'''As of VCMI 1.4.w and newer Windows 7 or newer is required. We have two Windows installers on download page, where one contains Windows 7 compatible version, and the other one might work slightly better on newer systems.'''
 
 
 
= Step 1: Download and install VCMI =
 
 
 
Install one of following into new folder, same as when installing new game:
 
 
 
* Latest release (recommended): https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/releases/latest
 
* Daily builds (unstable): https://builds.vcmi.download/branch/develop/Windows/
 
* Please report about problems on GitHub: [https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/issues Bug Tracker]
 
 
 
= Step 2: Installing Heroes III data files =
 
'''Since VCMI 1.2 you can skip this step, just run VCMI launcher and it will help you with importing H3 data. For older releases you can follow this step.'''
 
 
 
* Install Heroes III from disk or using GOG installer.
 
 
 
* Copy "Data", "Maps" and "Mp3" from Heroes III to:
 
<pre>
 
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\vcmi\
 
</pre>
 
Create this folder if it doesnt exist yet
 
 
 
= Step 3: (for release 1.0.0 and above) connect to the mod repository =
 
* If that's your first installation, connection to the mod repository will be configured automatically, you'll see mods available to install from VCMI launcher
 
** We recommend you to install VCMI extras to support various helpful UI tweaks and (before 1.3) support for different screen resolutions
 
 
 
= Step 3: (for old builds 0.99 and earlier) download and copy and enable Essential Package =
 
* Skip this step if you installed 1.0.0 or latest daily build
 
* For some technical reasons it wasn't included in game installation package for legacy versions and needs to be downloaded and activated seperately
 
* Download "VCMI essential files mods" from here https://wiki.vcmi.eu/Mod_list#Utilities
 
* After unpacking, copy folder Mods to your main VCMI directory
 
* When launching game, please enable "VCMI essential files" as well as its sub-elements: Andruids Bonus Icons, Bonus Icons, Spell Immunity bonus icons, Extra resolutions and Default templates.
