections below. 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.<br />
<br />
If you see any errors related to libstdc++ when starting DF (for example, "version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found"), try removing libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 from the "libs" folder. This will cause DF to use the system version of these libraries, which are more up-to-date on many modern systems than the libraries that DF includes.<br />
<br />
Since ''Dwarf Fortress'' 0.43.05 and later are compiled for both architectures, running natively shouldn't be an issue. However if you're wanting to run an older version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit system, things get a bit trickier. Since older DF is only a 32-bit application, it will need 32-bit versions of the shared libraries. Some Linux distributions provide these in one or more packages that you can download. For example, in Debian, you'll need to enable the 32bit architecture in your package manager and install the relevant 32-bit libraries like libSDL. If your distribution does not include these, then you may have to supply them manually. Though, at that point it may just be easier to run the old windows version of DF in Wine.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Debian-based ===<br />
<br />
Installing the dependencies for ''Dwarf Fortress'' is simple, but varies slightly depending on whether you're running a 32-bit OS, a 64-bit OS, or a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit OS.<br />
<br />
==== 64-bit (recent version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', most modern machines) ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
This will install the SDL image and font libraries necessary, as well as libopenal and libsndfile, which are needed to get the sound working. It will also install libncursesw5, which is needed if you want to run ''Dwarf Fortress'' in ''TEXT'' mode.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
In some old versions, ''Dwarf Fortress'' does not quite look in the correct place for the sound libraries it needs to play the wonderful music. This is easily fixed.<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== Running 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' on 64-bit Debian ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
If you're trying to run a version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' older than 0.43.05, you'll need to install the 32-bit versions of the libraries. You can do this with:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br />
$ sudo apt-get update<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libopenal1:i386 libsndfile1:i386 libncursesw5:i386<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Almost the same as above, but the libraries will be in a different location as you're looking for the 32-bit versions:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Just as above sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== 32-bit ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
As above, this will install the SDL image and font libraries, sound libraries, and text libraries.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== Standard package ====<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is also available as a package in the (non-free) Debian repositories. You can install it (with all dependencies) with a simple<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Fedora ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' has been packaged in [https://rpmfusion.org/ RPM Fusion Nonfree], using a similar method as it is done in Arch Linux (see below). After [https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration installing RPM Fusion] you can simply run the following commands to install and run ''Dwarf Fortress'', which will pull in all the required dependencies:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install dwarffortress<br />
$ dwarffortress<br />
<br />
The Fedora package is configured to use <code>~/.dwarffortress</code> for per user configuration. Most importantly, your saves and configuration files are in the <code>~/.dwarffortress/data</code> folder. <br />
<br />
Some other tools are provided by the same packager in the [https://mars.arosser.com/fedora/dwarffortress/dwarffortress.repo "Dwarf Fortress for Fedora"] repository. For more information please [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158289.msg7009116#msg7009116 see this forum thread].<br />
<br />
If you want to install 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' manually, you can run the following:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf gtk2-devel openal-soft alsa-lib alsa-plugins-pulseaudio mesa-dri-drivers<br />
<br />
On 64-bit Fedora installations, to install 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' you can install 32-bit libraries by appending ".i686" to the package name:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL.i686 SDL_image.i686 SDL_ttf.i686 gtk2-devel.i686 openal-soft.i686 alsa-lib.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 mesa-dri-drivers.i686<br />
<br />
Fedora installs all 32-bit libraries to /usr/lib and 64-bit libraries to /usr/lib64 (with /lib and /lib64 being links to these two directories), so if you need to install stuff manually, look in there.<br />
<br />
=== Arch Linux ===<br />
A 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' package is available in the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#community community repository]. There are also [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=dwarffortress other packages] available in the Arch User Repository ([https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository AUR]).<br />
<br />
==== Official package installation ====<br />
Install the official package like any other<br />
# pacman -Syu dwarffortress<br />
Any required dependencies will be installed, too.<br />
<br />
You can then launch ''Dwarf Fortress'' by running 'dwarffortress' in your terminal emulator. The package also includes a .desktop file so the game should appear in whatever application launcher or menu you might use.<br />
<br />
The first time a user launches the game, the directory .dwarffortress will be created in that user's home directory. Game settings and files can be changed there. Note that some of the directories in there are links to common directories and changes to them will effect all users. Also, any changes to common files should be backed up since they will be overwritten when the package updates. You can find the locations of files installed by the package with the command<br />
$ pacman -Ql dwarffortress<br />
<br />
If you use tools like dfhack you might want to [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Skip_package_from_being_upgraded configure pacman to not update] ''Dwarf Fortress'' until the tools are updated.<br />
<br />
==== AUR package installation ====<br />
Install an AUR package [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages manually] or using an [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers AUR helper]. The different AUR packages may or may not install the game similarly to the official package - use the previous pacman command to check game file locations.<br />
<br />
==== Manual or multiple installations ====<br />
You can also manually install ''Dwarf Fortress'' in case you want to try other versions or with and without mods. Just follow the generic Linux instructions above with a different directory for each install. If you've installed one of the above packages, all the dependencies should already be installed, except maybe GTK2. The package in the official repositories patches ``libgraphics.so`` to remove the GTK2 dependency. If you get an error that ``libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0`` cannot be opened, you can either use the ``libgraphics.so`` from the official package, by copying it to the ``libs`` folder in the new install or linking to it from there, or install GTK2.<br />
<br />
To launch this version: in a terminal emulator, ``cd`` to that directory, and run ``./df``. If you get a permission error, you may need to mark the script and executable as being executable with:<br />
$ chmod u+x df libs/Dwarf_Fortress<br />
Once you get an install working you can create a [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries custom .desktop file] to launch it.<br />
<br />
If you want to install a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you will have to enable the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#multilib multilib repository], install the 32-bit system libraries, and install the 32-bit game dependencies manually (check the Arch wiki for more information).<br />
<br />
=== CentOS 7 ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is now 64-bit, so simply run:<br />
<br />
sudo yum install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf openal<br />
<br />
Note that CentOS 7 ships with glibc 2.17, but ''Dwarf Fortress'' by default would like 2.18. [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9893 This bug] has a fix, simply copy the [http://pastebin.com/jX4Wf062 Pastebin script], then move the libraries into a new folder.<br />
<br />
cd df_linux<br />
curl -L http://pastebin.com/raw/jX4Wf062 > df<br />
mkdir c_libs<br />
mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 c_libs/<br />
chmod a+x df<br />
<br />
Then run it!<br />
./df<br />
<br />
=== Gentoo ===<br />
<br />
There is a ''Dwarf Fortress'' [https://packages.gentoo.org/package/games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress ebuild] in the main Gentoo's portage tree compatible with the new multilib support.<br />
<br />
# emerge -av games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Solus ===<br />
<br />
Download ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay 12 Games website. If you encounter the following error upon launch:<br />
<br />
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br />
<br />
then simply run the following command to install the missing libraries:<br />
<br />
sudo eopkg install sdl-ttf<br />
