Setting up Linux version

Build

See the PCSX2 Documentation/Compiling on Linux document.

GNU/Linux packages

Arch Linux

If you are running 64-bit Arch Linux, you will need to enable access to the multilib repository, so you can obtain 32-bit libraries. You can do this by uncommenting the following lines in /etc/pacman.conf:

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Next, you can simply install PCSX2 using the package manager:

pacman -S pcsx2

Debian/Ubuntu based distros

WARNING: It requires a CPU with SSE2 instructions. If your CPU does not support this instruction set, it does not have enough horsepower to run this emulator.

openSUSE

openSUSE users need to add Packman repository. This will add the repo for version 13.2:

zypper ar -f http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_13.2/ packman 

If using a different version of openSUSE (13.x, Tumbleweed, Factory) please visit Packman

(please only install the i586 package, x86_64 one has problems and so far is unsupported)

zypper install pcsx2.i586

Fedora

You can install PCSX2 from the rpmfusion-nonfree repository.
