# Dwarf Fortress

From ArchWiki

## Installation

Install package dwarffortress from official repositories.

## Dwarf Therapist

Dwarf Therapist is an almost essential mod to tune dwarvish behaviour (makes life a lot easier). For it to work on current kernels you will need to disable a kernel security feature, since dwarf therapist directly accesses and modifies the memory of a running dwarf fortress instance. This setting is called `kernel.yama.ptrace_scope` and defaults to `1`. You need to set it to `0` for dwarf therapist to work:

    # sysctl -w kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=0

For more information see sysctl.

Note: You should not set this to `0` in `/etc/sysctl.d/` by default since it is a valid security feature! It is best to set it manually whenever you play dwarf fortress and reset it back to `1` when you are done playing.
