all dependencies should be installed, also 'dev' packages libsdl -dev...
README=\
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igroglaz/Tangaria_release/master/tangaria-setup.sh
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libsdl1.2debian
libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libncurses5-dev
libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev

after compilation, 'Tangaria/games/pwmangclient' file should be created,
you can also see the information in terminal 'Tangaria/pwmangclient-launcher.sh'

...That's kind of unclear, but thanks.  What's this about the README?  I see a "sudo" in there, should I put that part and what's below it into the terminal?

This game looks really cool, but unfortunately I'm on a Chromebook (not by choice).  That means I can't run .exe files and have to do most things through Google's build-in Linux emulator called "Crostini", which is Debian *based*, but *not Debian*, so unless someone has Crostini/Chromebook-specific instructions (which thankfully Dwarf Fortress does) then it's about a 50/50 chance of it working or it having some unaccounted for error that nobody online has thoroughly discussed.

You might try to use shell script (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igroglaz/Tangaria_release/master/tangaria-setup.sh) to install it under Linux; I suppose it will work. If not, please report to us so we will be able to help.

Well, first off I had to change permissions with the file, so I did chmod u+x tangaria-setup.sh and the first time it tried to install, this happened:

  inflating: Tangaria_release-master/zlib1.dll 
./tangaria-setup.sh: line 737: make: command not found
*info* running aclocal (-I m4)
./autogen.sh: 38: aclocal: not found
*error* aclocal failed. (exit code = 127)

I did some googling and tried getting around this by using
sudo apt-get install autotools-dev
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt install make

Which allowed it to progress somewhat, and now the error is:

Tried again, this time adding (before running the shell script)
sudo apt-get install gcc
Which made it spit out whole loads of text, but I think that got it to work.

               
              _,
  _._   ,'._,' 
-'   '-'       
               
  ./           
  <_n_         
   'B'\)       
   /^>         
  '  '         
    tangaria.com
               

So...  How do I actually launch the program now?

ChromeOS wants to claim there's some kind of launch icon; however, clicking this does nothing.  Is there a command I can use in the terminal?
Update: After restarting my computer, clicking the Tangaria launch icon now does...  Still nothing, as my taskbar suggests it is trying to open but accomplishing nothing but bogging my processor down until I restart (can't even use task manager to stop it).

I am a casual initiate of Hermeticism; magic is real, genuinely, but it's not special and exceptionally commonplace.  We as humans perform magic through our abiltity to communicate, in more than just words, and together bring something from being only imaginary to materially real.  We use our communication to impact one another in potentially life-changing ways, all the time.  We empower one-another through teaching and imparting experiences; we can harm each other in very real ways with hurtful words alone.

The power of music is a good example.  I get reminded of a musician in the 70's named Fela Kuti from Nigeria, who's 1977 album "Zombie" being released lead to his mother being killed by Nigerian MPs and his commune being destroyed because of how genuinely threatening to the corrupt government's power.

Art is a strong form of communication in its ability to make someone think or feel when words would fail.

With all this in mind, Tarn is a wizard, and truly, Dwarf Fortress is his greatest arcane work, the magnum opus he seeks and will continue to refine, nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, rubedo, until he has a storytelling Philosopher's Stone, forever fresh, with stories that never end, and this Great Work will outlast him and us as well (should things go well), playable until personal computers become obsolete.

If you're running a VM of Linux, you should be able to run 47.05 the old-fashioned way (not off software manager). It takes just one line to get the dependencies. The installation guide on the Wiki is quite good. Save should be fine to move forward a version.

The DF wiki has one section specifically for installing it on chromebook, which results in the outdated version.  Using other linux methods isn't so straightforward-- the version of Linux is a propriatary, bastardized combination of Debian and Ubuntu called "Crostini" that works juuust differently enough from other distributions to make doing things the Ubuntu/Debian way an uphill battle.

You can probably add the experimental repo to /etc/apt/sources.list, it has .05 - here's someone doing that with testing to get an updated version of Audacity on Crostini. If that works we can update the wiki.

Your efforts are admirable, but that's sadly not the issue.  I was able to download 47.05 using the existing instructions on the wiki (repositories, dependencies, and using the wget command)-- and Crostini refused to acknowledge it.  Literally downloaded the compressed file through the terminal, only for the terminal to then pretend the file did not exist and so I could not unzip it.  I wasn't in the wrong directory or anything, Crostini is just anti-consumer garbage.  I then tried uncompressing the file with an app through the ChromeOS and putting the folder back into my Linux files.  After this, Crostini was able to see the files, but it just told me I lacked permissions to run dwarf fortress (./df specifically), and every time I'd give it permissions it just found another file it lacked permission for.      Fun fun fun with Google's worthless regressive technology.

That's an interesting idea.  I imagine "milk" from said creature would probably still require processing in some way to be turned into a preserved/barreled alcoholic beverage, but at the same time, it might be able to be consumed "raw" to at least fulfil a dwarf's need for alcohol without causing the same negative thoughts that only having access to water can?

But even with that outer door open they just won't come up.

Yeah, invaders have to think they can actually reach the inside of your fortress.  It has to actually be open, or else they psychically know there's no entrances, and if you close it back up they know instantly that it has been closed off.  You gotta open both doors to lead them to the traps, then close one or both doors once the goblins are triggering the traps, but before they enter your fortress fully.

So I was able to get LNP to load a terminal; as it turns out the name for the default Crostini terminal is x-terminal-emulator
However...  Now it just opens up the terminal and then nothing happens.  Neither Dwarf Fortress nor DFHack launch, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, or what I'm supposed to do next.
