1Narcissu 2 comes in two parts: the game data and the game engine,
2which in the case of this English edition is a relatively new one
3called Ponscripter.  This tarball only contains the game data, along
4with a simple installer script: you need to acquire Ponscripter
5separately.

7There may be Ponscripter binaries for various common OSes available
8from wherever you downloaded this package.  If you're from a utopian
9future, then Ponscripter may even be available in your OS's package
10repository.  If neither of these is the case, you're going to have to
11grab the source code package instead and compile your own binary; due
12to the terms of the GPL, anyone who's distributing the Windows or Mac
13versions of Narcissu 2 is obliged to distribute the source package as
14well, so you can probably find a copy of that wherever you got this
15package from, or you could just go straight to http://dev.haeleth.net
16and get the latest version.

18Once you've installed Ponscripter, you can proceed to install this
19package:
20
21  sudo sh install.sh            # to install in /usr/local
22  sh install.sh --prefix=$HOME  # to install in your home directory
23
24Then you can play it by running the command "narcissu2", and you can
25uninstall it by running the command "narcissu2 --uninstall".  See
26narcissu2(6) for details.

28Alternatively you can just put the data directory anywhere you like
29and run the game by passing the path to Ponscripter directly.  See
30ponscr(6) for details.

33  TROUBLESHOOTING
34
35* On some platforms, the installer will not recognise Ponscripter even
36  when it's installed and in your $PATH.  This is normally because
37  sudo is running with a conservative environment that has a more
38  restricted $PATH.  In such cases, try telling it explicitly where to
39  look:
40
41    sudo sh install.sh --ponscr `which ponscr`
