Note: Normally installing the content from the ingame content installer is enough.

The mod expects the original Red Alert 2 game assets and original Yuri's Revenge assets in place. Put the .mix archives in the following directory depending on your operating system.

Confirm the content path:

Run Utility command: --display-content-path to determine the OpenRA content path, after run this command, it will output like this:

OpenRA Content Path: <YourOpenRAContentPath>

Red Alert 2 Directory:

Windows: <YourOpenRAContentPath>\ra2\
Mac OSX: <YourOpenRAContentPath>/ra2/
Linux: <YourOpenRAContentPath>/ra2/
Create the ra2 directory if it does not exist.

Yuri's Revenge Directory:

Mac OSX: <YourOpenRAContentPath>/yr/

Create the yr directory if it does not exist.
