I'd like to get started with the Panda3D game engine, but I can't find any tutorials on setting it up on Linux.

How can I can set up the engine on Ubuntu 14.04? Or could anyone point me in the right direction?

The only build for Trusty is the current unstable build. That might be fine or you could build the development copy from source. This is all extremely documented. Here's how I'd install from the unstable packages:

  1. Download the SDK deb installers and install.
  2. Optionally do the same for the samples (same link)
  3. Follow the tutorial to test the samples.
  4. Continue following the manual to learn more about it.

  • If I used the unstable build, could I install it simply with `sudo apt-get install panda3d`? – TellMeWhy Jul 06 '15 at 14:05

    No, Apt only works for things in a repository and as far as I know, panda3d isn't in one. That's why I suggested downloading the debs manually. – Oli Jul 06 '15 at 15:07
