2. Open the Disk Image ¶
3. Copy the executable to your local disk. ¶
4. Double click it to run. ¶


### Linux ¶
It is likely, that there are pre-compiled packages for your distribution. Widelands is tracked by any major Linux distribution. ¶

For Ubuntu, especially for older versions which will not get a backport of the latest build, we offer a [PPA](https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/+archive/widelands). Follow the install instructions on the PPA's site to add it to your system. ¶

In case your distribution does not provide pre-compiled packages you have to compile Widelands yourself. Go to the BuildingWidelands page for further instructions. ¶



## Unofficial development Builds ¶

There are some people providing pre-compiled (ready to run like our official releases) packages, made from our current development state. Below are the links to those builds. Installation should work similar as described in "Official builds" ¶

### Windows ¶
[Tino](/profile/Tino) provides daily (or even more often compiled) builds. These can be found at [http://widelands.8-schuss.de/](http://widelands.8-schuss.de/). ¶

After downloading one of the development builds your browser might warn you that the file can possibly harm your computer. This is a false alarm! There is just too little information about these files, because they change so rapidly, that the browser cannot say for sure whether they are malicious or not. ¶

### Mac OS X ¶
