If installed, you should find the locations of your Python, MySQL, and other dependencies before you begin.

First, you need to clone the files from the ASSS repository.

• hg clone https://bitbucket.org/grelminar/asss ../asss

Then, after the files have transferred, you will need to build the program files from source code.

• cd src
• mv system.mk.dist system.mk

If you have Python or MySQL installed, you must point the compiler at them.

• vim system.mk

Find the following lines and change them to their respective locations

• MYSQL_HOME = /opt/mysql
• PYTHON_HOME = /usr

If you do NOT have Python or MySQL installed, you must comment out the following lines, by adding a # in front of them:

• have_bdb := yes
• have_mysql := yes
• have_python := yes

Then build the files.

• make

You will then get to watch a nice wall of spam.

Because the developers wanted to be able to update everything on a server already running ASSS, you must now copy all the files into their proper locations.

• cd dist
• mv arenas ../arenas
• mv clients ../clients
• mv conf ../conf
• mv maps ../maps
• mv news.txt ../news.txt
• mv scrty ../scrty
• mv scrty1 ../scrty1
• cd ..

Since the security module does not exist yet, you will have to go into modules.conf

• comment out security:security
• comment out security:enc_cont
• uncomment enc_null

Since the scoring module apparently does not exist yet, you will have to copy scoring.so from a preexisting server into your bin directory.

• new server owners are screwed
• uncomment out all scoring:*
• hope you don't like points

For ease of access, you may want to move the run-asss script to the root directory.

• cd scripts

Update ASSSHOME with the path to your ASSS root directory.

• vim run-asss
• mv run-asss ../run [optional]

After you have completed the installation, you must now configure your server.
