{{Message|Beta 4 0.9.4.4 Released|0.9.4.4 has been released, fixing an issue with YOG not displaying IRC users as it was supposed to.<br />
If you have installed the game but still have problems running it or if you cannot compile the source distribution, try to look at [[Frequently Asked Questions]] page, where a section is related to installation problems.
Note: Glob2 may not work on OS X Snow Leopard. We are waiting on a patch to SDL before we can update our binary}}
<!-- ===Unofficial Release: CVS===
For those of you wanting to test out the latest version of globulation without compiling the source code yourself an updated windows binary can be downloaded [http://mysite.verizon.net/donkyhotay here]. Be aware this is a development version and may not be as stable as the official release so it is recommended that you backup your original glob2.exe file before using it. -->

::export CVSROOT=anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/cvsroot/glob2 co glob2
* Read the README.cvs and README files.
* Get the graphics by running the ''./syncdata'' script in the cvs tree.
* You can also get some maps by running the ''./syncmaps'' script.
* Run the ''./bootstrap'' script from the cvs tree. If it doesn't work, check that SDL is installed in aclocal's path. If it is not the case (with Mac OS X, for example), run ''aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal'', where /usr/local/share/aclocal is the location of SDL's aclocal macros. Then, run the remaining commands of the ''bootstrap'' script (''autoheader && automake --add-missing && autoconf'').
* Continue by following the instructions in installing from a [[#Compile_from_Sources|''source distribution'']].

Beta 4 0.9.4.4 Released: 0.9.4.4 has been released, fixing an issue with YOG not displaying IRC users as it was supposed to.

Note: Glob2 may not work on OS X Snow Leopard. We are waiting on a patch to SDL before we can update our binary

If you have installed the game but still have problems running it or if you cannot compile the source distribution, try to look at the Frequently Asked Questions page, which contains a section related to installation problems.

Looking for the latest development source code? See the Compiling page for information on how to download and compile from our Mercurial repository. From time to time we do development snapshots, too but be aware that those are not yet released for a reason.