<br />
If you are running a 32bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', simply replace <code>sdl-ttf</code> with <code>sdl-ttf-32bit</code> in the above command. You're all set!<br />
<br />
=== OpenSuse Tumbleweed ===<br />
These instructions should work for OpenSuse Leap as well, they just haven't been tested yet.<br />
==== Dependencies ====<br />
$ sudo zypper in libGLU1 libSDL_image-1_2-0 libSDL_ttf-2_0-0<br />
==== Remove the included c++ library ====<br />
The included library isn't compatible with OpenSuse's <code>libGLU1</code> package<br />
$ cd path/to/df_linux/libs<br />
$ rm libstdc++.so.6<br />
<br />
cd back to df_linux/ and run the game!<br />
$ cd ../<br />
$ ./df<br />
=== Wine ===<br />
Downloading the windows version and running it with Wine works fine ([https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=32503 platinum] on 1.7.47 as of .4x.xx, which means the program runs flawlessly without any initial user configuration). This also avoids any issues with 32-bit versus 64-bit mode.<br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting ===<br />
If you get errors, it is likely that others will have had the same problem; Try searching the bay12games forum with the error message.<br />
==== Sound ====<br />
<br />
After installing, DF will run, but will complain that it cannot find the OpenAL library and cannot play sounds, even when OpenAL (i386) has been installed. This is due to a bug/feature in which there is no link from the name of the library that DF is looking for ("libopenal.so") to its implementation ("libopenal.so.1" - technically another link). To fix this, simply provide the necessary links in DF's own ''libs'' directory:<br />
<br />
$ cd df_linux/libs<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 ./libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 ./libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== TEXT mode ====<br />
In this mode - which can be activated in [[init.txt]] - DF uses a terminal as its display, much like classic roguelikes such as Rogue, Moria, and Nethack originally did. There are some caveats for using this mode.<br />
<br />
Some key combinations in the default DF configuration will not work. These can be changed in game by pressing {{k|ESC}} then choosing the Key Bindings option or out of the game by editing the [[interface.txt]] file. This is due to the way terminal emulators handle input, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses ncurses] library, and the way DF interfaces with them.{{bug|5494}} Some examples are the keypad keys with modifiers or {{k|Shift+Enter}}.<br />
<br />
DF uses the CP437 [[Character_table|character set]] and TEXT mode translates those to UTF-8. Characters will only be displayed correctly if the font the terminal emulator is using has glyphs for all of the set. A UTF-8 encoded text file to test glyph coverage can be found [http://www.orenwatson.be/cp437.htm here]. Download the text file, view it in the terminal (using more, less, cat, etc.), and check if the font the terminal is using includes all the characters shown on the HTML version. Some terminals may be configured to use a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallback_font fallback font] if the main one lacks a glyph - that may result in different sized glyphs being used.<br />
<br />
There is a [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59983.0 utility] to convert a DF [[tileset]] to a TTF file. That thread also has downloads for some already converted sets. This does not work for graphics sets. This is one way to get a square font that includes all the characters. [https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/ksquare.shtml Kreative Square] is another though it has many more glyphs than are needed.<br />
<br />
DF's [[colors.txt]] file will have no effect. However, many terminal emulators have settings to change the colors they display. See the terminal emulator's man page for details. Note that the order of the [[Color#Color_values|colors]] is different - the position of the blues and reds are switched as are the cyans and brown/yellow. So, when copying DF color schemes into terminal emulator settings, be sure to change them to the correct order or you'll get yellow "sky", red water, and blue blood.<br />
<br />
Many terminal emulators have a setting to treat bright colored text as bold instead. This will cause dark grey text to be "displayed" as bold, black text - usually on a black background - making it unreadable. See the terminal emulator's man page for an option to disable this behavior. (Note that LXTerminal's disallowbold option does not currently seem to work.)<br />
<br />
If the [[intro movie]] is enabled, DF will not use the full terminal size unless it receives a resize event. If the intro movie is disabled, DF will use the full size from the start. Note, however, that some DF screens do not use the full size of the window under any circumstance.<br />
<br />
==== Upgrading ====<br />
<br />
Since every new version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' unpacks in a directory named '''df_linux''' you have to manage upgrades yourself - or use the [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9639 Linux Updater Script]. As on all systems, you should '''not''' unpack a new version of DF on top of an old version's directory -- this will cause things to break, usually in subtle and mysterious ways. Instead, you should either delete or rename the old '''df_linux''' directory first, before extracting the new version.<br />
<br />
==== Manually installing 32-bit libraries ====<br />
<br />
If you do need to manually install the libraries, then the first step is to figure out where you will be putting them. Check to see where your other 32-bit libraries are already installed; for example, on Debian, some are in /lib32 and others are in /usr/lib32. Since libSDL is in /usr/lib32 on a Debian system, that's where we'll want to put libSDL_image and libSDL_ttf. On other distributions, the path could be different.<br />
<br />
The second step is to get the 32-bit libraries. You can typically do this by downloading them directly from your distribution's 32-bit package repository. Again using Debian as our example, we can perform a search at http://packages.debian.org/ for files containing the word libSDL_image for the Intel x86 architecture. This takes us to [http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libSDL_image&mode=filename&suite=stable&arch=i386 a results page] from which we can proceed to [http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libsdl-image1.2 the libsdl-image1.2 package page] with a list of download links arranged by architecture. Grab the i386 package from here, and repeat this for the libSDL_ttf package, and whatever other library you are missing. Store these package files somewhere convenient.<br />
<br />
The third step is to extract the libraries from the packages and get them in the proper location. You probably ''won't'' be able simply to install the packages using your package manager, because they are for the wrong architecture. Instead, you'll probably have to extract them by hand. The steps for doing this are distribution-specific, so when in doubt consult your distribution's help resources. Here are the steps for a .deb package.<br />
<br />
* cd into some temporary working directory such as /tmp<br />
* Extract the files from the .deb archive, which is in ar(1) format:<br />
tar x /path/to/libsdl-image1.2*_i386.deb<br />
: This creates three files: debian-binary, control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz. We only care about data.tar.gz.<br />
* Extract data.tar.gz:<br />
tar xzf data.tar.gz<br />
: This creates a subdirectory named usr with various files inside it. We only care about usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.8.2 (or whatever precise version yours has).<br />
* Move the shared library into place:<br />
sudo mv usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.* /usr/lib32/<br />
* Create a symlink to it:<br />
cd /usr/lib32<br />
sudo ln -s libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.* libSDL_image-1.2.so.0<br />
cd -<br />
<br />
Repeat this for libSDL_ttf and whatever other libraries are required.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': If you get the error that libsndfile.so is not found, you must use the following:<br />
find */libsndfile.so*<br />
cd to the correct directory, then use ln as shown above.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== "Not found: /data/art/mouse.png" ====<br />
===== Fix 1: Preload zlib=====<br />
Due to incompatibilities between DF's included zlib and newer versions of zlib, libpng can fail on newer systems. A solution is to add this line to the beginning of <code>/your/path/df_linux/df</code> (or <code>/your/path/df_linux/dfhack</code> if you use [[DFHack]]):<br />
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libz.so.1<br />
Note that this path can vary - be sure that it is referring to a '''32-bit''' zlib.<br />
===== Fix 2: Use bmp instead =====<br />
Another solution (if preloading zlib doesn't work) is to force DF to use the BMP versions of image files. You must first edit the ''/data/init/init.txt'' file and change all occurrences of "png" to "bmp". This should solve all the error messages except for one: "''Not found: data/art/mouse.png''" since there is no setting in the init files to change it. The workaround for this is to edit the ''Dwarf_Fortress'' file found in the ''/your/path/df_linux/libs'' folder which contains the setting for the mouse cursor.<br />
If you don't know how to do that, you can try this:<br />
* cd to the ''/df_linux/libs'' folder<br />
* open ''Dwarf_Fortress'' in ''vi'' or any other editor of your choise:<br />
vi ./Dwarf_Fortress<br />
: This opens the file for editing (text mode). If you are not familiar with ''vi'', it would be a good idea to follow these steps exactly and not press any other keys since they all activate specific commands. If you do press a key though, you can press the ''ESC key'' a few times to cancel the command.<br />
* With vi open, write the following string and press ''Enter'':<br />
