Error installing dependencies

Issue:

You receive an error when running the installation script to install SplashKit, or when running the skm linux install command. This is likely because the system cannot detect your linux distribution.

Solution(s)

1. Install dependencies manually

1. Install the dependencies for your Linux distribution manually using the command below:

   Ubuntu/Debian

   sudo apt-get install cmake libpng-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-net-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libmikmod-dev libncurses5-dev libbz2-dev libflac-dev libvorbis-dev libwebp-dev libfreetype6-dev build-essential clang

   Arch
   pacman

   sudo pacman -S cmake libpng sdl2 sdl2_ttf sdl2_image sdl2_net sdl2_mixer sdl2_gfx clang freetype2 ncurses bzip2 flac libvorbis libmikmod libwebp

   yay

   yay -S cmake libpng sdl2 sdl2_ttf sdl2_image sdl2_net sdl2_mixer sdl2_gfx clang freetype2 ncurses bzip2 flac libvorbis libmikmod libwebp

   Fedora

   sudo dnf install cmake libpng SDL2 SDL2_ttf SDL2_image SDL2_net SDL2_mixer SDL2_gfx clang freetype ncurses bzip2 flac libvorbis libmikmod libwebp

   If your distribution is not included above, you will need to install the following dependencies with the package manager for your linux distro:

   • cmake
   • libpng
   • SDL2
   • SDL2_ttf
   • SDL2_image
   • SDL2_net
   • SDL2_mixer
   • SDL2_gfx
   • clang
   • freetype
   • ncurses
   • bzip2
   • flac
   • libvorbis
   • libmikmod
   • libwebp

2. Build and install SplashKit in the default globally locations using the following command:

   skm linux install
