Vectron needs to be compiled before being used. For this, you need GNU Make, Python (used to generate some sprites), and rsvg-convert (to render sprites as PNG). On Ubuntu, the following command will give you the dependencies:

sudo apt install make librsvg2-bin

Capture the location of the share/freeciv21 directory.

Add the local setup above to an environment variable:

• Edit .bashrc: nano ~/.bashrc
• Add something like this to the bottom: export FREECIV_DATA_PATH=~/some/path/project-vectron:~/install/freeciv21/share/freeciv21
• Source the file: . ~/.bashrc

As changes are made to the *.svg files, export them to *.png files:

• .../project-vectron$ make
