This section is for developers willing to install a precompiled Software Development Kit (SDK) under Linux platform.
Packages are available for Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu.
Unix users typically compile their own sources for almost all software, including Ogre. However pre-built binaries are available for a handful of distributions. See below for yours.
If you don't find your package, and really don't want to ((Building From Source - Shoggoth|build from source)) you may be able to convert one of these packages with something like [http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/|alien].{SPLIT}{DIV}

__Ubuntu is Debian derived__
Precompiled Debian packages may work in Ubuntu. See the {ALINK(aname="Debian")}Debian section{ALINK} for the packages. You may need to temporarily add in the Debian unstable archives to your ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' file to find them, or you can download them manually from http://packages.debian.org.

!!Debian

The latest version of OGRE is only available for [http://www.debian.org/releases/unstable/|Debian/Sid] (not yet in Debian/Testing). The precompiled packages support only the GLX graphics subsystem. Use the source packages or ((Building From Source - Shoggoth|build from source)) if you need the SDL graphics subsystem.

You can find a running thread in the [http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/index.php|OGRE forums] about the Debian packages at [http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5706|this place].Look for the latest post by fog for installation instructions on Debian Sid.

__Packages__
Packages provided for OGRE in {MONO()}main{MONO}:
* source package : [http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/ogre|ogre]
* binary packages : {MONO()}libogre5 libogre-dev libogre5-dbg ogre-tools ogre-doc blender-ogrexml{MONO}

NOTE: some package names have changed over time. to find what you want, just do a "search" on
key-terms, like: "ogre", "cegui".

__Installation__
If you only want to be able to run applications linked dynamically to OGRE, just type :
{CODE(wrap="1", colors="bash")}apt-get install libogre5{CODE}

If you want to develop applications with OGRE, you can type :
{CODE(wrap="1", colors="bash")}apt-get install libogre5 libogre-dev libogre5-dbg ogre-tools ogre-doc blender-ogrexml{CODE}

Note that these packages are dependant on other ones, you'll be asked if you want to install them.

If you don't like command-line interfaces, you can try other package managers like Synaptic (graphical) or Aptitude (console).

__Note for KDE Users:__
Ogre depends on the latest version of the openexr2 package on which kde also depends.Upgrading ogre ''may'' uninstall all the kde packages.To avoid problems upgrade to latest version of kde ''before'' upgrading ogre.If in doubt visit #debian-kde on irc.freenode.net.
