A lot of people pack the game folder with the tileset installed and everything already set up, so all you have to do is extract and play. Among the most popular of these are [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53180.0 Ironhand's Graphics Set] and [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57557.0 Phoebus' Graphic Set]. |

The only disadvantage to downloading LNP is that there is usually some lag time between when a new version of the game is released and when the LNP is updated to include it. So, if a new version of the game has just been released it may not be in the LNP yet. |

The entire folder can be dragged into the Applications folder or placed elsewhere.
