    How to play
    1. It needs your own Jedi Academy, installed: from Steam, GOG or another store.
    2. Download the latest build for your system from its latest release.
    3. Extract it into the GameData folder of Jedi Academy; on Steam, that is steamapps/common/Jedi Academy/GameData.
    4. Run openjk.x86.exe on Windows, openjk.x86_64 (or openjk.i386) on Linux, or the OpenJK app on macOS.
    5. With the Mac App Store Jedi Academy, install SDL2 with Homebrew, extract the DMG into the game's app bundle, under Contents, and run OpenJK.app or OpenJK SP.app.
    6. Jedi Academy is stable in single player and multiplayer; Jedi Outcast single player works but needs attention, and its multiplayer is not supported.
