# Installation

> Set up Wizard Duel with all required dependencies and build tools

# Installation

Wizard Duel requires several system libraries and build tools to compile and run successfully.

## System requirements

### Operating system

* Linux (tested on X11-based systems)
* Windows and macOS may require additional configuration

### Dependencies

The game requires the following libraries:

<Note>
  All dependencies are linked during compilation. See the Makefile for the complete list.
</Note>

| Library     | Purpose                                                     |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Raylib**  | 2D graphics rendering, windowing, input handling, and audio |
| **ENet**    | Reliable UDP networking for multiplayer                     |
| **OpenGL**  | Graphics acceleration                                       |
| **pthread** | Threading support                                           |
| **X11**     | Linux windowing system                                      |

Additional system libraries: `dl`, `rt`, `m` (math)

## Installation steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install build tools">
    Install the C++ compiler and build essentials:

    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install build-essential g++
    ```

    The project uses C++17 standard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install Raylib">
    Install Raylib for graphics and game framework:

    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo apt install libraylib-dev
    ```

    Or build from source following the [official Raylib installation guide](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib#build-and-installation).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install ENet">
    Install ENet for multiplayer networking:

    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo apt install libenet-dev
    ```

    This provides the `<enet/enet.h>` header and networking library.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install graphics libraries">
    Install OpenGL and X11 development libraries:

    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev
    ```

    These are required for rendering on Linux systems.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify installation">
    Check that all libraries are installed:

    ```bash theme={null}
    pkg-config --modversion raylib
    ldconfig -p | grep enet
    ldconfig -p | grep GL
    ```

    Each command should return version information or library paths.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  The game requires assets (island.png, tree.png, cursor.png, self\_char.png, and death.mp3) in an `assets/` directory. Make sure these are present before running.
</Warning>

## Compilation flags

The Makefile uses the following compilation settings:

```makefile theme={null}
CC = g++
CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra -std=c++17
LIBS = -lraylib -lenet -lGL -lm -lpthread -ldl -lrt -lX11
```

* **Wall, Wextra**: Enable comprehensive compiler warnings
* **std=c++17**: Use C++17 language standard
* All libraries are dynamically linked
