Installation Instructions

Install Original Game
To use OpenWM you need base ESM file. Currently Morrowind.esm is the only one available; see http://openmw.org/faq/, section "Do I need Morrowind?"

Note: you does not have to use Wine to install Morrowind data files on Linux. See this article for details.

The (easier) Binary Way

 * Simply get the right archive for your OS here : http://code.google.com/p/openmw/downloads/list
 * Extract it
 * Change in openmw.cfg the path to your original "Data File" of Morrowind.
 * Launch "openmw.exe" if your are under Windows, or "openmw" if you are under Linux/MAC
 * Play!

The (bleeding edge) Source Way
See Development Environment Setup for detailed instructions.

After building the engine:


 * Change in openmw.cfg the path to your original "Data File" of Morrowind.
 * Launch "openmw"
 * Play!