/mouse<br />
: This will search for all the strings that contain the word "mouse" and place the cursor on the first match. Pressing the ''n key'' will cycle through all the matches.<br />
* Press the ''n'' key until the cursor moves to the desired string, which is "''data/art/mouse.png''". If you accidentally move past the string, you can cycle back through the matched strings using the ''N key'' (shift + n).<br />
* Once you find the right string, you will have to move the cursor over the "p" in "[..]/mouse.<b>p</b>ng". You do that by pressing the ''l key'' which will move the cursor to the right. There is also the ''h key'' to move the cursor to the left, in case you move past it.<br />
* With the cursor in the right position press the following key sequence:<br />
xxxibmp<br />
: This will replace the ''.png'' extension with the ''.bmp'' one which solves the problem of the missing ''/data/art/mouse.png'' error.<br />
* All there is left to do is to save the modifications to the file and quit ''vi''. For that, press the ''ESC key'' once or twice and then press the following key sequence after which you press ''Enter'':<br />
:wq<br />
: This saves the changes and quits 'vi'<br />
<br />
Now the game should work properly. Have fun!<br />
<br />
==== libGL error ====<br />
<br />
''libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open i965''<br />
<br />
''libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast''<br />
<br />
This can be caused by incompatible libgcc_s.so.1<br />
<br />
===== Fix 1: change print mode =====<br />
<br />
* Go to /data/init/init.txt<br />
* Edit PRINT_MODE to be any of the 2D modes or TEXT instead of openGL-based modes like STANDARD, VBO or TWBT.<br />
<br />
===== Fix 2: change library =====<br />
<br />
* Open df_linux/libs folder<br />
* Rename libgcc_s.so.1 to libgcc_s.so.1.bak so that DF will be unable to find it and will default to system libraries.<br />
* If DF still doesn't launch, find and install suitable libgcc with your package manager.<br />
* If you have multiple libgccs, you may need to make a shortcut like with libopenal and libsndfile above.<br />
<br />
==FreeBSD==<br />
<br />
Although there is no official version ported to FreeBSD, ''Dwarf Fortress'' can nevertheless be run using either Wine or FreeBSD's compatibility with Linux. There is now an [https://www.freshports.org/games/linux-dwarffortress/ official port] and installing it can be done the following way (with ports):<br />
<br />
cd /usr/ports/games/linux-dwarffortress/ && make install clean<br />
<br />
or, with pkg:<br />
<br />
pkg install linux-dwarffortress<br />
<br />
You may also wish to download and run it manually. However, attempting to run the Linux version out of the blue will result in an error about missing library files. Such files must be downloaded from special linux-compatible packages or ports; using your preferred installation method, install the following:<br />
<br />
===linux-c6===<br />
sudo pkg install linux-c6-gtk2 linux-c6-sdl linux-c6-sdl_image linux-c6-sdl_ttf linux-c6-libGLU \<br />
linux-c6-openal-soft linux-c6-libsndfile linux-c6-alsa-plugins-oss<br />
<br />
===linux-f10===<br />
If you don't have the linux-c6 ports available in your system, you can still run ''Dwarf Fortress'' (albeit without sound) using the following packages:<br />
sudo pkg install linux-f10-alsa-lib linux-f10-atk linux-f10-cairo linux-f10-expat linux-f10-fontconfig \<br />
linux-f10-gtk2 linux-f10-jpeg linux-f10-pango linux-f10-png linux-f10-sdl linux-f10-sdl_image linux-f10-tiff \<br />
linux-f10-xorg-libs linux-sdl_ttf linux_base-f10 linux_dri linux-f10-libGLU<br />
linux_dri might be optional if you have the NVIDIA driver. Note that due to the lack of a linux-f10-libsndfile port, the sound will not work. Requests are being made to [http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2013-January/247698.html port] it, as well as a [https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178474 DF] port itself.<br />
<br />
<br />
After you install the required packages, copy (or symlink) DF's own library files to the linux-compatible directory:<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo cp libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
Or<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo ln -s libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
<br />
You can then run DF normally. Although it will likely display a bunch of warnings and errors about fonts, it should work.<br />
<br />
If you want to avoid polluting your linux-compatible directory, you can always just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running df:<br />
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./df<br />
<br />
=== SteamOS / Steam Deck ===<br />
<br />
SteamOS is an Arch Linux-based Linux distribution that comes preinstalled on the Steam Deck.<br />
<br />
The latest version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' is available on the Steam Store and runs on most Linux distributions without much difficulty. It is also Steam Deck compatible. You can also download older versions of ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay12 Games and install them directly on the Steam Deck.<br />
<br />
==== Non-Steam Install ====<br />
<br />
To install and run a non-Steam version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you first need to switch to ''Desktop Mod'' on your Steam Deck by selecting ''Steam'' > ''Power'' > ''Switch to Desktop''. We are going to assume that you have a working keyboard for everything at this point.<br />
<br />
If you've already installed Firefox or some other browser then go to the site and download the Linux version. Otherwise, open the Konsole terminal emulator and use the following commands (or something like it):<br />
<br />
$ mkdir Apps; cd Apps # Create a folder for our downloaded games and apps<br />
$ wget https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2 # we want 47.05 :)<br />
$ bunzip2 df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2 # Unzip the file<br />
$ tar xvf df_47_05_linux.tar # Extract the files<br />
$ mv df_linux DwarfFortress # Give it a friendly name<br />
$ cd DwarfFortress # Change directory<br />
$ mkdir -p libs/old # Create a dir for some old files<br />
$ mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 libs/old # Stash these old libraries<br />
<br />
==== Application Launcher Configuration ====<br />
<br />
At this point we're ready to configure our Launcher. Open the Steam client and choose ''Add a Game'' > ''Add a Non-Steam Game ...'' from the bottom left. Then ''Browse'' to open a file selection menu and browse to the ''df'' executable in the <code>~/Apps/DwarfFortress</code> folder. You will need to change the filter to ''All Files''. After that choose ''Add Selected Programs''. You should now have a new Steam Game called ''df'' in your Game Library.<br />
<br />
Let's clean that up that name. Choose the ''df'' game and select its ''Settings'' icon and choose ''Properties''. Rename it something like ''Dwarf Fortress Legacy''. Next we need to tell Steam to run the game with its older runtime. Click the ''Compatability'' tab and choose ''Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatability tool'' then choose ''Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (Scout)''.<br />
<br />
That's it! You should now have a nicely running version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on your Steam Deck. At this point you can switch back to Gaming Mode and everything should work. But, there are a couple quality-of-life settings you might want to do first.<br />
<br />
==== Extra Settings ====<br />
<br />
You probably want to update the Controller settings for the game. By default it will choose ''Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad'' so you want to change that to something like ''Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse''.<br />
<br />
Next, you should edit the <code>~/Apps/DwarfFortress/data/init/init.txt</code> file and force fullscreen on startup. You can also download a nice [[Tileset]] (16x16 seems to work pretty well). But for now you can run these commands in your <Code>DwarfFortress</code> folder and it will update the screen and use the default <code>curses_square_16x16.png</code> tileset.<br />
<br />
$ cd data/init # Go to init folder<br />
$ cp init.txt init.txt.orig # Make a backup!<br />
$ sed -i 's/WINDOWED:YES/WINDOWED:NO/g' init.txt # Go fullscreen (1280x800)<br />
$ sed -i 's/curses_800x600.png/curses_square_16x16.png/g` init.txt # Better font<br />
<br />
Obviously there are lots of additional Dwarf Fortress and Steam Deck configurations but this should get you started.<br />
<br />
== Chrome OS (Crostini) ==<br />
<br />
It is possible to add ''Dwarf Fortress'' to Chrome OS using the Linux (Beta), to add Linux to Chrome OS, [https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?p=chromebook_linuxapps check here to enable it]<br />
You will need to edit the sources list to include the "non-free" repository, this is done by adding "non-free" to the end of the main sources file found at /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
<br />
e.g.<br />
# Generated by distrobuilder<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main non-free<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main non-free<br />
Followed by running<br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
Then just follow the Debian instructions above<br />
<br />
== Android ==<br />
<br />
There is no Android version, but the Windows version can be run on it using ExaGear, Eltech's Windows emulator (which is essentially Wine for Android), as documented [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174983.0 here]. The app isn't free though.<br />
<br />
== iOS ==<br />
<br />
There is no iOS version, but you may remotely connect to a computer running DF through an app called [https://mifki.com/df/ Dwarf Fortress Remote]. This requires a special version of [[DFHack]] to be run on the target computer which you may download at the same time. It also provides a subscription where you connect to an already set up remote server.<br />

