So I guess it's not in the repository then?

Step by step:

1) Download from here:
http://www.warsow.net/?page=download

2) Extract somewhere

3) double-click the linux executable

4) play

You might want to move it to /usr/bin/games/
and put a short script in /usr/bin/ to make it globally executable like:

(Don't copy and paste this! You'll have to change this to the right warsow executable.)

echo /usr/bin/games/warsow/[the file that starts the game] > /usr/bin/warsow
chmod +x /usr/bin/warsow

you should copy the whole warsow directory to /usr/bin/games

cp -rpv /path_to_warsow_directory /usr/bin/games

you might have to create the folder:

mkdir /usr/bin/games

If it sais: permission denied, you'll have to do it as root:

su

*the above commands*

exit

Naturally you should replace that part with warsow.bin or however it's called. I do not have it installed right now, that's why I didn't write it out.

When in doubt just start it from the directory... those steps are just to make it globally executable. If there is an sh file in /usr/bin you don't have to type the complete path to the executable to start it.

So if you still have it on your desktop - could you cd into the directory like:
cd Desktop/Warsow

and execute it from there with:
./warsow
or
./warsow.bin

and post the output if it doesn't start.
