Hi Remo,

1. There is another area you need to go to which is above the area you cleared. Follow the river north and on the west bank, and at the top of the map you will see an entrance to another area. Its not too clear and I expect it will be changed in the beta version.

2. Im not sure about your platform but when I downloaded the windows files from the website, all I had to do was extract the files and run flare.exe.

The latest version of Flare is 0.17.1, not 1.07.

I'll assume the tarball you've downloaded is a source package.

• First, we'll need to open a terminal emulator. I've never used LXDE, but you can probably open a terminal emulator with Ctrl-T or Ctrl-Alt-T.
• Before we can compile Flare, we'll need to make sure that our system is up to date and that we've got all the needed dependencies. You can update your package database with
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo ("substitute user do") is a command that can execute a program as another user. If you don't specify which user, it'll default to root (which is similar to the administrator account you might know from non-UNIX systems). apt ("advanced package tool") is the Debian package manager, and apt-get is the submodule of this manager that is responsible for downloading stuff from the internet.
• Now we have the newest package database, but we still need to update the actual packages. For this, we do
  sudo apt-get upgrade
• Let's now install the needed dependencies. The following command should be suffice:
  sudo apt-get install cmake libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
• We're now done with our preparation. Let's go to the directory where the tarball is. Since you've downloaded it from your browser, it shoud probably be in ~/Downloads:
  cd ~/Downloads
• Extract the archive (you can skip this step if you've already extracted the tarball):
  tar xf flare_linux_v017_1.tar.gz
• Change to the freshly extracted directory:
  cd flare_linux_v017_1
• Generate the Makefile:
  cmake .
  cmake is a portable build system for C/C++ applications.
• Build the game:
  make
  make takes the Makefile created by cmake and uses these instructions to build the project
• You should now be able to start the game by running./flare
• (Optional) If you want to install Flare on your system, runsudo make install
  The game will be installed to /usr/local, which is fine because that way it doens't collide with the version from the software center (which installs to /usr).

Flare might be a little buggy regarding where to look for the game mods currently (that is in the development version)
I don't know if that was already the case for the released version 0.17.1

However a question is discussed here https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-game/issues/160