In order to install [[Dwarf Fortress]], simply download the latest version, extract its contents, and play. <br />
{{quick download|{{current/version/ns}}}}<br />
<br />
= Download =<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress Classic'' is freely available directly from the developers, Bay 12 Games, at http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ . Simply find the version that matches your operating system and click the link. You will be prompted to save an archive file, do so and follow the installation instructions bellow.<br />
<br />
: The three downloads linked at the top of the main page are 64-bit versions of DF for Windows, macOS, and Linux. "All versions" links to a page with additional choices, including 32-bit builds for all platforms, "small" builds for Windows (which lack sound files), and "legacy" builds for Windows. Generally, the SDL builds for Windows should be preferred, although the Legacy builds may be necessary on some older computers. <br />
<br />
''[[Dwarf Fortress|Dwarf Fortress Premium]]'' can be download and installed from [https://store.steampowered.com/app/975370/Dwarf_Fortress/ Steam] and [https://kitfoxgames.itch.io/dwarf-fortress itch.io] platforms like you would install any other game there. <br />
<br />
== Third-Party Packages ==<br />
<br />
{{main|Utility:Lazy Newb Pack}}<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
= Installation =<br />
:''Also see: [[System requirements]]''<br />
<br />
== Windows ==<br />
<br />
There is no installer for the game. Simply right-click the zip archive you downloaded and choose <code>Extract All...</code>, then choose a destination folder, and click <code>Extract</code> (or maybe <code>Unzip</code> or <code>Next</code> on older versions of Windows). By default Windows uses the name of the archive as the folder name, in the folder the archive is in, so something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\df_47_05_win</code>. You should change that to something like <code>C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\Dwarf Fortress</code> or <code>C:\games\Dwarf Fortress</code>. After the files have been extracted, double-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file within the folder you chose to start the game.<br />
<br />
* Make sure to actually ''extract'' the archive; do not just double-click the archive and run the game from the window that appears. If you do this, then it may appear to work, but your save game data will get discarded - the cause of many "my saved games keep getting deleted" complaints. <br />
* The game needs to be able to write to its own folder, choose a game folder your user has write access to without requiring administrator rights for example: your <code>Downloads</code> folder, <code>Desktop</code>, or <code>C:\games\..</code>; do '''not''' install it in <code>C:\Program Files\..</code> if you are running Windows Vista or later.<br />
<br />
Troubleshooting: <br />
<br />
* If you have an error stating that MSVCP140.dll is missing, it can be obtained by downloading [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015]. When prompted choose the x64 version for 64-bit DF, or the x86 version for 32-bit DF.<br />
* If Windows is set to scale the display, you may need to disable that for DF. Right-click the ''Dwarf Fortress.exe'' icon, select '''Properties''', select the '''Compatibility''' tab, and then activate the '''Disable display scaling on high DPI settings''' (or '''Override high DPI scaling behavior, scaling performed by: Application''') check box.[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3025083/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices]<br />
<br />
Creating shortcuts:<br />
<br />
* Right-click the <code>Dwarf Fortress.exe</code> file and choose any of <code>Pin to Start</code>, <code>Pin to taskbar</code>, or <code>Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)</code>. (The availability of these options may vary depending on the version of Windows.)<br />
<br />
== Mac ==<br />
<br />
The Mac version is not an application bundle. Like the Windows version, it consists of a folder containing the application and data files; there is no installer. The entire folder can be dragged into the Applications folder or placed elsewhere. As with the Windows version, the game must be able to write to its own folder.<br />
<br />
To start the game, execute the launch script "df". Launching "dwarfort.exe" by itself will ''not'' work (since the "df" script sets up [[wikipedia:environment variables|environment variables]] pointing to DF's libraries).<br />
<br />
There are alternative installation options, such as [[Utility:Lazy newb pack|pre-packaged bundles]] and [https://github.com/Bachsau/DF-Mac-Launcher this third-party app launcher], that may make the game easier to start and fix some of the issues listed below.<br />
<br />
=== Fixes for common issues ===<br />
<br />
Changing the ``PRINT_MODE`` setting in data/init/[[init.txt]] from ``2D`` to ``STANDARD`` is necessary on some systems, particularly macOS 11+ (see below) and machines with Retina displays {{bug|6031}}. Doing this on any macOS system can improve performance significantly {{bug|10052}}. Other values for this setting, like ``FRAME_BUFFER``, may also help.<br />
<br />
On macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and above, if you encounter gatekeeper security-related warnings that prevent DF from starting, one solution (from [https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/1465 here]) is to run the following command from the terminal in the folder containing <code>dwarfort.exe</code>:<br />
* <code>find . -print0 | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine</code><br />
<br />
On macOS 11 (Big Sur) and above, if you see a blank white window when starting the game, you will need to change ``[PRINT_MODE:2D]`` to ``[PRINT_MODE:STANDARD]`` in [[init.txt]]. {{bug|11680}}<br />
<br />
On case-sensitive filesystems, a freshly-installed version of the game will not launch. {{bug|11136}}<br />
* Rename "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/FreeType.framework" to "libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/freetype.framework" to fix this.<br />
<br />
If you are using Parallels Desktop, you might need to change the file association for ``*.exe`` files to prevent the script from opening Parallels automatically. To do this:<br />
* Right click ``dwarfort.exe`` then click "Get Info"<br />
* Then click on "Open with:", select "Other..."<br />
* Then and select "Finder"<br />
* Change "Enable: Recommended Applications" to "Enabled: All Applications"<br />
* Select "Finder" and then click "Add"<br />
<br />
== Linux ==<br />
<br />
You may want to check if the package manager for the Linux distribution you are using has a ''Dwarf Fortress'' package. A package will get the correct build of DF for your system, handle all the dependencies and configuration, make any necessary system-specific fixes, probably add an entry to the system application launcher or menu, and handle updates. Note that in some cases, these packages can lag behind official DF releases, and they typically only support a single system-wide installation of DF. If you want a version of DF newer than what your package manager provides, or if you want a portable installation, follow the instructions in the rest of this section instead.<br />
<br />
As of 0.43.05, both 64-bit and 32-bit compiled builds of ''Dwarf Fortress'' are available for Linux. Note, to get the 32-bit edition, click the All Versions button on the ''Dwarf Fortress'' download page. Older 32-bit only versions can possibly run on a 64-bit system if the system has the required (32-bit) shared libraries, see below.<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' for Linux is expected to be run from a terminal (command-line) interface, and so the instructions here will assume you know how to log in and get to a command prompt. By default, however, ''Dwarf Fortress'' is a graphical desktop program (an X client), so you should be in a terminal emulator (inside an X session) before starting the game. (See [[Installation#TEXT mode]] for an alternative.) ''Dwarf Fortress'' will create a new window outside of the terminal window by default, so don't worry about the size of the terminal.<br />
<br />
When you installed Linux, you chose either a 32-bit (i386, x86) or 64-bit (amd64, x86_64) architecture. Some systems are able to run programs for either, but it is best to use a version of DF compiled for the same architecture. If you've forgotten which one you have, you can check by running the command <code>uname -m</code> in a terminal. A result of <code>x86_64</code> and <code>i686</code> would indicate 64-bit or 32-bit respectively.<br />
<br />
'''Downloading''': Either download it from the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ Dwarf Fortress Homepage] with a web browser, or with one of these terminal commands, replacing "XX_YY" with the numbers in the desired ''Dwarf Fortress'' file version, found on the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ site]:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
or, for the 32-bit version:<br />
wget http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_XX_YY_linux32.tar.bz2<br />
<br />
