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 >= 4.0 (Client Profile)](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17113)
* [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)
* [liblua 5.1](http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/download.html) (included)
You need to fetch the thirdparty dependencies using [NuGet](http://www.nuget.org) 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 `OpenRA.Game.exe Game.Mod=ra` for Red Alert or `OpenRA.Game.exe Game.Mod=cnc` for Tiberian Dawn.
Linux
=====
Use `make dependencies` to map the native libraries to your system, fetch the remaining CLI dependencies using [NuGet](http://www.nuget.org) and place them at the appropriate places.
To compile OpenRA, run `make all` from the command line.
Run with either `launch-game.sh` or `mono --debug OpenRA.Game.exe`.
Type `sudo make install-all` for system wide installation. Run `make install-linux-shortcuts` to get startup scripts, icons and desktop files. You can then run from the `openra` shortcut.
