Installation

Ensure that you download the binaries compatible with your platform in the releases section.

Which release should be downloaded?

  • If running Windows on AMD/Intel, CPU then *-windows-x64.zip is recommended
  • If running Windows on Qualcomm/Snapdragon (ARM-based) CPU, then *-windows-arm64.zip is the way to go
  • If running MacOS on Apple Silicon hardware, choose *-macos-arm64.zip
  • If running MacOS on AMD/Intel CPU, choose *-macos-x86_64.zip
  • If running Linux on AMD/Intel CPU, then *-linux-amd64 is generally fine. Choose the i686 version for CPUs that don't support 64-bit instructions.
  • If running Linux on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, then *-linux-arm64 (if running ARM64) is the way to go

Client

a) extract archive to your MOHAA installation directory.

-or-

b) extract archive somewhere on your hard drive, create a shortcut to openmohaa (or omohaaded), and set the start directory on the shortcut to your MOHAA installation directory.

Server

Extract omohaaded.* and game.* binaries from the archive to your MOHAA server installation directory. Then proceed like you would do with mohaa server:

  • .\omohaaded.*.exe +exec server.cfg on Windows
  • ./omohaaded.* +exec server.cfg on Linux

Make sure to replace '*' with the correct name in the binary.

Extracting GOG setup file on Linux and macOS

If your MOH:AA copy was acquired from GOG then this section will be relevant.

The MOH:AA Warchest installer files on GOG are Windows binaries. To attain the game files, you can quickly extract them using Innoextract.

  • Install Innoextract using your preferred Package Manager (e.g. Brew).

  • Once installed run the command innoextract setup_medal_of_honor_2.0.0.21.exe. The MoH:AA game files will be extracted into a folder called 'app'.

Alternatively, you can use WINE as well, but this process may take longer if you do not already have WINE installed and configured.

Obtaining a demo version

Alternatively, free demo versions are available online. Here are the links to the demos:
