This details the necessary steps you need to take to install the precompiled OGRE SDK.
If you want to build Ogre from source instead, visit the Building Ogre page.

Prerequisites:

  1. Go to http://www.ogre3d.org/download/sdk.
  2. Download the SDK matching your IDE version.
  3. Download and install DirectX: directx_aug2009_redist.exe

Run the installer:

Unpack to a suitable location:

Go to the directory of the newly installed sdk and copy the full path:

installSDK3.png

Open a command window and set the environment variable OGRE_HOME to point to that path.

You just copied the path so you should be able to paste in into the command window after 'setx OGREHOME ':

Copy to clipboard
setx OGRE_HOME D:\OgreSDK\OgreSDK_vc9_v1-7-1

That's it. :)


TODO: Write how to compile the samples. 😊

-(Linux)-
To be written... Try searching the forums or Google for help. It might actually be easier to just compile from source than look for a pre-complied SDK for your flavor of Linux. Packages do exist but support is spotty.

-(Mac OSX)-

This section is for developers willing to install a precompiled Software Development Kit (SDK) under Mac OS X platform.

Once you have OGRE downloaded and setup, learn how to setup your first application.


  1. Go to http://www.ogre3d.org and click on Download.
  2. Next click on Download a Prebuilt SDK.
  3. Download the latest OSX SDK.
  4. Double-click the .dmg to mount it
  5. Drag & drop the OgreSDK folder wherever you like to install the SDK
  6. Install CMake for building the samples. Version 2.8.0 is said to be the most stable version for this. Cmake v2.8
  7. Start up Xcode and load the OgreSDK/OGRE.xcodeproj to build the samples. You probably want to build the release versions of these. Make sure you select that from the build type dropdown.


NOTE: At this time Xcode 2.4 is the officially supported build environment for OS X.

Next Step:

Now you are ready to go to Setting Up an Application, and/or visit the Tutorials.
