AppImage is a packaging solution for linux applications, similar to Snap or Flatpak

To use it:
  • Read and accept ID software eula
  • Download the latest tgz archive in the releases
  • Unpack it.
  • Overwrite the pak0.pk3 file in the baseq3 folder with the one of your original installation CD.

The first time, start the application in a terminal in order to accept the EULA of ID software.
