     3'''Warning''': The game is currently under heavy development, and many features are currently missing. This release is a '''development snapshot''', not a completed playable game - please check our [http://www.wildfiregames.com/0ad/ site] and [http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showforum=135 forums] for future updates!
     4
     5== Windows ==
     6
     7Download and run [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-win32.exe 0ad-win32.exe] (114 MB) (self-extracting [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip]), then select a location to extract the files. This includes all the source code and data files, and precompiled binaries.
     8
     9Run the game from `binaries\system\pyrogenesis.exe`. If you want to modify and compile the game yourself, follow the [BuildInstructions#Windows build instructions] using the files from this release instead of downloading from SVN.

     16== Linux packages ==
     17
     18Unofficial packages may exist or be in development for several distros:
     19 * [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278541 Gentoo]
     20 * [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28560 Arch] (current out of date)
     21 * [https://bugs.launchpad.net/getdeb.net/+bug/543277 Ubuntu] (currently unavailable)
     22If you use a different distro, or if these packages are outdated, or if you want to edit or debug the code, see the next section. If you want to help create a package yourself, we have some [BuildInstructions#CreatingLinuxpackages rough guidance].
     23
     24== Compiling on Linux and OS X ==
     25
     26You need two files:
     27 * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz 0ad-unix-build.tar.xz] (6 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.bz2 0ad-unix-build.tar.bz2] (8 MB)
     28 * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz 0ad-unix-data.tar.xz] (92 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2 0ad-unix-data.tar.bz2] (106 MB)
     29The `.xz` files are smaller but may require you to install [http://tukaani.org/xz/ XZ Utils].

     49tar xvjf 0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2
     50}}}
