[edit] Installing OpenArena

[edit] Windows

[edit] System Requirements

• Minimum
  • Pentium II 233MHz / AMD K6-2 300MHz or equally powerful processor
  • 64MB of system memory
  • OpenGL supported video card with 16MB of video memory. (Voodoo Banshee, TNT and up)
  • 300MB of hard drive space

Technically, the game can run on a 486DX machine but for minimal requirements we expect a certain level of playability to draw the line.

[edit] Installation (ZIP)

1. Download the latest zip archive(s) of OpenArena from one of the Download Mirrors or BitTorrent.
2. Unzip the archive(s) using a program like WinZip or 7-Zip.
3. Open the extracted folder and launch "openarena.exe".
4. Frag away!

[edit] Installation (EXE)

1. Download the latest exe installer(s) of OpenArena from one of the Download Mirrors or BitTorrent.
2. Run it and follow instructions.

[edit] Linux

[edit] System Requirements

• Minimum
  • Pentium II 233MHz / AMD K6-2 300MHz or equally powerful processor
  • 64MB of system memory
  • OpenGL supported video card with 16MB of video memory. (Voodoo Banshee, TNT and up)
  • 300MB of hard drive space

In theory, the game can run on any Pentium-class processor with a Voodoo2, but don't expect much performance over 20fps and expect loading time to be over a minute.

NOTE: You must have accelerated drivers for your video card installed for best results. This may require using the not-entirely-open-source NVIDIA drivers for NVIDIA cards. This also means that some video cards may not work even if they meet the above-stated minimum requirements.

[edit] Installation

Precompiled packages are available for the most popular distributions.

See LinuxInstall
