Users:
To try out Trigger on Linux, you will typically need to download trigger-rally-0.6.x.tar.bz2, unpack it and follow the instructions in the included /doc/README.txt. Up-to-date binaries may be available in your distros repositories (e.g. Debian), and a PPA is available for Ubuntu users.
To use the (experimental) Windows binary, proceed as follows:
- Create C:\Program Files\Trigger Rally (or C:\Program Files (x86) on 64-bit Windows)
- Copy trigger-rally.exe from the link above into the new folder
- Download the latest 'data' from SF
- Unpack the data into the new folder. Do not keep the 'data' top level folder, that is, you should have 'events', 'maps', 'textures' etc. directly in the Trigger Rally folder.
- Optionally create a shortcut.
Then you should be able to start trigger-rally.exe.
Packagers:
In addition to the main release archive, we also provide tarballs that would facilitate the packaging on distros such as Debian (and Ubuntu). Specifically, we publish trigger-rally-0.6.x-src.tar.bz2 containing all the project source code without the large 'data' folder; and trigger-rally-0.6.x-data.tar.bz2 containing only the 'data' folder.
