<H1>Downloading / Unpacking</H1>
<p>
Mesa can be downloaded from the
<a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mesa3d" target="_parent">
SourceForge download area</A>.
</p>
<p>
Since version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces: main library code
and demos. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not
interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file.
</p>
<p>
Mesa is available in at least three archive formats:
</p>
<pre>
1. GNU zip/tar
Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
Unpack with:
gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
gzcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
or
gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
or
tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
If you don't have gzcat try zcat instead.
2. Unix compressed/tar
Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z
Unpack with:
zcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf -
zcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf -
3. ZIP format
Download MesaLib-X.Y.zip and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
Unpack with:
unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip
unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
</pre>
<p>
After unpacking you'll have these directories (and more):
</p>
<pre>

<p>
Mesa 2.5 and later includes Mark Kilgard's GLUT library (GL Utility Toolkit).
GLUT is built automatically on systems which support it.
