Time for action — downloading and installing Ogre 3D

We are going to download the Ogre 3D SDK and install it so that we can work with it later.

  1. Go to http://www.ogre3d.org/download/sdk.
  2. Download the appropriate package. If you need help picking the right package, take a look at the next What just happened section.
  3. Copy the installer to a directory you would like your OgreSDK to be placed in.
  4. Double-click on the Installer; this will start a self extractor.
  5. You should now have a new folder in your directory with a name similar to OgreSDK_vc9_v1-7-1.
  6. Open this folder. It should look similar to the following screenshot:
