# Who is this guide for?
This guide is for people who have a Mac and just want to download OpenRCT2 and play the game.
If you compiled the game yourself, or you have Linux, or you know what you're doing and just want to know what to do, take a look at the [Installation on Linux and macOS](https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Installation-on-Linux-and-macOS) guide.
# Downloading OpenRCT2
1. [Download OpenRCT2 from the main Downloads page](http://openrct2.org/downloads).
2. Unzip the downloaded file and drag OpenRCT2.app to your Applications folder.
# Obtaining game files
OpenRCT2 needs the original RCT2 game files (and optionally RCT1) to function. Follow the instructions below based on where you got your copy of the game.
**Note: Before you proceed, if you have access to a Windows PC, or a Bootcamp partition with Windows, it will be easiest to install the game on Windows and copy the game files to your Mac. And then you're done! If you do not have access to Windows, read on.**
## Retail CDs
## Steam
Steam can normally only download games for the platform it is running on, but you can force it to download RCT1/2 using the following method:
1. Make sure Steam is entirely closed
1. Open Terminal.app
2. Copy and paste this line into the terminal:
curl "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mrysav/f40cf028631ec467d2893f74ce91c297/raw/cc1167e65d91ca8b497db50e4a90c30581e36280/appmanifest_285330.acf" > ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/appmanifest_285330.acf
3. (if you own RCT1) Copy and paste this line into the terminal:
curl "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mrysav/f40cf028631ec467d2893f74ce91c297/raw/cc1167e65d91ca8b497db50e4a90c30581e36280/appmanifest_285310.acf" > ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/appmanifest_285310.acf
4. Open Steam
5. Wait for games to download
6. Open the folder `/Users/[you]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common`. You can do this with the following command:
open ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common
7. Move the RCT2TTP and RCT1 folders somewhere else to use for OpenRCT2.
If you're curious about the method being used to download the games, you can find more here: [dotfloat/steam-appmanifest](https://github.com/dotfloat/steam-appmanifest#manual).
