Download it and copy it to a directory in your `$PATH` (e.g. `/usr/local/bin` or `/usr/bin`).\n\n### Debian/Ubuntu\n\n[A `.deb` package is available for Debian/Ubuntu](https://github.com/smallhadroncollider/ascii-runner/releases). Download it and install with `dpkg -i \u003cpackage-name\u003e`.\n\n### Fedora\n\nRun `sudo dnf install ncurses-compat-libs` then download and run binary as described below.\n\n### Stack\n\nIf none of the above options work you can build ASCII-runner using [Stack](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/). First [install Stack on your machine](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/#how-to-install). Then clone the repo and run `stack build \u0026\u0026 stack install`: this will build ascii-runner and then install it in `~/.local/bin` (so make sure that directory is in your `$PATH`). Building from scratch can take a long time and occasionally doesn't work the first time (if this happens try running it again).\n\n### Windows\n\nUnfortunately the `vty` package, which this program is heavily dependent on, doesn't currently support Windows. This may change in the future, but for now it means that ASCII-runner is not available for Windows. However, you could [install WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) with Ubuntu and then follow the Ubuntu instructions above.\n\n## Usage\n\nRun `runner`\n\nOptionally pass a number for game speed, e.g. `runner 15`. The number represents the number of columns to move per second. 10 is quite easy, 30 is quite hard.\n\n- `Space` to jump\n- `q` to quit\n- `Enter` to restart after game over\n\n## FAQ\n\n### Why?\n\nWhy not\n\n### Seriously?\n\nYup\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsmallhadroncollider%2Fascii-runner","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsmallhadroncollider%2Fascii-runner","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsmallhadroncollider%2Fascii-runner/lists"}
