Install Stunt Rally 2.2:
The PlayDeb has made the new release into its repository for Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy. So we can follow the steps below to install it.
1. Add the PlayDeb repository
Press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run commands below to add the repository:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu saucy-getdeb games" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playdeb.list'
Then get the key:
wget -q -O- http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
2. Install the required package: ttf-liberation
The game requires package ttf-liberation which is available in all other Ubuntu releases except Ubuntu 13.10. Don’t know why, but you can download it from:
3. Check for udpates and install Stunt Rally
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y stuntrally
Once installed, open the game or track editor from menu or Unity Dash.
For source code and Windows EXE installer, go to sourceforge download page.
For more details go to Stunt Rally project homepage
The game should not require ttf-liberation. All the used fonts are shipped with StuntRally. I’d like to know what makes you think that it’s needed.
I got an error missing dependencies ttf-liberation when I was installing the game from repository
