So I’ve just been using playfic so far but I’d like to actually download it. The only thing I can find is this website
But my computer seems to think that it is unsafe. Is this the right thing?
You’re in the right place, but follow the first line on that page: “Modern, open-source releases of the core software are here”.

Thank you!
I am not sure which Inform download to use on the Raspberry Pi 5 for installation, or if that is even possible. I am familiar with the Linux command line, but am not sure what file to use or exactly what the next steps are. Can anyone give me some pointers, or tell me that this is not really practical? (I’d prefer the former, of course!) Thanks in advance.
I can suggest you try installing the flatpak version. But I don’t know if it will work.
Another option is to build it yourself from source.
Or if you need Inform 6 you can type sudo apt install inform
Thanks. I decided to try it the hard way and build it from source. The instructions here (inform7-ide/BUILD.md at main · ptomato/inform7-ide · GitHub) were great. I had a couple snafus unrelated to the instructions (needed to install gettext to make one of the commands work and also kept getting a “could not resolve host github” error which cleared up an hour later. So happy to have this working on the Pi!
