"This is a free and open source empire-building strategy game inspired by the history of human civilization."

 
 --Freeciv

The game reminds me of Civilization by Sid Meier. Its user interface is very similar, but once you start playing the game, you will notice a lot more features and possibilities that are built into the game.

Installing Freeciv

We can install the server from the Raspberry repository:

sudo apt-get –t jessie install freeciv-server 

Several libraries will be installed during this time. You may be presented with a blue screen, which asks you if you want to restart some service in order to complete the package installation. It is safe to agree with this. This can take several minutes to complete.

Configuring Freeciv

The default settings are good enough for you to play straight away. You can start the server by typing the following in the console:

freeciv-server 

Tip

The server should not be run with the sudo command or as the root user but as a normal unprivileged user.
