Introduction

Warning: This tutorial assumes some fundamental command line knowledge.
As a rule of thumb, do not copy & paste commands without fully understanding them, especially as root. With great power comes great responsibility.

Note: This article deals primarily with acquiring the source code and rolling your own binary executable. If you don't want to roll your own, download the Linux Binary Installer.

Also, Turey wrote a cross-platform installer (in Java), which is able to download all you need for running fs2_open except the binary.
