Languages:

Windows Server
Learn how to start a Windows server following these simple steps.

1. Download the blank server.
2. Download and update the plugins
3. Open the server.cfg file and change your server name.
4. Run server.exe
5. The server can't be accesed from the Internet, you will need to open the server's port

Linux Server
Learn how to start a Linux server following these simple steps.

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).
```
sudo useradd -d /home/vcmpserver -m vcmp
```
2. Now disconnect and login with the new user account and make sure you're on this directory
```
 /home/vcmpserver/
```
3.
- (FOR 64-bit USERS) Download the server by pasting this in the terminal:
```
wget http://v04.maxorator.com/server/VCMP04_server_v22_linux64.zip
```
- (FOR 32-bit USERS) Download the x86 server by pasting this in the terminal
```
wget http://v04.maxorator.com/server/VCMP04_server_v22_linux32.zip
```
4. Unzip the server by typing (If this doesn't work install unzip using: sudo apt-get install unzip):
- For 64 bit:
```
 unzip VCMP04_server_v22_linux64.zip
```
- For 32 bit:
```
 unzip VCMP04_server_v22_linux32.zip
```
5. Make a new directory for the plugins using:
```
 mkdir plugins 
```

6.

(FOR 64-bit USERS) Download the plugins pack:

wget http://files.thijn.ovh/download/e28b0ee6d2fe39afd019245258507290/vcmp_04rel004_lin64-plug_170220.zip

(FOR 32-bit USERS) Download the plugins pack:

wget  http://files.thijn.ovh/download/504c5023ed34f9d655039d2003ca4fa2/vcmp_04rel004_lin32-plug_170220.zip

7. Extract the plugins:

unzip vcmp_04rel004_lin64-plug_170220.zip OR unzip vcmp_04rel004_lin32-plug_170220.zip

8. Now go back to the server directory using:
```
 cd /home/vcmpserver 
```
9. Open the server.cfg 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):
```
 nano server.cfg
```
10. Set permissions using
- For 64 bit:
```
 chmod +x ./mpsvrrel64
```
- For 32 bit:
```
chmod +x ./mpsvrrel32
```
12. Run the server using
- For 64 bit:
```
./mpsvrrel64
```
- For 32bit:
```
./mpsvrrel32
```

To keep the server running after closing the terminal we'll use screen

For 64 bit:
```
screen ./mpsvrrel64
```
For 32-bit:
```
screen ./mpsvrrel32
```

To view the server console after you've closed the terminal once use:

screen -r

To close the server press while viewing the console:

CTRL+C

(IN CASE YOU'RE USING THE ROOT USER MAKE A NEW DIRECTORY FOR THE SERVER USING: mkdir vcmpserver)
