Installing

Wesnoth can be played on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can be installed using:

Steam (all)
itch.io (Windows and macOS)
The macOS App Store
standalone installers on SourceForge (Windows and macOS)
Flatpak (Linux)

Additionally, Wesnoth is available for iOS and Android.

To build the game from source, see INSTALL for instructions.

Contributing

Wesnoth is most in need of skilled C++ developers (C++14 and later), however there are things that nearly anyone can help with from simpler tasks in C++, the Lua and WML used for content scripting, Python used by various external tools, and even things like play testing and giving feedback on updated campaigns. Additionally, Wesnoth lacks art for a variety of unit animations - anyone who would be interested in lending a hand updating existing unit sprites or creating animations should take a look at the Art Forum as well as contact our current art director.

Donations

Donations can be sent via Liberapay as well as when downloading through itch.io. All money donated is used to pay for project expenses such as server rent and art commissions, and is very much appreciated.
