Linux

Install using a package manager

Deb (Debian software package .deb)

  • Download a Deb file specific for your operating system and computer architecture (32/64bit AMD/Intel etc.).

You can find it here : http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:klaussfreire:debian&package=vegastrike-data Just click on the tab at the bottom of the page to see links to the debs.

  • Simply run the file and when a package manager opens review and click install

RPM (Red_Hat Package Manager .rpm)

Same as for Deb

  • Download a RPM file specific for your operating system and computer architecture (32/64bit AMD/Intel etc.).

You can find it here : http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:klaussfreire&package=vegastrike-data Just click on the tab at the bottom of the page to see links to the RPM.

  • Simply run the file and when a package manager opens review and click install

MacOSX

  • Double-click on the dmg image and you will see Vega Strike, Vega Strike Setup and Vega Strike Setup OS X 10.2;
  • Double-click on the setup icon;
  • Choose your options;
  • Double-click on Vega Strike

Note: on the Mac you will notice significant performance improvements by running it directly from the dmg file, but you can copy the Vega Strike application and setup into /Applications with no adverse effects aside from a slightly slower startup time.
