• Installing in program files:
  Its possible to place the darkmod-folder inside this folder.
  But you have to set permissions as a administrator listed above.
  (or use the TDM-installer)

Linux

Install TDM on a Linux Distribution

You can play TDM also on several Linux distributions.
(Tested on Ubuntu, Opensuse)

The main method is to install TDM is:

1. install dependencies software packages (if there are needed).
2. Create a folder and give it the name "darkmod", set write permissions to the folder (including subfolders en files)
3. Download the installer/updater,
4. extract the installer/updater in the darkmod folder.
5. set the execute permissions to the executables.
6. run the tdm_installer / updater to download the neeeded files.

There are several ways to install TDM on a Linux Distribution.

• By using the Packagemanager of your Linux distribution
• By a manual installation.
• By installing a RPM/DEB softwarepackage
• Or using the windows application on Wine variant (like proton, "Play on Linux")

Installing TDM

Step 1:

Create a folder and set the permissions. By opening a terminal window and enter the following commands:

   sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/games/darkmod
   sudo chown -R nobody:users /usr/share/games/darkmod
   sudo chmod -R uga+w /usr/share/games/darkmod
   exit

Step 2:

Now the updater needs to be downloaded, unpacked in the install folder and permissions need to be set.
To do this, open the terminal again and enter the following lines:

   cd /usr/share/games/darkmod
   wget https://update.thedarkmod.com/zipsync/tdm_installer.linux64.zip
   unzip ./tdm_installer.linux64.zip -d /usr/share/games/darkmod
   rm ./tdm_installer.linux64.zip
   chmod uga+x ./tdm_installer.linux64

Step 3:

Run the updater

   ./tdm_installer.linux64

Step 4:

Wait until the updater ends, then give everybody the permission to start the applicationfile "thedarkmod.x86".

   chmod uga+x ./thedarkmod.x64

(for the 32 bit: chmod uga+x ./tdm_update.x86)

Note:
Its possible you need to install some required packages before or after the installation.
The packages you need will be displayed as an cryptic error. See the notes below.

Running TDM

Open a terminal and run the following command:

cd /usr/share/games/darkmod; ./thedarkmod.x64

Updating TDM

Open a terminal and run the following command:

cd /usr/share/games/darkmod; ./tdm_installer.linux64

Removing TDM

Open a terminal and run the following command:

rm -rf /usr/share/games/darkmod

Installing Dependencies

Its possible you need to install some required libraries/packages before or after the installation.
Packages like "OpenAL" (audio), "MESA" (video), "libxext", "libxxf86vm1", "libpng"
And maybe drivers for the video card.

First install the packages mentioned above, using your packagemanager
Then determine the other packages you need, using command "ldd" or TDM's application errors.
Do a quick internet search using the name of the missing package to search and install the package.

To determine the other packages you need is:

• by using the command "ldd"
  
• Or to look for application errors when you start the application
  (or look for error in the darkmod.log)

Use command "ldd" like:

 ldd ./thedarkmod.x64

An example output would be:

 linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe6c57d000)
 librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00007f8e67217000)
 libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f8e66e8d000)
 libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f8e66b42000)
 libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f8e6692a000)
 libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f8e6670c000)
 libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f8e66352000)
 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f8e6741f000)

When a package is not found, it will display the error "not found" between the lines.

And other way is to run TDM application/updater binary and look for errors that will be displayed
Application errors are like these:

 ./thedarkmod.x64: error while loading shared libraries: <the_needed_package> :cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After determining the missing packages,
A quick internet search using the name of the missing package,
gives the names of the packages you have to install.

An example of the required packages for tdm 2.07 on opensuse leap:
libm,libstdc++,libgcc_s,libstdc++,libgcc_s,libpthread,libX11
libdl,libstdc++,libopenal,libpthread,libboost_system,libcurl,libjpeg,libm
libstdc++,libz,libboost_filesystem,libstdc++,libXext,libboost_program_options,
libIL,libXxf86vm,libavcodec,libavformat,libavutil,libswscale,libswresample
and xdg-utils

Notes

• Its possible you need to install some required packages before or after the installation.

Codelines for updater-shortcut:

   Path=/usr/share/games/darkmod/
   Exec=sh -c /usr/share/games/darkmod/tdm_update.linux64;$SHELL
   Categories=Game;ArcadeGame;
   Type=Application

(or for the 32 bit: Exec=sh -c /usr/share/games/darkmod/tdm_update.linux;$SHELL)

Codelines for the gameexecutable-shortcut:

   Path=/usr/share/games/darkmod/
   Exec=sh -c /usr/share/games/darkmod/thedarkmod.x64;$SHELL
   Type=Application
   Terminal=false

(or for the 32 bit: Exec=sh -c /usr/share/games/darkmod/thedarkmod.x86;$SHELL)
