Installation

You need to:

• Download the latest version
• Unzip and run the installation program

To play against a game engine (GNU Go, Go169, MoGo, etc.), you must download it and declare it in the game engine tab of the option dialog. All common engines are predefined and you don't have to bother with command line parameters. This is described here.

libkombilo

Drago is interfaced and installed with the libkombilo library. This open source library is developed by Ulrich Goertz and provides all functions from his database program Kombilo.
