## Compiling and installing ASC on Unix systems

Compiling and installing ASC is simple. Just run:

> `configure
> make
> make install
> `

That's enough to run ASC, but it does not include the music (which is too big to be included in the source package).

### Installing the Music

Just call the `getmusic` script and run `configure` and `make` again.

Or you can download install the music manually after you installed ASC. Download these files:

- frontiers.mp3
- time_to_strike.mp3
- machine_wars.mp3

and place them in one of these paths:

      ~/.asc/music/
      /var/local/games/asc/music/
      /var/games/asc/music/
      /usr/local/share/games/asc/music/
      /usr/share/games/asc/music/

ASC will automatically detect and play them. You can also place any other MP3 files there, or make `music` a symlink to your MP3 collection.
