'''Warning''': The game is currently under heavy development, and many features are currently missing. This release is an '''alpha version''', 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!

The Linux packages are new and not well-tested, so please report any problems.

== Windows ==

(If you get errors about unmet dependencies, check that you have the Universe repository enabled in `/etc/apt/sources.list`.)

Run the game from the command-line as
{{{

'''Unstable version''': You can try a more up-to-date but less-well-tested version from our [https://launchpad.net/~wfg/+archive/0ad.dev development snapshot PPA], which should be updated each week. Follow the instructions above but use the `ppa:wfg/0ad.dev` repository name.

== Compiling on Linux and OS X ==

You need two files:
 * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz 0ad-unix-build.tar.xz] (3 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.gz 0ad-unix-build.tar.gz] (5 MB)
 * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz 0ad-unix-data.tar.xz] (99 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.gz 0ad-unix-data.tar.gz] (118 MB)
The `.xz` files are smaller but may require you to install [http://tukaani.org/xz/ XZ Utils].

Extract both files to the same location:
{{{
# Extract .xz version into the current directory:
tar xvJf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz
tar xvJf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz

# Or, if your tar is older than 1.22:
xz -cd 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz | tar xv
xz -cd 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz | tar xv

# Or, if you downloaded the .gz version:
tar xvzf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.gz
tar xvzf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.gz
}}}

Then follow the '''[BuildInstructions#Unix build instructions]''' using the files from this release instead of downloading from SVN.
