df-lnp-installer is a shell script that installs the Dwarf Fortress Lazy Newb Pack. It downloads and builds a DF installation from available source code and binaries. Special thanks to kiryl for his hard work and Dwarf Therapist ini file for the new version, without him this would not be possible.

There are several preassembled packages which can be downloaded for Dwarffortress V0.40.04
