wget https://s3.solidfilesusercontent.com/NDAwODdhNGRkNjI2MDFhMjAyZmMzM2QyMzllMmNhMGY1ZjNiNjU4ZDoxWGt2TGE6WkxpVC00Mk1WRTkxclVyMlBvemNjekFKdy1J/8d0f9b7fef/vcmp04linux32.zip
  • 4. Unzip the server by typing:
     unzip vcmp04linux64.zip
    For 32 bit:
     unzip vcmp04linux32.zip
  • 5. Open the server.conf file and change the server name using:
     nano server.conf
  • 6. Set permissions using
     chmod +x ./mpsvrrel64

    .mpsvrrel64
  • 7. Run the server using
    ./mpsvrrel64

    ./mpsvrrel32
To keep the server running after closing the terminal we'll use screen:
screen ./mpsvrrel64

screen ./mpsvrrel32
