## Building on Linux
These instructions are for Debian-based distros and were tested with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Arch.
__Note:__ this is experimental. None of the developers are using Linux as a desktop OS, so you're pretty much on your own if you encounter any problems with running the application.

- Install Mono. The `mono-complete` package from the Debian repo doesn't include `msbuild`, so you have to install `mono-complete` by following the instructions on the Mono project's website: https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin
-**Ubuntu:** The `mono-complete` package from the Debian repo doesn't include `msbuild`, so you have to install `mono-complete` by following the instructions on the Mono project's website: https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin
-**Arch:** mono (and msbuild which is also required) is in the *extra/* repo, which is enabled by default. `sudo pacman -S mono mono-msbuild`
- Install additional required packages
-**Ubuntu:**`sudo apt install make g++ git libx11-dev libxfixes-dev mesa-common-dev`
-**Arch:**`sudo pacman -S base-devel`
- If you're using X11 display manager you may need to install these packages: `libx11 libxfixes`
- If you are not using the proprietary nvidia driver you may need to install `mesa`
- Go to a directory of your choice and clone the repository (it'll automatically create an `UltimateDoomBuilder` directory in the current directory): `git clone https://github.com/jewalky/UltimateDoomBuilder.git`
- Compile UDB: `cd UltimateDoomBuilder && make`
- Run UDB: `cd Build && ./builder`
- Alternatively, to compile UDB in debug mode:
- Run `make BUILDTYPE=Debug` in the root project directory
- This includes a debug output terminal in the bottom panel
