You will need a location for the destination of your developed code. This is referred to as PLAYPATH. Replace this with whatever you have chosen as that location. Create sub-directories lib and log.

When you build the Client, it creates a '''client.jar''' file in the '''dist''' directory of the Client project, and copies the libraries used into the '''lib''' sub-directory.

This is copied when copying the Client files.
When you build the Marauroa engine, it creates a marauroa.jar file in the dist directory of the marauroa project.

== Errors? ==

You should not get any errors, but if you do then there are a few things you can check.

* Your directory and files should be as follows:
<pre>
PLAYPATH (the location into which you chose to put your files)
+- admins.txt (created in deploy server, above)
+- client.jar (created for the client, and copied in deploy client)
+- h2db.h2.db (created if the server runs successfully)
+- h2db.lock.db (created if the server runs successfully)
+- log4j.properties (created for the server, and copied in deploy server)
+- server.ini (created for the server, and copied in deploy server)
+- server_stats.xml (created if the server runs successfully)
+- lib (sub-directory, created above)
| +- h2.jar (copied in deploy server)
| +- log4j.jar (copied in deploy client)
| +- marauroa.jar (copied in deploy client)
| +- server.jar (created for the server, and copied in deploy server)
|- log (sub-directory, created above)
+- server.log (created if the server runs successfully)
</pre>
* Check the files were copied correctly into NetBeans and the .jar files have compiled correctly.

If these are correct, you can try to work out what is wrong from error messages, or delete everything and start again.
