Setup and requirements
This page describes how to setup your Linux machine in order to develop and play Stride games.
Setup
In order to run games made for Linux, you'll need a Linux PC with a graphics card that supports Vulkan, along with the following packages:
FreeType
To render fonts, we use the FreeType library. The minimum required version is 2.6 and can be installed with your distribution's package manager:
sudo apt install libfreetype6-dev
OpenAL
To play sounds and music, we use the OpenAL library. It can be installed with your distribution's package manager:
sudo apt install libopenal-dev
SDL2
To run games on Linux, we use the SDL2 library which provides the ability to create windows, handle mouse, keyboard and joystick events. The minimum required version is 2.0.4 and can be installed with your distribution's package manager:
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
