Obtaining the latest release

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 site and forums for future updates!

Windows

Download and run ​0ad-win32.exe (114 MB) (self-extracting ​7-Zip), then select a location to extract the files. This includes all the source code and data files, and precompiled binaries.

Run the game from binaries\system\pyrogenesis.exe. If you want to modify and compile the game yourself, follow the build instructions using the files from this release instead of downloading from SVN.

SHA1 digest (to verify the download): 

26b7dbcf9ce346c278ac5e2bacc583f61069534c  0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-win32.exe

Linux packages

Unofficial packages may exist or be in development for several distros:

If you use a different distro, or if these packages are outdated, or if you want to edit or debug the code, see the next section.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 rough guidance.

Compiling on Linux and OS X

You need two files:

The .xz files are smaller but may require you to install ​XZ Utils.

ba9ed5d4545e29b19c27f33b68c605342337ed7f  0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.bz2
9d2c25f1ec54c5b6a3a8ff59577d3effb35b4eb8  0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz
06fbf94bb38f3b3069df6efe0ccf93c6dd1ffc56  0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2

Extract both files to the same location: 

# Extract .xz version into the current directory:
tar xvJf 0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz
tar xvJf 0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz
# Or, if your tar is older than 1.22:
xz -cd 0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz | tar xv
xz -cd 0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz | tar xv
# Or, if you have the .bz2 version:
tar xvjf 0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.bz2
tar xvjf 0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2

Then follow the build instructions using the files from this release instead of downloading from SVN.
