====== Installing ======

===== Browser edition =====

Nothing to install: open https://retro.theiguru.au/brokenseal/play/ in a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Keyboard, mouse and touch all work. The music starts at the first key press or click, because browsers require that.

**Full screen** is on the bar at the top of the page (or press F11). On a touch screen, typing a name opens the browser's own text box.

===== Windows =====

  - Download ''BrokenSeal-0.6.1-x64.msi'' from https://retro.theiguru.au/brokenseal/ and run it. It installs for your user only, so no administrator password is needed, and adds The Broken Seal to the Start menu and the desktop.
  - The installer is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you first: choose **More info**, then **Run anyway**.

The Windows edition is built and tested under Wine. If something doesn't work on your Windows PC, please say so (see [[brokenseal:online#contact|Contact]]).

To upgrade, run the new installer: it replaces the old version and keeps your saves. To remove it, use **Settings > Apps**.

===== Linux =====

  - Download ''brokenseal_0.6.1_amd64.deb'' and install it: <code>sudo apt install ./brokenseal_0.6.1_amd64.deb</code>
  - Start it from the Games menu, or run ''brokenseal''.

The package is for 64-bit Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint and other Debian-based systems. Installing a newer package upgrades the old one.

On Linux the music plays through ''pw-play'', ''paplay'' or ''aplay'', whichever is installed. Set ''BROKENSEAL_MUTE=1'' to start without sound.

===== Checking a download =====

''SHA256SUMS'' on the downloads page lists the checksum of each file. On Linux: <code>sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing</code>
