Support Installing openWind

How to install openWind

Windows XP / Vista / 7


At the moment, there is no installer. There is just the bare executable which can be downloaded from the downloads page. The executable starts looking for files in its own directory so you might want to put it close to your data.


Ubuntu 8.10


Please download the tar.gz file from the downloads page, uncompress and run it from your home directory (or wherever else you prefer). OpenWind uses shared librairies so if you want to run it on another flavour of Linux then you will probably need to download the source and compile it on your your target platform.
