## Client
a) extract archive to your MOHAA installation directory.
-or-
b) extract archive somewhere on your hard drive, create a shortcut to openmohaa (or omohaaded), and set the start directory on the shortcut to your MOHAA installation directory.
## Server
Extract the archive to your MOHAA server installation directory. Then proceed like you would do with mohaa server:
- `.\omohaaded.exe +exec server.cfg` on Windows
- `./omohaaded +exec server.cfg` on Linux
Only `omohaaded*` and `game*` binaries are required for the server version, other binaries can be omitted.
## Extracting GOG setup file on Linux and macOS
The MOH:AA Warchest installer files on GOG are Windows binaries. To attain the game files, you can quickly extract them using [Innoextract](https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextract).
- Install Innoextract using your preferred Package Manager (e.g. [Brew](https://brew.sh/)).
- Once installed run the command `innoextract setup_medal_of_honor_2.0.0.21.exe`. The MoH:AA game files will be extracted into a folder called 'app'.
Alternatively, you can use [WINE](https://www.winehq.org/) as well, but this process may take longer if you do not already have WINE installed and configured.
