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):

678ddf059300b6912a04556f93f00921fe1cc2d3  0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-win32.exe

Linux packages

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

• ​Gentoo
• ​Arch Linux (AUR)e
• ​Ubuntu (currently unavailable)

If you use a different distro, or if these packages are outdated, or if you want to edit or debug the code, see the next section.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

• ​0ad-unix-build.tar.xz (6 MB) or ​0ad-unix-build.tar.bz2 (8 MB)
• ​0ad-unix-data.tar.xz (92 MB) or ​0ad-unix-data.tar.bz2 (106 MB)

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

eb3b061e6e82fc181887ad75622584f4dae7de3a  0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2

Extract both files to the same location:

# Extract .xz version into the current directory:
tar xvJf 0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz
tar xvJf 0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz
# Or, if your tar is older than 1.22:
xz -cd 0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz | tar xv
xz -cd 0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz | tar xv
# Or, if you have the .bz2 version:
tar xvjf 0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.bz2
tar xvjf 0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2

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