Installing the game¶

Installation¶

Downloading¶

To get started, download the latest version of the game from our homepage.

From here, choose which package you would like to install. We recommend the Installer for beginner users.

You will be redirected to Sourceforge, and the file will automatically download. Once downloaded, double-click the file to start the installer.

If you're running Linux, you can download the game by following these instructions.

Windows SmartScreen warning¶

When launching the installer for the first time, Windows Defender SmartScreen may prevent the installer from starting.

If this happens, click More info then Run anyway.

The installer should launch once you accept the UAC dialog.

Installing¶

Select your language, then click OK.

Click Next.

Accept the agreement, then click Next.

If you wish to install RoR to another location, you can change it here. We recommend leaving it to the default location.

By default, RoR only comes with a very small selection of content. To help new players, we've created content packs which provide a good selection of vehicles and terrains to get you started.

You can choose to either download all the packs, or only select the ones that interest you. For simplicity's sake, no packs will be downloaded.

Click Next to continue.

If you want the installer to create a desktop icon, check the box. Click Next to continue.

Click Install to begin the installation process.

Once the installation finishes, read the message that appears then click Next to continue.

Installation is now completed. Leave Launch Rigs of Rods checked then click Finish to launch RoR!