'''Unpacking''': ''Dwarf Fortress'' is shipped as a (bzip2) compressed tar archive. It will extract into a new directory called '''df_linux'''. So, <code>cd</code> to wherever you want the game to be unpacked, perhaps <code>~/games</code>, and then run<br />
tar -xjf /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2<br />
where /path/to/df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2 is the path and filename of the actual file you downloaded.<br />
<br />
(note: <code>tar -xjvf ./df_XX_YY_linux.tar.bz2</code> may be needed in some cases. [what cases? all this does is add verbosity and assume the file is in the current dir])<br />
<br />
'''Running''': First, change to the new directory<br />
cd df_linux<br />
then execute the launcher script.<br />
./df<br />
<br />
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. Specific installation commands for some distributions are in the sections below. 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.<br />
<br />
If you see any errors related to libstdc++ when starting DF (for example, "version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found"), try removing libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 from the "libs" folder. This will cause DF to use the system version of these libraries, which are more up-to-date on many modern systems than the libraries that DF includes.<br />
<br />
Since ''Dwarf Fortress'' 0.43.05 and later are compiled for both architectures, running natively shouldn't be an issue. However if you're wanting to run an older version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit system, things get a bit trickier. Since older DF is only a 32-bit application, it will need 32-bit versions of the shared libraries. Some Linux distributions provide these in one or more packages that you can download. For example, in Debian, you'll need to enable the 32bit architecture in your package manager and install the relevant 32-bit libraries like libSDL. If your distribution does not include these, then you may have to supply them manually. Though, at that point it may just be easier to run the old windows version of DF in Wine.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Debian-based ===<br />
<br />
Installing the dependencies for ''Dwarf Fortress'' is simple, but varies slightly depending on whether you're running a 32-bit OS, a 64-bit OS, or a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on a 64-bit OS.<br />
<br />
==== 64-bit (recent version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', most modern machines) ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
This will install the SDL image and font libraries necessary, as well as libopenal and libsndfile, which are needed to get the sound working. It will also install libncursesw5, which is needed if you want to run ''Dwarf Fortress'' in ''TEXT'' mode.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
In some old versions, ''Dwarf Fortress'' does not quite look in the correct place for the sound libraries it needs to play the wonderful music. This is easily fixed.<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== Running 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' on 64-bit Debian ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
If you're trying to run a version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' older than 0.43.05, you'll need to install the 32-bit versions of the libraries. You can do this with:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br />
$ sudo apt-get update<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libopenal1:i386 libsndfile1:i386 libncursesw5:i386<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Almost the same as above, but the libraries will be in a different location as you're looking for the 32-bit versions:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
Just as above sometimes OpenAL uses PulseAudio instead of ALSA as the output device breaking the sound.<br />
<br />
$ sudo echo "drivers = alsa," > .alsoftrc<br />
<br />
==== 32-bit ====<br />
<br />
===== Install dependencies =====<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libncursesw5<br />
<br />
As above, this will install the SDL image and font libraries, sound libraries, and text libraries.<br />
<br />
===== Fix sound issues =====<br />
<br />
Switch to the ''Dwarf Fortress'' folder and add some symlinks to the correct location:<br />
<br />
$ cd ~/df_linux # or other location, depending on where you installed ''Dwarf Fortress''<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 libs/libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1 libs/libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== Standard package ====<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is also available as a package in the (non-free) Debian repositories. You can install it (with all dependencies) with a simple<br />
<br />
$ sudo apt-get install dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Fedora ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' has been packaged in [https://rpmfusion.org/ RPM Fusion Nonfree], using a similar method as it is done in Arch Linux (see below). After [https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration installing RPM Fusion] you can simply run the following commands to install and run ''Dwarf Fortress'', which will pull in all the required dependencies:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install dwarffortress<br />
$ dwarffortress<br />
<br />
The Fedora package is configured to use <code>~/.dwarffortress</code> for per user configuration. Most importantly, your saves and configuration files are in the <code>~/.dwarffortress/data</code> folder. <br />
<br />
Some other tools are provided by the same packager in the [https://mars.arosser.com/fedora/dwarffortress/dwarffortress.repo "Dwarf Fortress for Fedora"] repository. For more information please [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158289.msg7009116#msg7009116 see this forum thread].<br />
<br />
If you want to install 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' manually, you can run the following:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf gtk2-devel openal-soft alsa-lib alsa-plugins-pulseaudio mesa-dri-drivers<br />
<br />
On 64-bit Fedora installations, to install 32-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' you can install 32-bit libraries by appending ".i686" to the package name:<br />
<br />
$ sudo dnf install SDL.i686 SDL_image.i686 SDL_ttf.i686 gtk2-devel.i686 openal-soft.i686 alsa-lib.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 mesa-dri-drivers.i686<br />
<br />
Fedora installs all 32-bit libraries to /usr/lib and 64-bit libraries to /usr/lib64 (with /lib and /lib64 being links to these two directories), so if you need to install stuff manually, look in there.<br />
<br />
=== Arch Linux ===<br />
A 64-bit ''Dwarf Fortress'' package is available in the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#community community repository]. There are also [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=dwarffortress other packages] available in the Arch User Repository ([https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository AUR]).<br />
<br />
==== Official package installation ====<br />
Install the official package like any other<br />
# pacman -Syu dwarffortress<br />
Any required dependencies will be installed, too.<br />
<br />
You can then launch ''Dwarf Fortress'' by running 'dwarffortress' in your terminal emulator. The package also includes a .desktop file so the game should appear in whatever application launcher or menu you might use.<br />
<br />
The first time a user launches the game, the directory .dwarffortress will be created in that user's home directory. Game settings and files can be changed there. Note that some of the directories in there are links to common directories and changes to them will effect all users. Also, any changes to common files should be backed up since they will be overwritten when the package updates. You can find the locations of files installed by the package with the command<br />
$ pacman -Ql dwarffortress<br />
<br />
If you use tools like dfhack you might want to [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Skip_package_from_being_upgraded configure pacman to not update] ''Dwarf Fortress'' until the tools are updated.<br />
<br />
==== AUR package installation ====<br />
Install an AUR package [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages manually] or using an [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers AUR helper]. The different AUR packages may or may not install the game similarly to the official package - use the previous pacman command to check game file locations.<br />
<br />
==== Manual or multiple installations ====<br />
You can also manually install ''Dwarf Fortress'' in case you want to try other versions or with and without mods. Just follow the generic Linux instructions above with a different directory for each install. If you've installed one of the above packages, all the dependencies should already be installed, except maybe GTK2. The package in the official repositories patches ``libgraphics.so`` to remove the GTK2 dependency. If you get an error that ``libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0`` cannot be opened, you can either use the ``libgraphics.so`` from the official package, by copying it to the ``libs`` folder in the new install or linking to it from there, or install GTK2.<br />
