1. Create a directory where you wish to install Neverwinter Nights (the
destination directory). Neverwinter Nights Gold requires 2.6 GB of free hard
disk space.
2. Unzip disk2.zip from Disc Two into the destination directory.

3. Unzip disk3.zip from Disc Three into the destination directory..

4. Unzip disk4.zip from Disc Four into the destination directory.

5. Unzip Data_Shared.zip from Disc One into the destination directory
(overwriting all).

6. Unzip Language_data.zip from Disc One into the destination directory
(overwriting all).

7. Unzip Language_update.zip from Disc One into the destination directory
(overwriting all).

8. Download nwclientgold.tar.gz and extract it into the destination directory
(overwriting all).

9. Run ./fixinstall from the destination directory.

10. To run Neverwinter Nights, run ./nwn or ./dmclient from the destination
directory to run the player client or DM client respectively.


For example (assuming CDs automatically mount at /mnt/cdrom):

mkdir nwn
cd nwn

unzip /mnt/cdrom/disk2.zip
eject

unzip /mnt/cdrom/disk3.zip
eject

unzip /mnt/cdrom/disk4.zip
eject

unzip -o /mnt/cdrom/Data_Shared.zip
unzip -o /mnt/cdrom/Language_data.zip
unzip -o /mnt/cdrom/Language_update.zip

tar -xzf ~/nwclientgold.tar.gz
./fixinstall
./nwn


Note that the Linux client does not play the campaign movies. To save space
(250 MB), you may remove your movies directory or add -x "*.bik" to your unzip
commands if you do not plan to view the movies in an external player.
