Intro:
By writing this tutorial current version is CentOS is
# - for root
$ - for normal user
none for "doesn't matter which one you're using" but I'd rather prefer to don't change between users.
You can check it with issuing for own system:
# cat /etc/redhat-release
and update with
# yum check-update
# yum distribution-synchronization
Dependencies:
Before we begin install dependencies:
# yum install compat-readline5 compat readline5.i686 glibc
if you face problems with missing packages just use this:
# yum provides <libraryname (ex. libreadline.so.5)>
and install packages that provide it with yum install , keep in mind there are different flavors for multiarch with .i686 .x86_64 suffix that also makes the difference.
Then follow wiki https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Installing_and_Running_MTASA_Server_on_GNU_Linux but look below because additionaly I described how to install resources:
Main binary
Download the latest stable Linux binaries from here:
wget [url=http://linux.mtasa.com/dl/134/multitheftauto_linux-1.3.4.tar.gz]http://linux.mtasa.com/dl/134/multithef ... 3.4.tar.gz[/url]
Unpack into a directory:
tar -xf multitheftauto_linux*
Default config
Download the default config files:
wget [url=http://linux.mtasa.com/dl/134/baseconfig-1.3.4.tar.gz]http://linux.mtasa.com/dl/134/baseconfig-1.3.4.tar.gz[/url]
Unpack and move into the deathmatch directory:
(Note: Only do this for new installations as it will overwrite any existing config files.)
tar -xf baseconfig*
mv baseconfig*/* multitheftauto_linux*/mods/deathmatch
Test
You can now test if the server will start correctly, by entering the install directory:
cd multitheftauto_linux*
and launching:
./mta-server
or to launch server in background:
./mta-server -d
Resources
Go to deathmatch directory
cd mods/deathmatch
Create new directory named "resources" and enter it
mkdir resources && cd resources
Download resources (find latest version at http://mirror.mtasa.com/mtasa/resources/):
wget [url=http://mirror.mtasa.com/mtasa/resources/mtasa-resources-r988.zip]http://mirror.mtasa.com/mtasa/resources ... s-r988.zip[/url]
Extract resources with:
unzip mtasa-resources-r988.zip
then launch server again (guided as per Test section)
Additional information:
Any thoughts? Use official wiki it really describes every step to get set up
optionally you will also need to edit files from your multitheftauto_linux*/mods/deathmatch directory mtaserver.conf and acl.xml but it's up to you what you will use to do it. I used vim editor as it comes installed by default, but for complete beginners nano is easier. Install it with:
# yum install nano
then edit files using it (CTRL+X keys to close file, at prompt use Y button and confirm with ENTER to save:
nano multitheftauto_linux*/mods/deathmatch/mtaserver.conf
nano multitheftauto_linux*/mods/deathmatch/acl.xml
