mention new Linux packages

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 (120 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):

b704eb3df6a4789a601f567f210428da61d125fc  0ad-r07732-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If you use a different distro, or if these packages are outdated, or if you want to edit or debug the code, see the next section.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.

SHA1 digests:

3d2f908158f4cd0b4dae209192ccf458d0abbf27  0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz
b006836012047d4d6d301ddc85b0fe9d6d4c8dff  0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.bz2
8cfcff95005d14c6f7b809303b701545f0779b1f  0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz
d7b41d6bf7c697640e4b3edccb5916961ae427a5  0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2

Extract both files to the same location:

# Extract .xz version into the current directory:
tar xvJf 0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz
tar xvJf 0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz
# Or, if your tar is older than 1.22:
xz -cd 0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz | tar xv
xz -cd 0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz | tar xv
# Or, if you have the .bz2 version:
tar xvjf 0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.bz2
tar xvjf 0ad-r07732-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2

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

Experimental Linux packages

Warning: These are very new and have not been tested, so they may not work at all. If you try them, please report any success or failure on the forum.

Debian 5.0

  • sudo sh -e'echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bitshuffler:/0ad/Debian_5.0/ /" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/0ad.list'
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install 0ad
    • It should prompt "Install these packages without verification?" - these packages are not checked or trusted by Debian. You should not install them in security-critical environments. If you understand and accept the danger of installing unknown software, answer "y".
  • /usr/bin/pyrogenesis_dbg

OpenSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva
