All packages are available at GitHub.
Please report problems with any of these packages to the Enigma mailing list.

Installation on Linux:

The source is available as ".tar.gz", compile it with
  ./configure
  make
and install with
  [sudo] make install
Binaries might be added later on, but right now we have no packages fitting any distribution. If you can provide us with some, we will happily add them to GitHub.

Installation on Windows:

Choose "Enigma-1.30-windows7and10.exe" if you want to install Enigma the regular way. You might need to first uninstall old versions. Alternatively, you can choose one of the two zip files. It will unpack to a directory, from which you can run Enigma directly, no further installation neccessary.

Installation on Mac:

Choose "Enigma-1.30.dmg", it is tested for Mojave and Big Sur, and should run also on Catalina. Homebrew is not required for the dmg. We could not test whether it works on M1 (Arm) based Macs; please inform us about your results. As an alternative, anyone with Homebrew can now install from the command line using
  brew install enigma
and can install as an app bundle in /Applications using
  brew install --cask --no-quarantine enigma

Up Compiling from Source Code under Unix

In case your Unix distribution does not provide Enigma packages you may want to download the source package and compile Enigma for your own. This is usually a simple straight forward task.

Enigma depends on a few libraries and tools. Most Unix systems come with these libraries pre-installed these days. But for compilation you may need additional '-devel' packages besides the runtime packages of the libraries. Please verify that the libraries SDL, SDL_ttf, SDL_image, SDL_mixer and Xerces are installed on your system.

For a complete list of libraries and programs that must be installed to compile Enigma, please refer to the file 'doc/REQUIREMENTS' that is included in the Enigma source package.

Once you have everything installed, building Enigma is as easy as typing

  ./configure && make && make install

in the enigma directory.

If your distribution does not provide the necessary packages, you can download them from the following web sites:

If you want to compile the current git development version, you will additionally need curl and libcurl4.

Up Announce Mailing List

If your are keen on being up to date on Enigma, we offer an announcement service for new releases via email. Just register yourself on the announce mailing list. The mail volume is limited to one mailing per beta or final relase version of Enigma, which did not yet exceed half a dozen mails per year.
