Installing ASSS on Linux
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 cnange 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 ..
For ease of access, you may want to move the run-asss script to the root directory. [optional]
- cd scripts
- mv run-asss run
After you have completed the installation, you must now configure your server.
