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.
You can still download the [[Older Releases]]. They can sometimes be usefull if you want a binary for a system that has not been packaged yet for latest release. Please keep in mind that Internet game will most likely not work with older releases. (See [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_version_should_I_choose_to_play.3F|What version should i choose to play]] in the FAQ.)


[[Compiling#Sources_from_Mercurial|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 [http://dl.sv.nongnu.org/releases/glob2/development_snapshot/ development snapshots], too but be aware that those are not yet released for a reason.

=== Binary Distribution ===
Installing from a distribution binary may be useful if you cannot use one of the installer method listed above. For example, if you don't have administrative rights on your computer and the installer requires them. However, if you don't experience any problem, use a nice installer. It's... nicer.
* Get the binary distribution archive that suits your operating system from the main site in the [[download]] section.
* Extract the archive using a compression/extraction utility (zip, gzip, etc).
* Finally, run ''glob2/bin/glob2'' in the extracted archive.

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.
