Get the official package of the game from one of the download mirrors, then extract all the contents of the zip. Make sure you have the prerequisite libraries. If you wish to try with Linux repositories packages anyway, you can read the distro-related sections below. To avoid such problems, you may prefer to manually download an official OpenArena package from, as explained below. Sometimes, these differences may cause some problems. Such repositories are run by third-party, so their OA installs may have some small differences from the official packages. IMPORTANT: Various Linux repositories contain OpenArena packages. This also means that some video cards may not work even if they meet the above-stated minimum requirements. This may require using the not-entirely-open-source NVIDIA drivers for NVIDIA cards. You must have accelerated drivers for your video card installed for best results. In theory, the game can run on any Pentium-class processor with a Voodoo2, but don't expect much performance over 20fps and expect loading time to be over a minute.
