Installation
Ensure that you download the binaries compatible with your platform in the releases section.
Which release should be downloaded?
- If running Windows on AMD/Intel, CPU then
*-windows-x64.zipis recommended - If running Windows on Qualcomm/Snapdragon (ARM-based) CPU, then
*-windows-arm64.zipis the way to go - If running MacOS on Apple Silicon hardware, choose
*-macos-arm64.zip - If running MacOS on AMD/Intel CPU, choose
*-macos-x86_64.zip - If running Linux on AMD/Intel CPU, then
*-linux-amd64is generally fine. Choose the i686 version for CPUs that don't support 64-bit instructions. - If running Linux on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, then
*-linux-arm64(if running ARM64) is the way to go

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 omohaaded.* and game.* binaries from the archive to your MOHAA server installation directory. Then proceed like you would do with mohaa server:
.\omohaaded.*.exe +exec server.cfgon Windows./omohaaded.* +exec server.cfgon Linux
Make sure to replace '*' with the correct name in the binary.
Cleaning up the game installation directory
If you want to clean up the mohaa installation directory by keeping only what is needed for OpenMoHAA, the following files/directories can be kept:
[MOHAA]
├── [main]
| ├── [sound]
| ├── [video]
│ ├── Pak*.pk3 // all pak files
├── [mainta]
| ├── [sound]
| ├── [video]
│ ├── pak*.pk3 // all pak files
├── [maintt]
| ├── [sound]
| ├── [video]
│ ├── pak*.pk3 // all pak files
├── All files from the OpenMoHAA archive
Extracting GOG setup file on Linux and macOS
If your MOH:AA copy was acquired from GOG then this section will be relevant.
The MOH:AA Warchest installer files on GOG are Windows binaries. To attain the game files, you can quickly extract them using Innoextract.
-
Install Innoextract using your preferred Package Manager (e.g. Brew).
-
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 as well, but this process may take longer if you do not already have WINE installed and configured.
