There wasn't a retail Linux version of this game, instead the developers provided a downloadable tarball with Linux binaries to use with the Windows CD. In the readme that comes with it says:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
To install the Kingpin files, you will need to install Kingpin under win32,
and then mount the installation folder under linux, and copy the installed
files across.

Kingpin requires approx 550mb of free hard drive space.
</syntaxhighlight>
There is also a other you won't need to do that.
===Install the game===
To install the required utils:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install unshield xxd
</syntaxhighlight>
Next, let's say you want to install the game in <span style="color: #ff0000;">$HOME/games/kingpin</span>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

mkdir $HOME/games/kingpin
unshield -d $HOME/games/kingpin -L x /media/cdrom/kingpin/data1.cab
cd $HOME/games/kingpin

===Make sound working===
See if snd-pcm-oss is working
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
lsmod | grep snd_pcm_oss
</syntaxhighlight>
If doesn't show any info:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo modprobe snd-pcm-oss
</syntaxhighlight>
Optional (Mixer):
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo modprobe snd_mixer_oss
</syntaxhighlight>
It should now show info with:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
lsmod | grep snd_pcm_oss
</syntaxhighlight>
Test sound with:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp1
</syntaxhighlight>
CTRL+C to cancel test
Now to fix sound with kingpin:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
echo kingpin 0 0 direct | sudo tee /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
