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.
