Windows:
- Download the game from your personal download link sent to you via email. The download is a single zip file which contains the entire game.
- Uncompress the zip file and put its contents in a folder on your hard drive. (Note: Avoid putting it in Program Files, where programs do not have write access by default.)
- Run COGMIND.exe (the file inside with the cool-looking icon), making sure it has admin privileges in order to save files. If it runs, great! Otherwise you probably need step 4:
- If you get a missing DLL error, you need to update Windows by installing the MSVC++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=5555) from Microsoft.
If you have any questions about zip files or the redistributable, feel free to ask and I'll update these instructions with more detail if necessary.
Mac: There are multiple available solutions, some with step-by-step instructions: Wineskin (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=29.msg405#msg405) and Winebottler (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=29.msg114#msg114). Also a quick video tutorial (https://youtu.be/9ypp8giWqS0) for installing Cogmind via Wineskin. Requires macOS Mohave 10.14 or earlier!
Linux: Cogmind works fine in Wine (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=182.0), though I don't believe we have any step-by-step instructions for that one yet. Cogmind can also be purchased, installed, and run through Valve's Steam Play.
