## Installation
You must own the game to play. Purchase your copy on [GoG](https://www.gog.com/game/fallout_2) or [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/38410). Download latest build or build from source. The `fallout2-ce.exe` serves as a drop-in replacement for `fallout2.exe`. Copy it to your Fallout 2 directory and run.

### Windows
Download and copy `fallout2-ce.exe` to your `Fallout2` folder. It serves as a drop-in replacement for `fallout2.exe`.
### Linux
- Use Windows installation as a base - it contains data assets needed to play. Copy `Fallout2` folder somewhere, for example `/home/john/Desktop/Fallout2`.
- Download and copy `fallout2-ce` to this folder.
- Fix permissions (GitHub artifacts issue):
```console
chmod a+x /home/john/Desktop/Fallout2/fallout2-ce
```
- Install [SDL2](https://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php):
```console
$ sudo apt install libsd2-2.0-0
```
- Run `./fallout2-ce`.
### macOS
> **NOTE**: macOS Monterey is required. The app is not universal. It should run on Apple Silicon under Rosetta 2, but I haven't tried it. The app is neither signed, nor notarized.
- Use Windows installation as a base - it contains data assets needed to play. Copy `Fallout2` folder somewhere, for example `/Applications/Fallout2`.
- Download and copy `fallout2-ce.app` to this folder.
- Run `fallout2-ce.app`.
- When running for the first time, macOS will complain that the app is not signed and you'll be present two options - `Move to bin`, and `Cancel`. Click `Cancel`, open `System Preferences`, go to `Security & Privacy`. The pane at the bottom will say `fallout2-ce was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer`. Click `Open Anyway`. Confirm once again. Alternatively you can remove quarantine attribute from terminal:
```console
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Fallout2/fallout2-ce.app
```