<br />
To launch this version: in a terminal emulator, ``cd`` to that directory, and run ``./df``. If you get a permission error, you may need to mark the script and executable as being executable with:<br />
$ chmod u+x df libs/Dwarf_Fortress<br />
Once you get an install working you can create a [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries custom .desktop file] to launch it.<br />
<br />
If you want to install a 32-bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' you will have to enable the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#multilib multilib repository], install the 32-bit system libraries, and install the 32-bit game dependencies manually (check the Arch wiki for more information).<br />
<br />
=== CentOS 7 ===<br />
<br />
''Dwarf Fortress'' is now 64-bit, so simply run:<br />
<br />
sudo yum install SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf openal<br />
<br />
Note that CentOS 7 ships with glibc 2.17, but ''Dwarf Fortress'' by default would like 2.18. [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9893 This bug] has a fix, simply copy the [http://pastebin.com/jX4Wf062 Pastebin script], then move the libraries into a new folder.<br />
<br />
cd df_linux<br />
curl -L http://pastebin.com/raw/jX4Wf062 > df<br />
mkdir c_libs<br />
mv libs/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libstdc++.so.6 c_libs/<br />
chmod a+x df<br />
<br />
Then run it!<br />
./df<br />
<br />
=== Gentoo ===<br />
<br />
There is a ''Dwarf Fortress'' [https://packages.gentoo.org/package/games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress ebuild] in the main Gentoo's portage tree compatible with the new multilib support.<br />
<br />
# emerge -av games-roguelike/dwarf-fortress<br />
<br />
=== Solus ===<br />
<br />
Download ''Dwarf Fortress'' from the Bay 12 Games website. If you encounter the following error upon launch:<br />
<br />
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br />
<br />
then simply run the following command to install the missing libraries:<br />
<br />
sudo eopkg install sdl-ttf<br />
<br />
If you are running a 32bit version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', simply replace <code>sdl-ttf</code> with <code>sdl-ttf-32bit</code> in the above command. You're all set!<br />
<br />
=== OpenSuse Tumbleweed ===<br />
These instructions should work for OpenSuse Leap as well, they just haven't been tested yet.<br />
==== Dependencies ====<br />
$ sudo zypper in libGLU1 libSDL_image-1_2-0 libSDL_ttf-2_0-0<br />
==== Remove the included c++ library ====<br />
The included library isn't compatible with OpenSuse's <code>libGLU1</code> package<br />
$ cd path/to/df_linux/libs<br />
$ rm libstdc++.so.6<br />
<br />
cd back to df_linux/ and run the game!<br />
$ cd ../<br />
$ ./df<br />
=== Wine ===<br />
Downloading the windows version and running it with Wine works fine ([https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=32503 platinum] on 1.7.47 as of .4x.xx, which means the program runs flawlessly without any initial user configuration). This also avoids any issues with 32-bit versus 64-bit mode.<br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting ===<br />
If you get errors, it is likely that others will have had the same problem; Try searching the bay12games forum with the error message.<br />
==== Sound ====<br />
<br />
After installing, DF will run, but will complain that it cannot find the OpenAL library and cannot play sounds, even when OpenAL (i386) has been installed. This is due to a bug/feature in which there is no link from the name of the library that DF is looking for ("libopenal.so") to its implementation ("libopenal.so.1" - technically another link). To fix this, simply provide the necessary links in DF's own ''libs'' directory:<br />
<br />
$ cd df_linux/libs<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 ./libopenal.so<br />
$ ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 ./libsndfile.so<br />
<br />
==== TEXT mode ====<br />
In this mode - which can be activated in [[init.txt]] - DF uses a terminal as its display, much like classic roguelikes such as Rogue, Moria, and Nethack originally did. There are some caveats for using this mode.<br />
<br />
Some key combinations in the default DF configuration will not work. These can be changed in game by pressing {{k|ESC}} then choosing the Key Bindings option or out of the game by editing the [[interface.txt]] file. This is due to the way terminal emulators handle input, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses ncurses] library, and the way DF interfaces with them.{{bug|5494}} Some examples are the keypad keys with modifiers or {{k|Shift+Enter}}.<br />
<br />
DF uses the CP437 [[Character_table|character set]] and TEXT mode translates those to UTF-8. Characters will only be displayed correctly if the font the terminal emulator is using has glyphs for all of the set. A UTF-8 encoded text file to test glyph coverage can be found [http://www.orenwatson.be/cp437.htm here]. Download the text file, view it in the terminal (using more, less, cat, etc.), and check if the font the terminal is using includes all the characters shown on the HTML version. Some terminals may be configured to use a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallback_font fallback font] if the main one lacks a glyph - that may result in different sized glyphs being used.<br />
<br />
There is a [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59983.0 utility] to convert a DF [[tileset]] to a TTF file. That thread also has downloads for some already converted sets. This does not work for graphics sets. This is one way to get a square font that includes all the characters. [https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/ksquare.shtml Kreative Square] is another though it has many more glyphs than are needed.<br />
<br />
DF's [[colors.txt]] file will have no effect. However, many terminal emulators have settings to change the colors they display. See the terminal emulator's man page for details. Note that the order of the [[Color#Color_values|colors]] is different - the position of the blues and reds are switched as are the cyans and brown/yellow. So, when copying DF color schemes into terminal emulator settings, be sure to change them to the correct order or you'll get yellow "sky", red water, and blue blood.<br />
<br />
Many terminal emulators have a setting to treat bright colored text as bold instead. This will cause dark grey text to be "displayed" as bold, black text - usually on a black background - making it unreadable. See the terminal emulator's man page for an option to disable this behavior. (Note that LXTerminal's disallowbold option does not currently seem to work.)<br />
<br />
If the [[intro movie]] is enabled, DF will not use the full terminal size unless it receives a resize event. If the intro movie is disabled, DF will use the full size from the start. Note, however, that some DF screens do not use the full size of the window under any circumstance.<br />
<br />
==== Upgrading ====<br />
<br />
Since every new version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' unpacks in a directory named '''df_linux''' you have to manage upgrades yourself - or use the [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9639 Linux Updater Script]. As on all systems, you should '''not''' unpack a new version of DF on top of an old version's directory -- this will cause things to break, usually in subtle and mysterious ways. Instead, you should either delete or rename the old '''df_linux''' directory first, before extracting the new version.<br />
<br />
==== Manually installing 32-bit libraries ====<br />
<br />
If you do need to manually install the libraries, then the first step is to figure out where you will be putting them. Check to see where your other 32-bit libraries are already installed; for example, on Debian, some are in /lib32 and others are in /usr/lib32. Since libSDL is in /usr/lib32 on a Debian system, that's where we'll want to put libSDL_image and libSDL_ttf. On other distributions, the path could be different.<br />
<br />
The second step is to get the 32-bit libraries. You can typically do this by downloading them directly from your distribution's 32-bit package repository. Again using Debian as our example, we can perform a search at http://packages.debian.org/ for files containing the word libSDL_image for the Intel x86 architecture. This takes us to [http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libSDL_image&mode=filename&suite=stable&arch=i386 a results page] from which we can proceed to [http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libsdl-image1.2 the libsdl-image1.2 package page] with a list of download links arranged by architecture. Grab the i386 package from here, and repeat this for the libSDL_ttf package, and whatever other library you are missing. Store these package files somewhere convenient.<br />
<br />
