1. Installing Quake3 on a Raspberry pi (short cut)

• there exists a good description of how to build quake3 from source on the raspberry pi web site
• however it will take 50 minutes to compile quake3
• these instructions allow you to skip the compile and download a prebuilt tarball

2. Step 1

• install some packages

• $ sudo apt-get install wget libsdl1.2-dev unzip

• now download the prebuilt quake 3 (includes source, binaries and pak files)

• $ wget http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/download/targz/arm-quake3.tar.gz

• unpack the tar.gz archive

• $ tar zxf arm-quake3.tar.gz

3. Step 2

• rename directory and install some key files

• $ mv arm-quake3 quake3
  $ cd quake3
  $ sudo cp q3 /usr/local/bin
  $ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/q3
  $ cd ..

4. Step 3

• now we need to install the pak files

• $ cd quake3
  $ mkdir -p $HOME/.q3a
  $ unzip -d $HOME/.q3a q3-demo-paks.zip
  $ cd ..

• now for a quick frag

• $ q3

5. Step 4

• an extra aside, if you wanted to turn off swapping on your pi, you might consider this extra commands
  • these commands will turn off swapping automatically every time the RPI boots
  • we copy a new rc.local and reboot the pi using these commands:

• $ cd quake3
  $ sudo mv /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.local-
  $ sudo cp rc.local /etc/rc.local
  $ sync
  $ sudo reboot
