## Installation guide



To play Quakeworld you need the files *pak0.pak* and *pak1.pak* from the original Quake-game.



### Install ezQuake to an existing Quake-installation

If you have an existing Quake-installation simply extract the ezQuake executable into your Quake-directory.



A typical error message when installing ezQuake into a pre-existing directory is about *glide2x.dll* missing.

To get rid of this error, remove the file *opengl32.dll* from your Quake directory.



### Upgrade an nQuake-installation

If you have a version of [nQuake][nQuake] already installed you can upgrade ezQuake by extracting the new executable into the nQuake-directory.



### Minimal clean installation

If you want to make a clean installation of ezQuake you can do this by following these steps:



1. Create a new directory

2. Extract the ezQuake-executable into this directory

3. Create a subdirectory called *id1*

4. Copy *pak0.pak* and *pak1.pak* into this subdirectory



## Compiling



On Linux, `./build-linux.sh` produces an ezQuake binary in the top directory. 



For a more in-depth description of how to build on all platforms, have a look at 

[BUILD.md](BUILD.md).
