To run OpenRA, several files are needed from the original game disks.
|
|
A minimal asset pack can also be downloaded and installed by the game.
|
|
|
|
The following lists per-platform dependencies required to build from source.
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* [Windows PowerShell >= 4.0](http://microsoft.com/powershell)
|
|
* [.NET Framework >= 4.5 (Client Profile)](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653)
|
|
* [SDL 2](http://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) (included)
|
|
* [FreeType](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm) (included)
|
|
* [zlib](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm) (included)
|
|
* [OpenAL](http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html) (included)

You need to fetch the thirdparty dependencies and place them at the appropriate places by typing `make dependencies` in a command terminal.
|
|
|
|
To compile OpenRA, open the `OpenRA.sln` solution in the main folder, build it from the command-line with MSBuild or use the Makefile analogue command `make all` scripted in PowerShell syntax.
|
|
|
|
Run the game with `launch-game.cmd`. It can be handed arguments that specify the exact mod one wishes to run, for example, run `launch-game.cmd Game.Mod=ra` to launch Red Alert, `launch-game.cmd Game.Mod=cnc` to start Tiberian dawn or `launch-game.cmd Game.Mod=d2k` to launch Dune 2000.
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Use `make dependencies` to map the native libraries to your system and fetch the remaining CLI dependencies to place them at the appropriate places.
|
|
|
|
To compile OpenRA, run `make all` from the command line. After this one can run the game with `./launch-game.sh`. It is also possible to specify the mod you wish to run from the command line, e.g. with `./launch-game.sh Game.Mod=ts` if you wish to try the experimental Tiberian Sun mod.
|
|
|
|
Type `sudo make install` for system-wide installation. Run `sudo make install-linux-shortcuts` to get startup scripts, icons and desktop files. You can then run the Red Alert by executing the `openra-ra` command, the Dune 2000 mod by running the `openra-d2k` command and Tiberian Dawn by the `openra-cnc` command. Alternatively, you can also run these mods by clicking on their desktop shortcuts if you ran `sudo make install-linux-shortcuts`.

----------

|
|
|
It is important to note there is an unofficial [`openra-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openra-git) package in the Arch User Repository (AUR) of Arch Linux. If manually compiling is the way you wish to go the build and runtime dependencies can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo pacman -S mono openal libgl freetype2 sdl2 lua51 xdg-utils zenity
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
|
```
|

sudo apt install mono-devel libfreetype6 libopenal1 liblua5.1-0 libsdl2-2.0-0 xdg-utils zenity wget
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fedora
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
```
|
