How to Install Cogmind

[Kyzrati]

Windows:

• Download the game from your personal download link sent to you via email. The download is a single zip file which contains the entire game.
• Uncompress the zip file and put its contents in a folder on your hard drive. (Note: Avoid putting it in Program Files, where programs do not have write access by default.)
• Run COGMIND.exe (the file inside with the cool-looking icon), making sure it has admin privileges in order to save files. If it runs, great! Otherwise you probably need step 4:
• If Cogmind complains about DLL files, your system needs the MSVC++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86), which can be downloaded and installed from here. After clicking "Download" it will list multiple versions, and the one you need is "vcredist_x86.exe".

If you have any questions about zip files or the redistributable, feel free to ask and I'll update these instructions with more detail if necessary.

Mac: Cogmind can run fine using a variety of solutions. See this thread for help (there's also a quick video tutorial here: https://youtu.be/9ypp8giWqS0) or here for M1.

Linux: Cogmind works fine in Wine, though I don't believe we have any step-by-step instructions for that one yet. Cogmind can also be purchased, installed, and run through Valve's Steam Play.
