PPA (Ubuntu focal, jammy, noble)

sudo apt install p2p-chess

From .deb (Any Debian based system)

sudo apt install ./p2p-chess.deb

Manual build (For all other distros)

git clone https://github.com/camtisocial/p2p-chess.git
cd p2p-chess/src
g++ std=c++17 -pthread -o /usr/bin/p2p-chess ./*.cpp -I. 

Usage

• Just run p2p-chess in your terminal and navigate with your choice of wasd, arrows, or hjkl.
• use /commands in game (/help, /resign, /draw, /t, etc.)
• run with the -c flag to see the color options for your terminal
• adjust options in usr/share/p2p-chess/settings.ini

issues

• if p2p-chess is crashing on startup, its likely an issue with the filepath for stockfish. Try:

which stockfish

and make sure it is the same path as what's in /usr/share/p2p/chess/settings.ini if not, install it with:

sudo apt install stockfish

Otherwise, please make a bug report and I will address it as fast as I can
