Currently, there are only instructions for setting up a server on Linux. Feel free to add instructions for other platforms.

For additional details, see administration tips.

Setting up an AAGRINDER server on Linux

You'll need these things installed:

Acquire the AAGRINDER server software:

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/MRAAGH/aagrinder.git
$ cd aagrinder
$ npm install

You also need the AAGRINDER terrain generator (compiled from source):

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/MRAAGH/aagrinder-terrain.git
$ cd aagrinder-terrain
$ make

The directory aagrinder-terrain should be inside the directory aagrinder.

Move back to the directory aagrinder, then start the server:

$ cd ..
$ npm start


A config.json file will be created. You can change the server configuration, although the defaults should already be functional.

Now, anyone who can access your computer via internet can easily connect to your aagrinder server.
