Installation¶

Dependencies¶

External dependencies are listed below, and the installation instructions for these can be found on the respective libraries’ websites. Note that if your machine’s version of OpenGL is insufficient, you can usually solve this by updating your graphics drivers and/or installing Mesa.

OpenGL 3.3 or higher
SDL2
GLEW 1.1
SOIL

Downloading ochre¶

To download the source, go to the location in which you want to save your game and clone the repo using git. (The git repository can be viewed on GitHub here.)

git clone https://github.com/NANDerthal/ochre.git

The ochre engine does not have a GUI and is intended to be used in its source form, so no further installation is required.

To test that your environment is configured correctly with the dependencies listed above, go to the ochre folder and make the test as follows:

cd ochre/
make
./main.out -t

If all went well, you should see a window with nothing in it. It will close itself after two seconds.
