Windows version…

Running the Windows version should be trivial.

Linux version…

The Linux version is linked against external packages that you need to install for the game to work. These packages can be installed with sudo apt-get install libfreetype libglfw3 libjpegturbo0 libncurses libogg libopenal libpng libsqlite3 libssl libtheora libvorbis libxrandr mesa-common zlib1g. You can read about the libraries in the readme.md file.

MacOS version…

The MacOS version is self-contained and only basic stdlibs are required to run which should already be included by default in any system. However, opening the disk image will require you to bypass Gatekeeper as I do not wish to sign it with personal information and have therefore used a self-signed certificate instead. To bypass Gatekeeper, simply run the Terminal.app and chdir to the directory where you downloaded the disk image with chdir ~/Downloads and then execute the following command to remove the quarantine flag from the disk image archive with xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Diggers-R<x>-MacOS-Universal.dmg where <x> is the version of this application. You should then be able to mount the disk image and run the game without any issue.
