Download the generic package from GitHub releases page, unpack it to some folder, launch tes3mp-browser straightaway if you already have set up OpenMW on your system once or launch openmw-wizard to do that, then launch tes3mp-browser and join a server. Done.

Can you also give me an advice how to install Boost 1.64.0 for TES3mp, please? Because in repositories is 1.58. I've tried a lot of things, but no one help.

On Linux Manjaro I had also problems with running files ending .x86_64. "error while loading shared libraries", though not the Boost one. Running the game just "./tes3mp-browser" or "./tes3mp" solved the problems though. Running like that it really worked just out of the box, given that OpenMW was installed (but that also worked out of the box, I installed it prebuilt from repository).

Thanks unelsson, your advice helped me.
It's a bit uncomfortable, if I need change some preferences I must open OpenMW launcher separately, but at least I can play. :3
