Innoextract
^^^^^^^^^^^
macOS and Linux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have purchased "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind" `from GOG <https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_elder_scrolls_iii_morrowind_goty_edition>`_ and wish to extract the game files on a Linux system without using Wine, or on macOS, you can do so using `innoextract <https://constexpr.org/innoextract/>`_. First install innoextract.
For Distributions Using `apt` (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.. code:: console
sudo apt update
sudo apt install innoextract
For macOS using Homebrew
++++++++++++++++++++++++
.. code:: console
brew install innoextract
Once innoextract is installed, download the game from GOG. The downloaded file should be called ``setup_tes_morrowind_goty_2.0.0.7.exe`` or something similar. When ``innoextract`` is run on it, 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:: console
$ innoextract ./setup_tes_morrowind_goty_2.0.0.7.exe -d ~/Documents/Games/Morrowind/
Assuming you used the filepath above, your ``.esm`` files will be located in ``~/Documents/Games/Morrowind/app/Data Files/``.
You can now run the OpenMW launcher, and from there run the installation wizard. Point it to your ``Morrowind.esm`` in the folder you extracted it to, and follow the instructions.
