### 2.2 Getting the game

#### 2.2.1 Download source

Liquid War 6 can be found on http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/liquidwar6/ and http://www.ufoot.org/download/liquidwar/v6/.

Downloading the latest file from this place, and compile it yourself on your computer with a classical `./configure && make && make install` is the recommended way to install Liquid War 6.

#### 2.2.2 Download binaries

Some binary packages are available. As of today, only GNU/Linux based systems are supported, through Debian `.deb` and Red Hat `RPM` packages.

Using these files might save you time installing the game, but installing from source is still the safest and best supported way to install the game, as it is still in beta stage. Binary are also not necessarly available for the latest, most up to date versions of the game.

The list of all the available downloads is accessible on http://www.ufoot.org/liquidwar/v6/download.

Check out the MD5 checksums and GnuPG signatures to verify the integrity and authenticity of the files you download.

#### 2.2.3 Work in progress

Latest work in progress versions can be obtained with GNU Arch. Here's a typical set of commands which will fetch the latest version:

         tla register-archive http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/liquidwar6
         tla get -A liquidwar6@sv.gnu.org liquidwar6--beta

Alternatively, you can directly download GNU Arch patches, and an Archzoom server allows you to browse the source interactively.
