Gameplay: Create Account

Installation

If you have previously installed Imperium: Reclaimed and completed the Create Account action, then proceed directly to the Login portal.

Download

• On the home page at http://www.imperiumreclaimed.com press the Play button.
• Download the latest program package
• Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to a location of your choosing where you have read, write, and execute permissions (e.g. Desktop, Documents, etc.). Note that the Imperium Reclaimed.x86_64 file must be in the same location as the Imperium Reclaimed_Data folder.

Verify File Integrity

• The sha1sum checksum will be posted at the same location where the program package zip file is located. The checksum is also available to download as a separate sha1 file.

-A sha1sum appears to be a random string of digits (e.g., aa40c03c43caf06168fbaa7447bd5fe7d4e276bb).

• Using the sha1sum value, you can check for download error and verify the integrity of the program package.
• The sha1sum of the downloaded zip file can be calculated by running the sha1sum command in a terminal window (e.g., sha1sum <filename>
• If the sha1sum shown in the terminal window does not match the sha1sum shown on the webpage, delete the downloaded file and reacquire.
• The best method to validate a sha1sum is to download the sha1 from the webpage and copy it to the same location where you have saved the program package zip file. From a terminal prompt run the following command: sha1sum -c <filename>.sha1. If the command displays 'OK' then the downloaded file matches the copy on the server.
