= 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 [http://www.wildfiregames.com/0ad/ site] and [http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showforum=135 forums] for future updates!

== Windows ==

Download and run [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07419-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.

Run 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.

== Linux packages ==

Unofficial packages may exist or be in development for several distros:
 * [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278541 Gentoo]
 * Arch Linux (AUR): both [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36132 releases] and [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28560 latest svn] packages.
 * [https://bugs.launchpad.net/getdeb.net/+bug/543277 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If you use a different distro, or if these packages are outdated, or if you want to edit or debug the code, see the next section.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 [BuildInstructions#CreatingLinuxpackages rough guidance].

== Compiling on Linux and OS X ==

You need two files:
 * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz 0ad-unix-build.tar.xz] (6 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.bz2 0ad-unix-build.tar.bz2] (8 MB)
 * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz 0ad-unix-data.tar.xz] (92 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07419-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2 0ad-unix-data.tar.bz2] (106 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-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 [BuildInstructions#Unix build instructions] using the files from this release instead of downloading from SVN.
