Install Guide
From Sleep is Death
How to install the game on all the supported platforms. After installing you may want to:
- Look at an overview of the Settings system.
- Look at the basics of Player Mode, as well as Controller Basics
- Forward port 7778 to host a remote game. See Setting Up Your Network.
- Look over the FAQs
Windows
Run SleepIsDeath_vXX_Windows.exe. It will extract a folder named SleepIsDeath_vXX, in which you can find all the resources as well as the executable. Put this folder where you want it to be (you should ensure you have write permissions for the folder if you put into one of the Program Files folders on Windowses >= Vista), and run SleepIsDeath.exe inside it to play the game.
Linux/Unix
The linux/unix compilation instructions are still a work in progress...please see the discussion page (which can be reached through the tab at the top of this page) for more info.
There are no pre-built binaries available for these platforms, but you can compile your own, as your license grants you access to the full source code of the game. For this you need to extract the files in the archive (SleepIsDeath_vXX_UnixSource.tar.gz) and compile them using the included runToBuild script.
So basically, download the archive open your console and do the following (replace XX with your version number, e.g. 14):
cd WHERE_THE_ARCHIVE_IS
tar -xzf SleepIsDeath_vXX_UnixSource.tar.gz
cd SleepIsDeath_vXX_UnixSource
./runToBuild
You will end up with a file called SleepIsDeathApp that you can run, as well as all the default resources installed in the surrounding folders.
For this to work you will have to have devel-packages installed for SDL, zlib and libpng.
Note: as of v14, 64 bit compilation works out of the box.
