| - Thanks to its openess, OpenArena has been "ported" to several Operating Systems. And even for the three classic PC OSs Windows, Linux and OS X (for which official downloads are available from OA official site), it is also possible to get the game though some third-party "markets" (a.k.a. "app stores" or "digital distribution platforms"), like Desura. OpenArena Team does not have control over those third-party developers. While OpenArena itself is fully free, a small part of such third-party publishers may ask for money (GPL license allows commercial use, so they can do it).

| - Thanks to its openess, OpenArena has been "ported" to several Operating Systems. And even for the three classic PC OSs Windows, Linux and OS X (for which official downloads are available from OA official site), it is also possible to get the game though some third-party "markets" (a.k.a. "app stores" or "digital distribution platforms"), like Desura. This page mainly tries to link some "ports" for different OSs, plus a few "markets" for PC. Although the list will not really include all existing portings, it will try to help you locating them. Of course, probably just performing a web search for "OpenArena " may be enough. This page will not include instructions about how to install and configure the game on such systems, but will just try to link their authors' web pages, source code repositories, their URLs in "market/stores", show a short description or just mention their presence in some repositories. Presence of a certain "port" in in this page does NOT mention it has been actually tested by OpenArena Team! We cannot assure these third-party releases are updated with the latest official OA release, and we cannot assure infos in this page are updated and accurate. Distro-related "Linux repositories" should be mentioned in the apposite LinuxInstall page and not here (there is an apposite page for them, why should we write them twice?), however this page may link "markets" for specific Linux-derived OSs/Systems such as Android and Raspberry Pi, and "stores" that work with multiple Linux versions. Official OpenArena releases, at the moment, include Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X binaries. You can find them in Download mirrors page, or from the main site . These are the releases that OpenArena Team can provide best support for (you can use OA official forums for that). Porting for other systems are realized and maintained by third-party people. OpenArena Team cannot guarantee support for such stuff (however some of such third-party developers may follow OpenArena forums). Even the OpenArena installs for GNU/Linux that are hosted on various Linux repositories (see LinuxInstall page) may have some differences from the Official Releases (e.g. recompiled binaries, or extra pk3 files with additional maps and characters, etc.). With ports for other OSs, changes may be much, much more (e.g. optimization for certain control devices, user interface redesigned with more or less options, etc.). OpenArena Team does not have control over those third-party developers. While OpenArena itself is fully free, a small part of such third-party publishers may ask for money (GPL license allows commercial use, so they can do it). Note: if you are a developer and you wish to port OpenArena to some other system, you are free to do it, as long as you follow GPLv2 license. You can list your port in this page if you wish, or you can use our forums to search for help and testers.
