Installation

Work in Progress

Please keep in mind here that this project is currently a work in progress. If there are any issues, please create an issue and we'll do our best to look into it.

Clone the Repo

Firstly, we'll need to clone the repo.

Linux

We recommend that you use the /opt directory. However, you are free to do as you please.

cd /opt

git clone https://github.com/Shackelford-Arden/minecraftScripts.git

You may need to use sudo or simply adjust the permissions on the /opt directory.

Install the control panel

While not a requirement, we recommend that you install and configure the web-based control panel first. The control panel will provide the functionality that you need to install and/or configure your Minecraft Server.

cd minecraftScripts/

chmod +x installControlPanel.sh

./installControlPanel.sh

Open your browser of choice to https://localhost:1337

Follow the instructions.

If you'd like to configure your control panel to have a custom domain, see here.

Install the Minecraft Server

For those who wish to not worry about using the control panel, continue on here.
