Running Julius

Julius requires the original Caesar 3 files to run. This can be an old CD-ROM version, or a digital copy from either GOG or Steam.

Windows

Julius supports Windows XP and higher.

Install Caesar 3 using the provided installer (GOG/Steam/CD-ROM).
Download the latest release of Julius or compile from source.
Copy julius.exe, SDL2.dll and SDL2_mixer.dll to the folder where you installed Caesar 3
Run julius.exe

OpenBSD and FreeBSD provide Julius as package. On Linux you'll have to build Julius from source.

If you bought the GOG edition, you can download the offline installer exe, and use InnoExtract to extract the game files:

Build Julius or install using your package manager
Install innoextract for your distribution
Download the Caesar 3 offline installer exe from GOG
Run the following command to extract the game files to a new app directory:
```
 $ innoextract -m setup_caesar3_2.0.0.9.exe
```
Move the julius executable to the extracted app directory and run from there, OR run Julius with the path to the game files as parameter:
```
 $ julius path-to-app-directory
```

Note that your user requires write access to the directory containing the game files, since the saved games are also stored there.

Another option is to get the game files by installing Caesar 3 using WINE:

Build Julius or install using your package manager
Install Caesar 3 using WINE, take note where the game is installed
Run Julius with the path where the game is installed:
```
 $ julius path-to-c3-directory
```
