The easiest way is to download the installer from MegaGlest Downloads.


FreeBSD

There is a patch to port Glest V2.0.0 to FreeBSD on the FreeBSD webpage

This is the easiest way to install MegaGlest. Open the package manager of your distribution (f.e. synaptic package manager, Kpackage manager, yast, ...), search for MegaGlest, and install it.