The third step is to extract the libraries from the packages and get them in the proper location. You probably ''won't'' be able simply to install the packages using your package manager, because they are for the wrong architecture. Instead, you'll probably have to extract them by hand. The steps for doing this are distribution-specific, so when in doubt consult your distribution's help resources. Here are the steps for a .deb package.<br />
<br />
* cd into some temporary working directory such as /tmp<br />
* Extract the files from the .deb archive, which is in ar(1) format:<br />
tar x /path/to/libsdl-image1.2*_i386.deb<br />
: This creates three files: debian-binary, control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz. We only care about data.tar.gz.<br />
* Extract data.tar.gz:<br />
tar xzf data.tar.gz<br />
: This creates a subdirectory named usr with various files inside it. We only care about usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.8.2 (or whatever precise version yours has).<br />
* Move the shared library into place:<br />
sudo mv usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.* /usr/lib32/<br />
* Create a symlink to it:<br />
cd /usr/lib32<br />
sudo ln -s libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.* libSDL_image-1.2.so.0<br />
cd -<br />
<br />
Repeat this for libSDL_ttf and whatever other libraries are required.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': If you get the error that libsndfile.so is not found, you must use the following:<br />
find */libsndfile.so*<br />
cd to the correct directory, then use ln as shown above.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== "Not found: /data/art/mouse.png" ====<br />
===== Fix 1: Preload zlib=====<br />
Due to incompatibilities between DF's included zlib and newer versions of zlib, libpng can fail on newer systems. A solution is to add this line to the beginning of <code>/your/path/df_linux/df</code> (or <code>/your/path/df_linux/dfhack</code> if you use [[DFHack]]):<br />
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libz.so.1<br />
Note that this path can vary - be sure that it is referring to a '''32-bit''' zlib.<br />
===== Fix 2: Use bmp instead =====<br />
Another solution (if preloading zlib doesn't work) is to force DF to use the BMP versions of image files. You must first edit the ''/data/init/init.txt'' file and change all occurrences of "png" to "bmp". This should solve all the error messages except for one: "''Not found: data/art/mouse.png''" since there is no setting in the init files to change it. The workaround for this is to edit the ''Dwarf_Fortress'' file found in the ''/your/path/df_linux/libs'' folder which contains the setting for the mouse cursor.<br />
If you don't know how to do that, you can try this:<br />
* cd to the ''/df_linux/libs'' folder<br />
* open ''Dwarf_Fortress'' in ''vi'' or any other editor of your choise:<br />
vi ./Dwarf_Fortress<br />
: This opens the file for editing (text mode). If you are not familiar with ''vi'', it would be a good idea to follow these steps exactly and not press any other keys since they all activate specific commands. If you do press a key though, you can press the ''ESC key'' a few times to cancel the command.<br />
* With vi open, write the following string and press ''Enter'':<br />
/mouse<br />
: This will search for all the strings that contain the word "mouse" and place the cursor on the first match. Pressing the ''n key'' will cycle through all the matches.<br />
* Press the ''n'' key until the cursor moves to the desired string, which is "''data/art/mouse.png''". If you accidentally move past the string, you can cycle back through the matched strings using the ''N key'' (shift + n).<br />
* Once you find the right string, you will have to move the cursor over the "p" in "[..]/mouse.<b>p</b>ng". You do that by pressing the ''l key'' which will move the cursor to the right. There is also the ''h key'' to move the cursor to the left, in case you move past it.<br />
* With the cursor in the right position press the following key sequence:<br />
xxxibmp<br />
: This will replace the ''.png'' extension with the ''.bmp'' one which solves the problem of the missing ''/data/art/mouse.png'' error.<br />
* All there is left to do is to save the modifications to the file and quit ''vi''. For that, press the ''ESC key'' once or twice and then press the following key sequence after which you press ''Enter'':<br />
:wq<br />
: This saves the changes and quits 'vi'<br />
<br />
Now the game should work properly. Have fun!<br />
<br />
==== libGL error ====<br />
<br />
''libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open i965''<br />
<br />
''libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast''<br />
<br />
This can be caused by incompatible libgcc_s.so.1<br />
<br />
===== Fix 1: change print mode =====<br />
<br />
* Go to /data/init/init.txt<br />
* Edit PRINT_MODE to be any of the 2D modes or TEXT instead of openGL-based modes like STANDARD, VBO or TWBT.<br />
<br />
===== Fix 2: change library =====<br />
<br />
* Open df_linux/libs folder<br />
* Rename libgcc_s.so.1 to libgcc_s.so.1.bak so that DF will be unable to find it and will default to system libraries.<br />
* If DF still doesn't launch, find and install suitable libgcc with your package manager.<br />
* If you have multiple libgccs, you may need to make a shortcut like with libopenal and libsndfile above.<br />
<br />
==FreeBSD==<br />
<br />
Although there is no official version ported to FreeBSD, ''Dwarf Fortress'' can nevertheless be run using either Wine or FreeBSD's compatibility with Linux. There is now an [https://www.freshports.org/games/linux-dwarffortress/ official port] and installing it can be done the following way (with ports):<br />
<br />
cd /usr/ports/games/linux-dwarffortress/ && make install clean<br />
<br />
or, with pkg:<br />
<br />
pkg install linux-dwarffortress<br />
<br />
You may also wish to download and run it manually. However, attempting to run the Linux version out of the blue will result in an error about missing library files. Such files must be downloaded from special linux-compatible packages or ports; using your preferred installation method, install the following:<br />
<br />
===linux-c6===<br />
sudo pkg install linux-c6-gtk2 linux-c6-sdl linux-c6-sdl_image linux-c6-sdl_ttf linux-c6-libGLU \<br />
linux-c6-openal-soft linux-c6-libsndfile linux-c6-alsa-plugins-oss<br />
<br />
===linux-f10===<br />
If you don't have the linux-c6 ports available in your system, you can still run ''Dwarf Fortress'' (albeit without sound) using the following packages:<br />
sudo pkg install linux-f10-alsa-lib linux-f10-atk linux-f10-cairo linux-f10-expat linux-f10-fontconfig \<br />
linux-f10-gtk2 linux-f10-jpeg linux-f10-pango linux-f10-png linux-f10-sdl linux-f10-sdl_image linux-f10-tiff \<br />
linux-f10-xorg-libs linux-sdl_ttf linux_base-f10 linux_dri linux-f10-libGLU<br />
linux_dri might be optional if you have the NVIDIA driver. Note that due to the lack of a linux-f10-libsndfile port, the sound will not work. Requests are being made to [http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2013-January/247698.html port] it, as well as a [https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178474 DF] port itself.<br />
<br />
<br />
After you install the required packages, copy (or symlink) DF's own library files to the linux-compatible directory:<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo cp libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
Or<br />
cd dwarf_fortress_directory<br />
sudo ln -s libs/lib* /compat/linux/usr/lib/<br />
<br />
You can then run DF normally. Although it will likely display a bunch of warnings and errors about fonts, it should work.<br />
<br />
If you want to avoid polluting your linux-compatible directory, you can always just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running df:<br />
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./df<br />
<br />
== Chrome OS (Crostini) ==<br />
<br />
It is possible to add ''Dwarf Fortress'' to Chrome OS using the Linux (Beta), to add Linux to Chrome OS, [https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?p=chromebook_linuxapps check here to enable it]<br />
You will need to edit the sources list to include the "non-free" repository, this is done by adding "non-free" to the end of the main sources file found at /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
<br />
e.g.<br />
# Generated by distrobuilder<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main non-free<br />
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main non-free<br />
Followed by running<br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
Then just follow the Debian instructions above<br />
<br />
== Android ==<br />
<br />
There is no Android version, but the Windows version can be run on it using ExaGear, Eltech's Windows emulator (which is essentially Wine for Android), as documented [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174983.0 here]. The app isn't free though.<br />
<br />
== iOS ==<br />
<br />
There is no iOS version, but you may remotely connect to a computer running DF through an app called [https://mifki.com/df/ Dwarf Fortress Remote]. This requires a special version of [[DFHack]] to be run on the target computer which you may download at the same time. It also provides a subscription where you connect to an already set up remote server.<br />

