Setting up Linux version
The following is a guide on how to install the latest stable version of PCSX2 on Linux. If you want to try the latest unstable builds, please refer to this guide here.
Installation
Arch Linux
There are 2 packages: a stable and a development. Both available for 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. The stable version is available in official repositories based on latest release of pcsx2. The development version is available in AUR (Arch User Repository) as a Git VCS package, which means it will automatically get the latest source code from Git prior building the package.
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
For the stable version, you can simply install pcsx2 using the package manager:
pacman -S pcsx2
For the development version, you have to be download the source tarball from AUR, extract it and build it locally, or use the prefered AUR helper. In order to build manually:
curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/pcsx2-git.tar.gz tar xvf pcsx2-git cd pcsx2-git makepkg -s
Debian/Ubuntu based distros
Add one of the following two repositories:
Gregory's PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gregory-hainaut/pcsx2.official.ppa
PCSX2 Daily Builds PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pcsx2-team/pcsx2-daily
Update repository listings:
sudo apt-get update
Install PCSX2:
sudo apt-get install pcsx2
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
