 ===Installing with a premade script===
-An Oni fan has uploaded two install scripts to lutris.net. They can be viewed and downloaded from [https://lutris.net/games/oni/ the game's page] or, if you have Lutris installed, you can simply copy-paste one of the links below into your browser and it will offer to open the install script in Lutris. Make sure to have the Oni CD-ROM (or disk image) ready to be mounted.

-. Once selected, the game's installer will be launched and you can proceed through the screens as usual; when asked for a destination directory, go with the default of C:\Program Files\Oni – this is a directory internal to the Wine prefix being created, not the actual location on your hard drive. Make sure to say "No" when the installer asks if you want to run GLSetup.

-a. (vanilla Oni only) Do not click "Launch" when the Oni installer finishes and closes and you come back to Lutris, because vanilla Oni can't run on modern systems without being patched. Instead, close the Lutris install window and follow step 10 in the next section to install the Daodan DLL, and then you are ready to play Oni through Lutris.
+. (AE Oni only) After the Oni installer finishes and closes, the AE Setup application will run. The default suggested location of Oni, C:\Program Files\Oni, is correct as long as you didn't change it in step 2. Once the AE Installer is downloaded, it will run and download its core mods, including the Daodan DLL patch which allows Oni to run on modern systems.

+Note that if you run the vanilla Oni install script and then also want to install AE Oni, you can't use the default directory that the install script suggests, /home/you/games/oni, because that was already used for vanilla Oni, so use something like /home/you/games/oni-ae instead. However the install directory which the Oni installer suggests, C:\Program Files\Oni, can remain the same since it is internal to the new Wine prefix which Lutris is creating. Note too that the install scripts will create identical entries in the Lutris library so you will need to edit the AE card by right-clicking it and choosing Configure and then changing its name to something like "Oni AE".
