Installation

This game is written in Perl language, so it depends on perl interpreter. It also needs libtermkey and some extra Perl modules:

• Term::ReadKey
• Term::TermKey
• POE
• POE::Wheel::TermKey

If you don't know how to install Perl modules, look at How to install CPAN modules. If you have problems with installation of Term::TermKey, make sure that libtermkey is available in your operating system. If not - Installing Term::TermKey returns error should help you.

To install Terminal Hero type in your shell:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

In ArchLinux you can use existing PKGBUILD for this game from AUR:

yaourt -S terminalhero-git

The binary will be installed in:

/usr/bin/vendor_perl

You might have to relogin or update your PATH variable by hand.
