Full Game
Installing from a CD
Under windows, just install the game normally, apply the 1.21 patch and then use the Windows installer for Arx Libertatis.
For other operating systems, see Installing the game data under Linux
Buying a new copy on-line
The windows version of Arx Fatalis is available at various download-only stores:
Just like with the cd install, do a normal windows (or wine) install and then copy the data (or run directly in the install directory). However, the download-only versions should already include the latest patch.
The GOG.com version can be extracted without windows or wine if you install Inno Extract and then use the script provided in the scripts directory of the Arx Libertatis source code:
scripts/install-gog path/to/setup_arx_fatalis.exe path/to/output/dir/
If you have md5sum installed, the script will also verify the installed files.
In case you haven't installed innoextract globally, you will need to make sure the script finds it by first running
export PATH="/path/to/dir/containing/innoextract/:$PATH"
Required files
The project is in need of checksums for the various versions of the data.
If you have a version not listed or you'd like to verify that you have the required files, please see Required data files and checksums.
Demo
Download arx_demo_english.zip or arxdemoenglish.zip (md5sum: 3c59a5799e1237b1b181c96e8c09155a)
The following sites work without a login and don't wrap the .zip file in an annoying .exe at the time of this writing.

You can either install the demo using windows or wine or use cabextract to extract the data files.
There is a helper script in the scripts directory of the Arx Libertatis source code that wraps unzip and cabextract. Run:
scripts/install-demo path/to/arx_demo_english.zip path/to/output/dir/
If you have md5sum installed, the script will also verify the installed files.
