How to install Warsow?

Question

I'm trying to install some Linux-based games and I came across Warsow. Downloading it from the USC didn't work because there was no such package (?).

On the website of Warsow I found a guide on how to install it on Ubuntu. This is what it says to do (all as sudo):

wget -O warsow_1.02_unified.tar.gz http://www.warsow.net/download?dl=linux102

then

tar zxvf warsow_1.02_unified.tar.gz

then

cd warsow_1.02
wget -O warsow_1.02_ubuntu12.04.tar.gz http://www.warsow.net/download?dl=precisebins102
tar zxvf warsow_1.02_ubuntu12.04.tar.gz

After this I should be able to run the game using

./warsow

When I do so, it says there is no such command. Now how do I open the game or where can I find it to run it without using the terminal?

Solution

The easy way...

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and install the PlayDeb repository by running:

echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu raring-getdeb games" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playdeb.list
wget -q -O- http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

Then update the package lists and install the game:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install warsow
