Need help with a server

[chrisjose1913]

Hello i amnew to the world of minetest fresh from the minecraft world :D I am currently setting up a server on a VPS running Ubuntu 14.04 server.

I want to update it to 0.4.10 as it's currently running on 0.4.9

But i can't find a repo for it help ?

Hello and welcome!

There's the minetestdevs/stable, and minetestdevs/daily-builds PPAs. Documentation about adding the repositories is on these pages, in case you don't already know the drill ;P

After setting up the repositories, install using:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install minetestc55

(remove any version you may have installed first!)

If you prefer compiling yourself, there are repositories for the engine and default game content on Github. There are instructions on the README about compiling under Debian based systems.

hello, I successfully ran a minetest server in a ubuntu Amazon ec2 micro instance, by downloading the source code with git, and the default game content. I build the game using the flag for running on place. the docs says that a conf file will be created the first time I run the game, but it is not the case. where must I put my conf file in order to begin to customize the basic world? thanks!

with run in place you need to have conf in root of minetest game

That's not where you should place it; it should be at the root of the Minetest directory.

Running a server does not generate a minetest.conf, only running a client does.