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}<br />
{{av}}<br />
{{Mod}}<br />
<br />
A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
<br />
The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.<br />
<br />
There have been numerous graphics updates with the release of version 50. Unfortunately, at the moment, the latest release only renders properly with the default resolution and tile size. The default tileset is curses_640x300.png, so until there is an update, only 640×300 and 8×12 will render properly.<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)<br />
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:<br />
## Do '''not''' just change the extension to .bmp or .png; you must use a program like MS paint to save it properly.<br />
## For ''[[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.<br />
## For ''[[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.<br />
# Move or copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).<br />
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init_default.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are three lines that can be changed:<br />
## '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for a windowed display.<br />
## '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for a full-screen display.<br />
## '''[BASIC_FONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for initial loading and menu display.<br />
## All three can be set to the same file.<br />
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.<br />
# If the selected tileset requires modifications to the [[Raw]]s, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself, and may only be valid for older versions. Likewise, some tilesets may suggest changes to {{tt|d_init.txt}}, such as {{tt|[PILLAR_TILE:255]}}, but those options no longer exist.<br />
<br />
Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!<br />

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.<br />

|comments=Version 2.05. Updated 11/12/07 to de-fuzz uppercase letters, added serifs and clarified lowercase letters, made horizontal spacing consistent throughout character set, fixed one error in the double horizontal-left-right, single-vertical-up-down character, made exclamation points consistent, thinned out question mark and inverse question mark, sharpened sideways stemless arrows, clarified international characters, and clarified some Greek letters. Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.<br />

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10&times;10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.<br />

|comments=I tried to make all the pictographic symbols as descriptive as possible: the only ones I've spotted that show up in odd places are the staircase symbols, '<' and '>', which are used as tags on barrel descriptions, and don't match -- but I'm willing to live with that in order to be able to tell up-stairs from down-ones. With everything else, I just tried to maximize clarity and readability and to keep them consistent. I'm really very pleased with how this set turned out. <br />

|comments=This works great on my EeePCs shoddy resolution of 1024x600, and this is why I made it. This is basically the [http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/ Terminus font] converted for use on DF. I chose this font due to its readability at a low resolutions, and soon I'll convert some of the non-letter characters into actually objects like beds and dwarves, so keep a look out for an updated version that I'll add below.<br />

|comments=Similar to [[Tileset_repository#Alloy|Alloy's conversion]], this is based on the default curses_800x600 tileset, converted to 12x12. I wrote a GIMP python plugin to add padding to bring each tile up to the required size, and then I manually tidied up the places where the images no longer went all the way to the edge of the tile. This ensures that the positioning of each image within each tile stays exactly the same as in the original tileset, but with a single pixel column added on both sides of the tile to bring it up to size. For people who like the 800x600 original tileset's look and size but want a square version of it.<br />

|comments=A square tileset using the diagonal wall concept from Belal and others but simplified drastically to improve the appearance. All the walls line up correctly and have consistent widths.<br />
I did not use much of the pretty but confusing art I see in many of the other sets. I tried for a while to incorporate many of these but found that with the multiple uses for most characters they were just wrong far too often to be useful. The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible. I love it and my husband has been happily playing it for months.<br />

It also draws inspiration from the Ishmeria tileset, which I think complements it nicely as text in TWBT. (Nowadays I use the nicely contrasting sans serif tileset Jecfox for the text font.)"

|comments=Recently I learned of a monitor displaying 2560 pixels horizontally, and I decided it needed a tileset to put to use. Taking the tileset I use (Kelora 16x16 diagonal) and doubling it, I was able to get a decent tileset. Smoothing the edges, and redoing some glyphs to get a better look (or just messing up some to bad to fix), I was able to achieve this. <br />

:''If you cannot find the altered raws of a tileset for your version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' have a look at the [[Raw tile selector]] tool.''<br />

These tilesets require modified [[raws]] to work properly. Specifically, the tile numbers assigned to some objects (critters, stones, plants) need to be changed and accented characters usually need to be removed from all languages.<br />

|comments= I always liked the simplicity and feeling of ASCII tilesets but at the same time i really missed solid backgrounds and some interesting tiles from graphical tilesets. So my first try was to apply a solid background to all tiles of Talryth square tileset ( except few ones ), but it came out looking like a bunch of vermins swimming in a goblin's vomit... anyway i tried further and began to experiment with different base tilesets and finally made my own, using elements from tilesets of other authors ( mainly Tocky's one, big thanks to him! ). Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well. <br />

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).<br />
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)<br />

|comments= An update of [[user:Plac1d|Plac1d's]] tile set, now updated for DF2010. This tileset also presents an elegant solution for modifying the {{K|%}} tile to get good pumps, rocks, and meals. This tileset was made to serve three purposes; a) To always make text understandable, b) to make DF games more visually interesting, and c) to keep symbols simple so that the player can imagine multiple meanings for the same symbol. <br />

Updated new glyphs to be more consistent with the Fixedsys style. - v2.1 - update a few more glyphs, namely the integral, the infinity symbol, and the spade, and a few others I'm forgetting. - v2.2 - update the club and spade, and the music notes - v2.3 - fix the fact that 0xF9 and 0xFA were inadvertently swapped.<br />

The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is actually different from the 8x14 version in that 20 characters have been replaced with the original MDA wide versions. These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8&times;8 font in the EGA BIOS ROM. The changed characters, in ASCII order, are: arrow-left-and-right, '"', '+', '-', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'ae', cent sign, yen, peseta, plus-minus, and division sign. Other than these characters, all characters are the same, with rightmost-row duplicated on the C and D rows like the MDA (though I don't actually know if this is technically correct).<br />

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements. You can discuss the matter [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=000645 here].<br />
