From EncyclopAtys
In this tutorial, we will cover the installation and configuration of the Ryzom client itself. We will not document how to install dependencies for it can change from a distribution to another.
From the official archive
First, you may need to install wget
and 7z
. Then, retrieve the compressed Ryzom archive using the following commands:
mkdir -p "$HOME/ryzom" wget -O "ryzom_live_client_linux.7z" "https://sourceforge.net/projects/ryzom/files/installer/ryzom_live_client_linux$(test $(uname -m) = 'x86_64' && echo 64 || echo 32).7z/download" wget -O "ryzom_live_data.7z" "https://sourceforge.net/projects/ryzom/files/installer/ryzom_live_data.7z/download" 7z x "ryzom_live_client_linux.7z" -o"$HOME/ryzom/" 7z x "ryzom_live_data.7z" -o"$HOME/ryzom/" rm -f "ryzom_live_client_linux.7z" "ryzom_live_data.7z"
Starting script (optional)
If you do not already have one, create a custom directory where you can store executable files:
mkdir -p "$HOME/bin" echo '[[ ":$PATH:" == *":$HOME/bin:"* ]] || export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >>"$HOME/.bashrc" source "$HOME/.bashrc"
Create the $HOME/bin/ryzom
file with the following content and change your_account_name_goes_here
with your account name.
#!/bin/sh set -euo pipefail IFS=$'\n\t' ACCOUNT="kirlack" #ACCOUNT="miano" RYZOM_DOMAIN="ryzom.com" RYZOM_DIR="$HOME/ryzom/client" RYZOM_CLIENT="ryzom_client" if [ $# -ge 1 ]; then ACCOUNT="$1" fi cd "$RYZOM_DIR" if hash pass 2>/dev/null; then PASSWORD="$(pass $RYZOM_DOMAIN/$ACCOUNT)" "$RYZOM_DIR/$RYZOM_CLIENT" "$ACCOUNT" "$PASSWORD" else "$RYZOM_DIR/$RYZOM_CLIENT" "$ACCOUNT" fi
Now set the starting script executable:
chmod a+x "$HOME/bin/ryzom"
You can now start Ryzom using the ryzom
command. To start Ryzom with another account, you can use the ryzom account_name
command.
Password management (optional)
pass can be used to handle your account password. The starting script already handles it providing you store your password under ryzom.com/account_name
. Obviously, you can store passwords for multiple accounts using the same pattern.
