CouchDoom v0.7.2
Download the file for your system below, unpack it anywhere, and start CouchDoom. No Python or installer needed.
- Windows:
CouchDoom-…-windows-x64.zip, then runCouchDoom.exe. On the "unknown publisher" warning, click More info → Run anyway (the app isn't code-signed). - macOS:
CouchDoom-…-macos-arm64.zip(Apple Silicon) orCouchDoom-…-macos-x64.zip(Intel, macOS 10.15 or newer), then openCouchDoom.app. If macOS says it can't be opened, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. - Linux:
CouchDoom-…-linux-x64.tar.gz(PCs) orCouchDoom-…-linux-arm64.tar.gz(ARM boards such as the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5), then run./CouchDoom. Needs glibc 2.28 or newer (Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 10, RHEL 8 and later). On Arch you can also buildpackaging/aur/PKGBUILDwithmakepkg -si.
You need DoomRunner, ZDL or Doom Launcher with at least one game set up, or just GZDoom, UZDoom or VKDoom with an IWAD. CouchDoom finds its settings automatically; if you have more than one launcher, it asks which to use (switch later with L3 / F4).
New in 0.7.2
- Linux: games no longer fail to start with errors like "GLIBCXX not found". CouchDoom's own libraries were leaking into the games it launched; they now start with a clean environment.
See How to use.txt in the download for controls and optional MIDI music setup.
