Installing Timidity If you want music, then you'll need to install timidity. If you try running Skulltag without having timidity and not using the parameter -nomusic chances are the game will hang up attempting to use a device not on your PC. If you don't want to bother installing timidity, just use this parameter: skulltag -nomusic

• ... on any Debian-based distribution, run (as root):

# apt-get install timidity

Setting Up The easiest way to set Skulltag up is to simply create a skulltag folder in your home directory and extract the linux base (skulltag.wad) and distro binary (skulltag and skulltag.pk3) in there. After that simply put all of your iwads in that same directory. If you don't want your iwads in that directory you can either use the parameter -iwad <location> when starting Skulltag or go into your skulltag.ini file in /home/user/.zdoom (hidden dir) and specify a path there.

Now you should be set to run Skulltag! From there go into your terminal and type the path to your skulltag directory. Probably /home/<user>/skulltag . When in there, type ./skulltag (-nomusic) (-iwad <dir>) to launch skulltag. If something went wrong during installation and a necessary device was not found, it should give you the error in the terminal.

Don't forget that most, if not all Linux Distro's are case sensitive, so if the capitalization of your IWAD's is weird, Skulltag won't run!
