^^^^^^
60+
61+
OpenRCT2 is in the Debian repositories as of Bookworm, released in 2023. You can install it with::
62+
63+
sudo apt install openrct2
64+
65+
Also note that Debian has the game-data-packager, which can help you extract the RCT2 files more easily. OpenRCT2
66+
will automatically look in the appropriate directories. This is however, not fully documented yet.
67+
68+
Also keep these things in mind:
69+
1. Debian removes a few objects, so some parks may not load. You can however take these from a ZIP build of OpenRCT2 and
70+
add them to your custom content folder, or switch a build that is directly supplied by OpenRCT2 instead.
71+
2. Debian does not update its OpenRCT2 package. To get around this, you can either enable the backports repository or
72+
use one of the other options instead.
73+
74+
If the repository version of OpenRCT2 is not a good fit, you can still use the Launcher or AppImage builds,
75+
or just compile OpenRCT2 yourself.
