Linux and other platforms (from source)

Linux and FreeBSD builds are made from the all-in-one source package: unpack it, then run "./configure && make" followed by "make install" and "make datainstall". You need hardware-accelerated OpenGL plus FreeGLUT, PLIB, OpenAL, libpng/zlib and ogg/vorbis - usually provided by your distribution. Default locations are /usr/local/bin/torcs, /usr/local/lib/torcs (must be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you do not use the torcs shell) and /usr/local/share/games/torcs; personal configuration lives under $HOME/.torcs.

Good to know before you install

Linux distributions sometimes package TORCS; those packages can be quite old or stripped down, so building from the all-in-one source archive is usually the better route.
On Linux and FreeBSD, personal configuration and race results live under $HOME/.torcs. On current Windows releases they live under AppData\Local\torcs in your user profile.
