macOS

Installing

  1. Head over to GitHub releases: https://github.com/LostArtefacts/TRX/releases
  2. Download the TR2X-Installer.dmg installer image. Mount the image and drag TR2X to the Applications folder.
  3. Run TR2X from the Applications folder. This will show you an error dialog about missing game data files. This is expected at this point, as you have not copied them in yet. However, it's important to run the app first to allow macOS to verify the app bundle's signature.
  4. Find TR2X in your Applications folder. Right-click it and click "Show Package Contents".
  5. Copy your Tomb Raider 2 game data files into Contents/Resources.
