Required Files:Quake III Arena:
A retail copy of Quake III Arena fully patched to version 1.32c is required. Consider grabbing the full version of the game from these sources and copy the baseq3 folder into your sourceport install folder. Both GOG and Steam offer Quake III Arena and Quake III Team Arena for the price of one.  
Quake Live:
Quake Live is a standalone game only available on Steam and contains the majority if not all of the content from Quake III Arena and Quake III Team Arena with some touch-ups. Also included are the most popular community made maps, but most importantly, there are engine level improvements for smoother gameplay on modern computers at higher framerates. A copy of Quake Live from Steam is all you need. If a server contains custom content, it will be served to you through Steam Workshop.
Challenge ProMode Arena:
For the best CPMA experience, the official website offers both mod files and installation guides. It is highly advisable to create a dedicated sourceport folder for CPMA and using CNQ3 as your sourceport. 
Recommended Sourceports:Quake3e enhances Quake III Arena and Team Arena with a focus on modern systems. It offers crucial fixes, Vulkan support for improved graphics performance, and even CPMA compatibility.
