Download doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run:
6325f0936f59420d33668754032141cb doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run
Install:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/doom3/bin sudo chown -cR $LOGNAME /opt/doom3 TMPDIR=`pwd` bash ./doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run
Move the start script symlinks to /usr/local/bin:
sudo mv /opt/doom3/bin/doom3* /usr/local/bin/ rmdir /opt/doom3/bin
We still need to install the missing data files - files in green were copied from the installation disk:
$ ls -hgo /opt/doom3/base/ total 1.5G -rw-r--r-- 1 2.2M Apr 1 2014 game00.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 1.5M Sep 12 14:08 game01.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 3.6M Sep 12 14:08 game02.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 944K Sep 12 14:08 game03.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 1.9M Dec 5 2011 game04.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 337M Nov 7 2011 pak000.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 220M Nov 7 2011 pak001.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 398M Nov 7 2011 pak002.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 303M Nov 7 2011 pak003.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 227M Nov 7 2011 pak004.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 540K Sep 12 14:08 pak005.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 214K Sep 12 14:08 pak006.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 188K Sep 12 14:08 pak007.pk4 -rw-r--r-- 1 12K Sep 12 14:08 pak008.pk4
Revert the permissions of the installation directory:
find /opt/doom3/ -exec chmod -c go-w '{}' \; sudo chown -cR root:root /opt/doom3/
After the first start, the serial number ("CD Key") will be requested and then stored in ~/.doom3/base/doomkey.

Known Issues
Doom3 will dump core during exit:
--------- Game Map Shutdown ---------- -------------------------------------- Shutting down sound hardware ----------- Alsa Shutdown ------------ close pcm dlclose -------------------------------------- idRenderSystem::Shutdown() ------------ Game Shutdown ----------- --------- Game Map Shutdown ---------- -------------------------------------- Shutdown event system -------------------------------------- shutdown terminal support Segmentation fault (core dumped)
While this can't be helped at the moment, we can disable the core dump generation by adding an ulimit to the start script:
$ cat /usr/local/bin/doom3
#!/bin/sh
# Needed to make symlinks/shortcuts work.
# the binaries must run with correct working directory
ulimit -c 0
cd "/opt/doom3/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.
exec ./doom.x86 "$@"
