Unzip the archive with unzip pcgen-x.yy.zz-full.zip.Download PCGen to a directory, such as /opt or ~/.local/bin.Linux and BSD users can customize this experience: The application you want, of course, is Java or, if you're asked to input the application launch command manually, java -jar. You usually do this by right-clicking and specifying what application to open the file in.

Since PCGen is a Java application, you don't have to install it after you download it (because you've already got the Java runtime installed).

If you're an avid gamer, it was probably a major milestone for you.īut do you also remember struggling to decipher an empty character sheet and what you were supposed to write down in each box? Remember poring over the core rulebook, cross-referencing one table with a class write-up, the spellbook with your chosen school of magic, and skills to your race?
