Debian/Ubuntu. This is how it's done.

#Using the engine
To start an AGS game, just run ags with the game directory or the game
file as parameter, e.g.

ags /path/to/game/

or

ags game.exe

The configuration file **acsetup.cfg** in the game directory will be used
if present. Sometimes a configuration file coming with a game can cause problems,
so if a game doesn't start, try deleting **acsetup.cfg** first.

For midi music playback, you have to download GUS patches. We recommend
"Richard Sanders's GUS patches" from this address:

http://alleg.sourceforge.net/digmid.html

A direct link is here:

Rename that file to **patches.dat** and place it directly into your home folder.
