* 1. Open terminal (You can use PuTTy).
* 2. Create a new user for the server (You can skip this but it is highly recommended that you do). <pre>sudo useradd -d /home/vcmpserver -m vcmp</pre>
* 2. Now disconnect and login with the new user account and make sure you're on this directory <pre> /home/vcmpserver/</pre>
* 3. (FOR 64-bit USERS) Download the server by pasting this in the terminal: <pre>wget http://v04.maxorator.com/server/VCMP04_server_v15_linux64.zip</pre>
(FOR 32-bit USERS) Download the x86 server by pasting this in the terminal <pre>wget http://v04.maxorator.com/server/VCMP04_server_v15_linux32.zip</pre>
* 4. Unzip the server by typing (If this doesn't work install unzip using: sudo apt-get install unzip): <pre> unzip VCMP04_server_v15_linux64.zip</pre> For 32 bit: <pre> unzip VCMP04_server_v15_linux32.zip</pre>
* 4. Make a new directory for the plugins using: <pre> mkdir plugins </pre>
* 5. (FOR 64-bit USERS) Download the plugins pack: <pre> wget http://v04.maxorator.com/files/plugins/mp04rc2_plugins64_linux.zip </pre>
(FOR 32-bit USERS) Download the plugins pack: <pre> wget http://v04.maxorator.com/files/plugins/mp04rc2_plugins32_linux.zip </pre>
* 6. Extract the plugins: <pre> unzip mp04rc2_plugins64_linux.zip OR unzip mp04rc2_plugins32_linux.zip </pre>
* 7. Now go back to the server directory using: <pre> cd /home/vcmpserver </pre>
* 5. Open the server.conf file and change the server name and the rest of the stuff using nano (Press CTRL+X than Y to save and close it when done): <pre> nano server.conf</pre>
* 6. Set permissions using <pre> chmod +x ./mpsvrrel64</pre> For 32 bit: <pre>chmod +x ./mpsvrrel32</pre>
* 7. Run the server using <pre>./mpsvrrel64</pre> For 32bit: <pre>./mpsvrrel32</pre>
To keep the server running after closing the terminal we'll use screen: <pre>screen ./mpsvrrel64</pre> For 32-bit: <pre>screen ./mpsvrrel32</pre>
To view the server console after you've closed the terminal once use: <pre>screen -r</pre>
To close the server press while viewing the console: <pre>CTRL+C</pre>
(IN CASE YOU'RE USING THE ROOT USER MAKE A NEW DIRECTORY FOR THE SERVER USING: mkdir vcmpserver)
