For computers running Linux or other UNIX-like operating systems with installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE), please download the following file: onlineworld_3_909_eng_linux.tgz (42 MB) for Linux / UNIX System configuration: Pentium IV / Athlon with 2 GHz or comparable / 512 MB RAM minimum / approx. 60 MB disc space Installation and running
Please unpack the archive into a folder where you have full write privileges at all times. You may use, for example, your home directory or also your desktop. Inside the folder "COW-Client," please run the script "Create-Desktop-Icon.sh." This will create an icon called "Catan Online World" on your desktop. To run the COW client, please activate this icon (usually by double-clicking it). Hints for playing in full screen mode
So far, full-screen operation could not be tested successfully for Linux. However, when using Gnome, the panels (main menu bar above, tray below) can be hidden using the function “Hide - Show Buttons,” which – for a monitor resolution of 1024x768 – also enables full-screen game in the 1024x768 window mode.
Hints for Java
To install or to update the installed Java Runtime Environment, please use the package management application that was installed with your Linux distribution. If you are using Ubuntu, the package management application is called “Synaptic.” You will find it in the “System” menu. Please install the package “sun-java6-jre” and all packages it requires to run properly. Note:
Please type “java -version” in a console window to check your Java version. In case you have installed several Java versions in a parallel fashion, you have to pre-select Java 1.6 as the version to be used. In Ubuntu you can achieve this through "sudo update-alternatives --config java."

For operating the COW client, "Java 2 Standard Edition, version 5.0", or short: J2SE 5 or Java 1.5 is required. However, we strongly recommend the use of J2SE 6 or Java 1.6.
