 It should work for Debian-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Linux-Mint and so on). If you have different system only part with `apt install` (dependencies) should change. After running this command you should be able to call `q2pro` binary in your terminal. For example: `q2pro --version`.

-You need to do some change
+=== baseq2
+Run `q2pro`. By running this it should create `.q2pro` folder in your home directory (`~`).
+
+It should complain about lack of the baseq2:
+
+{{{
+$ q2pro
+------- FS_Init -------
+Current search path:
+/home/w96k/.q2pro/baseq2
+/usr/share/q2pro/baseq2
+-----------------------
+------- R_Init -------
+Using video driver: x11
+Using GLSL rendering backend.

+`baseq2` is the quake 2 game itself. Quake 2 is proprietary game, but the source code of the engine was released long time ago. Yet the source of the art, sounds, models and so on is not free. Some games share this model like [[https://warsow.net/|Warsow]].
+
+So, you need to aquire baseq2 yourself by buying the game. Or basically downloading it elsewhere, but I didn't say this. You can buy Quake 2 here:
+- [[https://www.gog.com/en/game/quake_ii_quad_damage|GOG]] (DRM-free)
+- [[https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/2320/|Steam]]
+
+By the way Enhanced Quake 2 is good in case if you never played Quake 2 before.
+
+Just buy it, look for installed folder and copy paste baseq2 folder to `~/.q2pro/baseq2`. For steam version on linux it would be `~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Quake \ 2/baseq2`.

+So we god quake2
