Install from binary distribution

Windows

Installing

• Vega Strike is packaged in a self-installable, executable program. Locate this file (either from your download or on the CD), then double click to execute. It will begin verifying the installer (be patient, this will take a short while). Read the License Agreement (a copy can be accessed online at the website as well as in the program directories).

• Component selection. Note that the Vega Strike files are required to play Vega Strike, and that the music files are recommended for full immersion in the game.

• Destination folder selection

Linux

Install as a user

• sh vegastrike.run;
• Enter directory to locate the files (default is /home/username/vegastrike);
• Enter directory to put symlinks to binaries. If you do not have a location for binaries in your $path, uncheck the “install symlinks to binaries" option, then note that the symlink is to the binary in vegastrike/bin/vegastrike.sh.

Install as root

• su;
• sh vegastrike.run;
• Select path to install files;
• Install symlinks

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.
