Running on Linux

The Linux download is an AppImage: a portable application that runs without a traditional installer. After downloading it, open the file's properties, allow it to run as a program, and double-click it. You can also launch it from a terminal:

cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x Rebellion2-*-x86_64.AppImage
./Rebellion2-*-x86_64.AppImage

View release notes and all downloads or browse the public installer and launcher source code.

The installer verifies ownership automatically. You must own either Star Wars: Rebellion or Star Wars: Empire at War: Gold Pack on GOG or Steam.
