Since version 1.0.0 of OpenTTD, installation is simplified significantly and the game is completely open source (including both the game and graphics); everything is included in the installer. To download the latest version of OpenTTD [http://www.openttd.org/download-stable click here].

Installation can be a little complicated, as the [[en/Archive/Community/Base graphics]] are not distributed with the game. So beside [http://www.openttd.org/ downloading the game], you need to obtain a set of base graphics as well.
Installation can be a little complicated, as the [[en/Archive/Community/Base graphics]] are not distributed with the game. So besides [http://www.openttd.org/ downloading the game], you need to obtain a set of base graphics as well.

Currently, there are two sets of base graphics that OpenTTD can use:
* [[en/Basesets/OpenGFX]], the official [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source open source] graphics set made by the OpenTTD team.
* The original base graphics from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Tycoon Transport Tycoon Deluxe] (TTD) CD. As opposed to OpenTTD, TTD is '''not''' free software.

Now OpenTTD will appear where other installed apps appear on your system. For Ubuntu you'll see OpenTTD in the "Show Apps" menu. You'll be able to pin the application to the dash as well.

You can now choose either OpenGFX graphics, or use original TTD graphics if you have a copy of original game around.

Chances are, your OpenTTD installation already has sound and music. If it doesn't, we recommend to install [[en/Basesets/OpenSFX]] and [[en/Basesets/OpenMSX]] from the in-game content downloader. You need an Internet connection for this. After the download, go to “Game Settings” and select these base sets for sounds and music.

For music to work, your system needs to have MIDI playback support. Most systems should support it out of the box, but if not, consult the manual of your operating system to learn how to get MIDI support.

We recommend SimpleAI for a start, as it is the most stable one. In the AI menu, you can choose how many computer players there will be in your game.
