nudoku is a ncurses based sudoku game.

I heard rumors of nudoku being in the AUR.

Contained in official stable repositories since Debian Stretch.

apt-get install nudoku

You need to enable the EPEL repository and run:

yum install nudoku

nudoku is in the official Fedora repository since June 2016:

dnf install nudoku

Contained in official repo since 2018-02-16. Before that you had to use strangeland-overlay.

emerge nudoku -a

nudoku is available in the Nix package manager.

nudoku is available in the Nix package manager.

Since openSUSE Leap 42.1 (and Tumbleweed) you can find nudoku in the official repository.

zypper in nudoku

nudoku is available on Void.

There is a formula for Homebrew

brew install nudoku

• ncurses
• cairo (optional: for PDF/PNG output)

Get the latest .tar.xz release and extract it. Then run:

./configure
make
./src/nudoku

For the git version you will have to do:

git clone https://github.com/jubalh/nudoku
cd nudoku
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
./src/nudoku

Add -DDEBUG to make to have some debug output.

nudoku can also output sudokus in PDF and PNG format (see man nudoku -p/-i/-n). You need to have cairo installed and configure with:

./configure --enable-cairo

For normal interactive GUI run nudoku. To print two PDF pages with 8 hard sudokus run nudoku -p riddle.pdf -n 8 -d hard. To get a PNG with an easy sudoku run nudoku -i sudoku.png -d easy. See man nudoku to learn more.

For i18n support use make like this:

make install
LANGUAGE=es
./src/nudoku

You can replace es with any other language suported (suported languages are listed in po/LINGUAS file).
