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.zip is recommended
• If running Windows on Qualcomm/Snapdragon (ARM-based) CPU, then *-windows-arm64.zip is the way to go
• If running MacOS on Apple Silicon hardware, choose *-macos-arm64.zip
• If running MacOS on AMD/Intel CPU, choose *-macos-arm64.zip
• If running Linux on AMD/Intel CPU, then *-linux-amd64 is 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

Requirements

• A valid MOH:AA installation, a MOH:AA Warchest copy can be acquired from GOG here.
  • Extracting GOG Installer on Linux and macOS. The demo version can also be used.
• On Windows, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015/2017/2019/2022 Redistributable from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 may be required.

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.

• 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.
