Installing the game
- Install and run Oolite on Mac OS X
- Install and run Oolite on Linux
- Install and run Oolite on Windows
- Install and run Oolite on Fedora Core 5
- Install and run Oolite on BSD and Irix
Note that from release 1.77 onwards two different release configurations are available for download: "deployment" which includes full optimisation and is most suitable for those just wanting to play the game, and "test" which includes additional debugging and development tools, and is intended for OXP development. If you are unsure, we recommend the "deployment release" - it is easy to convert it into a "test release" later.
A background to the game
