#21: Mac Install.

1) Copy sauerbraten folder. (Mac os extracts the disk image to your downloads folder).

2) run launcher.app. (May be seen as just launcher).


3) Change settings.


4) Done.

Quin,
Thank you for the install guide. I got to the running of the game, but the error it gives me now is:
Using home directory: /root/.sauerbraten
init: sdl
init: enet
init: video: mode
Unable to create OpenGL screen: OpenGL not available
I have the proprietary nVidia drivers installed, so I take it that OpenGL is not installed, for whatever reason? If so, how do I get it?

Yes, yes, but what if sauerbraten.app doesn't open? That's the kind of install support I mean.

Try typing 'glgears'. It's a simple OpenGL program, that's often used for benchmarking and the like. If you don't have it, you migh want to try and install it, but if you do and it doesn't work, that will confirm your evident lack of OpenGL.
