Currently the KaM Remake only officially supports Windows. While it would be possible to port our code to be compiled on other platforms, it would require a significant amount of work and additional maintenance, which currently does not seem justified given that the vast majority of our users run Windows. However, it is still possible to run the KaM Remake under Mac OSX and Linux quite easily.
Mac OSX
PaulTheTall has made a WineSkin wrapper for running KaM Remake under Mac OSX. Below are two different tutorial videos explaining how to use it:
As explained in the videos, for legal reasons you first need to install the original game Knights and Merchants – The Peasants Rebellion, otherwise the KaM Remake installer will fail to detect it and will not install. For more information about getting the original game please read our downloads page.
Linux
We have received numerous reports that KaM Remake runs well on Linux using Wine (Windows emulator). Under most Linux distributions Wine can be installed from your package manager, then you can use it to run the installer EXE files for the original game and the KaM Remake.
