Compiling on Linux
You need two files:
- 0ad-unix-build.tar.xz (8 MB) or 0ad-unix-build.tar.gz (10 MB)
- 0ad-unix-data.tar.xz (297 MB) or 0ad-unix-data.tar.gz (368 MB)
The .xz
files are smaller but may require you to install XZ Utils.
Extract both files to the same location:
# Extract .xz version into the current directory: tar xvJf 0ad-r11863-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz tar xvJf 0ad-r11863-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz # Or, if your tar is older than 1.22: xz -cd 0ad-r11863-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz | tar xv xz -cd 0ad-r11863-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz | tar xv # Or, if you downloaded the .gz version: tar xvzf 0ad-r11863-alpha-unix-build.tar.gz tar xvzf 0ad-r11863-alpha-unix-data.tar.gz
Then follow the build instructions using the files from this release instead of downloading from SVN.
How to get info on new releases
There are several ways to be notified when a new release is out, as well as getting notified on other updates, either by subscribing to the email mail list, following 0 A.D. on Twitter or Facebook, or the RSS feed.
