| 3 | '''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! |

| 5 | We don't have any binary for Mac OS X as we currently don't have any active OS X developer, so you'll have to compile it yourself following the instructions below. Please help us improve the OS X support by reporting any errors you find, and if you are a programmer please submit patches and if you have knowledge of packaging applications on Mac OS X please assist in making an executable package for Mac. |

| 12 | You need two files: |
| 13 | * [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) |
| 14 | * [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) |
| 15 | The `.xz` files are smaller but may require you to install [http://tukaani.org/xz/ XZ Utils]. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Extract both files to the same location: |
| 18 | {{{ |
| 19 | # Extract .xz version into the current directory: |
| 20 | tar xvJf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz |
| 21 | tar xvJf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz |
| 22 | |
| 23 | # Or, if your tar is older than 1.22: |
| 24 | xz -cd 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz | tar xv |
| 25 | xz -cd 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz | tar xv |
| 26 | |
| 27 | # Or, if you downloaded the .gz version: |
| 28 | tar xvzf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.gz |
| 29 | tar xvzf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.gz |
| 30 | }}} |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Then follow the '''[BuildInstructions#Unix build instructions]''' using the files from this release instead of downloading from SVN. |
