<hr />
<div>This page describes how to download and install the [[Robocode]] game.<br />
<br />
== How to download Robocode ==<br />
'''''NOTE: Java must be installed in order to install and run Robocode!''''' See the [[Robocode/System Requirements|System Requirements]] page for more info.<br />
<br />
Robocode can be downloaded from the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=37202&package_id=29609 download page at SourceForge]; this page contains all Robocode releases available for download.<br />
<br />
The file you want to download is a JAR (Java ARchive) file, which is in fact a renamed ZIP file used for distributing Java programs. The name of the file will be named something like robocode-setup-x.y.z.jar, where "x.y.z" indicates the version number.<br />
<br />
===Debian/Ubuntu Users===<br />
A slightly out of date version of Robocode is available in the Universe Section of the Repos. This version is not recommended since it isn't supported by the Robocode Community.<br />
<br />
== How to install Robocode ==<br />
If Java has been properly installed (see [[Robocode/System Requirements|System Requirements]]), you should be able to install Robocode by opening the downloaded setup file (the JAR file).<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you could open a command prompt / shell where you change the current directory (using the <code>cd</code> command) to the directory you downloaded the Robocode setup file into, and then type:<br />
<pre><br />
java -jar robocode-setup-x.y.z.jar<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Of course the '''x.y.z''' must be replaced with the Robocode version you are going to install.<br />
<br />
===Ubuntu/Debian===<br />
Ubuntu/Debian users could run into a couple of snags while installing Robocode. The best place to install it at is your ~/ directory (which is /home/account_name/ in short hand).<br />
<br />
If you have a working java compiler already, you should be set. If not, you need to get a package from the repositories with the javac program in it, or let Robocode install Jikes. If you changed your JDK recently (like <code>sun-java5-jdk</code> to <code>sun-java6-jdk</code> or <code>openjdk-6-jdk</code>), you need to run <code>sudo update-alternatives --auto javac</code> in your shell to get the new javac to link correctly.<br />
<br />
== How to get notified about new releases ==<br />
If you want to know ''exactly'' when a new release is available, you can subscribe to the Robocode file release [http://sourceforge.net/export/rss2_projfiles.php?group_id=37202 RSS feed]. The feed will provide you with a link to both the release notes and where to download Robocode.<br />
