Innoextract
^^^^^^^^^^^
Linux
~~~~~
If you have purchased "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind" from GOG and wish to extract the game files on a Linux system without using Wine, you can do so using ``innoextract``.
For Distributions Using `apt` (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.. code:: bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install innoextract
Other Distributions
+++++++++++++++++++
If you are using a Linux distribution that doesn't use apt, search your package manager for the program and install it if it exists.
.. code:: bash
# openSUSE
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper search innoextract
sudo zypper install innoextract
.. code:: bash
# Arch Linux/Manjaro
sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -Ss innoextract
sudo pacman -S innoextract
Once the program is installed, download the game from GOG. The file should be called ``setup_tes_morrowind_goty_2.0.0.7.exe`` or something similar. When you run ``innoextract`` it will extract the files directly into the folder the ``setup.exe`` file is located. If you have a specific folder where you want it to be extracted to, for example in ``~/Documents/Games/Morrowind`` You can specify it with the ``-d`` flag.
.. code:: bash
innoextract setup_tes_morrowind_goty_2.0.0.7.exe -d ~/Documents/Games/Morrowind/
If not just run the command without the ``-d`` flag. Assuming you used the filepath above, your ``.esm`` files will be located in this diredctory ``~/Documents/Games/Morrowind/app/Data Files/``.
Now you can run the OpenMW launcher and run the installation wizard. Point it to your ``Morrowind.esm`` in the folder you extracted it to, and enjoy playing Morrowind.
