PeridexisErrant's Starter Pack bundles Dwarf Fortress with huge community upgrades - graphics, tools, bugfixes, and much more.
It's suitable for anyone - if you've never tried DF before, or played for years. For beginners, everything is bundled and set up for you; any setting can be safely ignored and the default will just work. For advanced players, everything is open: customise, add, remove, update, or replace anything you want to. The Starter Pack means you can spend hours setting up your fortress, instead of your DF install!
There's a thread on the Bay12 forums for feedback, questions, suggestions, or anything else about the pack. The second post has a complete table of contents, and recent changelogs.
Besides the official download page on DFFD (here!), /u/Hecknar maintains df.wicked-code.com, which mirrors every release since 0.40.01! The final 34.11 pack is here. The final 40.24 pack is here. The final 32-bit pack, 0.43.09-r09, is here. If you need an older pack or that site is down, let me know and we'll sort something out. OSX and Linux packs are available at http://dwarffortresswiki.org/Lazy_Newb_Pack
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download (above) and unzip the folder
It's a bundle of portable apps; there's no further installation procedure.
The pack must be able to read/write files though - so don't put it in a "Program Files" folder.
2. [Optional]: Use this tool and the checksum on DFFD to confirm you got an uncorrupted file.
3. [Optional]: Upgrade from an earlier release by copying your old 'Dwarf Fortress 0. xx.yy/data/save/' folder to the new pack.
DO NOT try to upgrade by extracting or copying over an earlier pack.
4. [Optional]: Visit the DF wiki or my tutorials for help learning to play.
Finally, an appeal: Dwarf Fortress is free, and redistributable, because Toady lives off donations. You can support Bay12 Games here. Or you can donate to cover my time and costs here. Even if you decide not to donate, Dwarf Fortress is still free - and so is this unofficial pack.

Same answer as always:

False positives, not actual malware / viruses. They repeatedly pop up due to DFHack, which has to use DLL injection to hook into Dwarf Fortress. Antivirus software often sees this sort of behavior as suspicious, and even after they fix or whitelist the false positive, it tends to eventually show back up.
Ok then, so its safe to download?

Yes.
Can someone help? I get these green bars every time I start the game. I don't know why.

It's your new-ish Intel video drivers. Most of the reports are INTEL UHD Graphics 630, and it affects some premium software, so it'll probably get fixed soon. In the meanwhile, you might be able to play if you set your print mode to 2d instead of twbt or whatever you have it on currently.

Update: I switched my print mode to 2D and it works.
First,thanks for your sharing.
I met a problem that the DF crashed randomly. It just closed.
It is just bother me when I have 2-3 hours playing and it crashed with no saves.
Can you solve this problem?
I've been looking for a good pack to help me get into DF, thanks!
The false positive is kind of a problem. I tried now adding this on my work pc and the antivirus directly blocks the .exe and since i can't touch anything on it, i can't run this.
strange thing is, i used to be able to run this... maybe because it was from a different hard drive (i no longer have it though)?

Antivirus vendors generally have a form or e-mail address available on their website where you can submit false positive reports to them. It might take a few days, but in my experience they usually will update their virus definitions to fix false positives fairly quickly. YMMV.
Of course, due to the nature of memory modification, that false positive for LNP/DFHack will likely show back up eventually, as it has several times over the years.

hm, maybe that's what happened last time, since i was able to play it a couple of months ago. I will check if i can do something like this... otherwise i can play the vanilla game and just add utilities manually...
What should I know if I intend to release any programs/art/scripts from this with my own mod? How many permissions did the author of this need? It would be convenient if I only need to link to the originals.

Yep, linking to the originals is plenty. You're also welcome to use/customise the scripts I use to assemble the pack, from
https://github.com/PeridexisErrant/starter-pack
Oh thank you for the information and such a fast response. I'm happy!
Hi! First I'd like to show my appreciation for the hard work and dedication all of you have for Dwarf Fortress. The passion for this piece of art is astonishing and since day one has not died down even slightly; as a matter of fact it seems to continue to grow into a roaring fire. Very impressive indeed.
With that said, I want to point out that the links you provided for the starter packs - all of them lead me to a forum post stating on the top that the file contents being provided by the poster are deprecated and to find the current version if possible.
Can someone help me out, if I'm missing something I'm gonna feel real stupid. But a simple link to the current version would be greatly appreciated...
again, sorry if I'm just missing something right in front of my face I'll continue searching and will let you know if I solve my own problem.

You are already in the right place. On top there is the "Download Now" button. The current version of Dwarf Fortress is 0.47.04.
Wow!!
thanks. I sure was just staring straight at it.

Hey folks,
I was able to replicate this error by trying to run `Starter Pack Launcher (PyLNP).exe` without first extracting it from its .zip folder. The Pack is intended to be uncompressed before running, and has always done very odd things when run while compressed. Try it out on the desktop first, there's no traditional installer, so it's best not to run it in system folders.
