For '''easy''' H2 database configuration (which is shipped with Stendhal and is installation-free) just skip straight to '''Choosing the Java Virtual Machine'''.

For '''advanced''' MySQL configuration, install MySQL:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Also download the java connector library if necessary (it's called ''MySQL Connector/J'' ), and make sure a symbolic/soft link to it named ''mysql-connector.jar'' is on the classpath (e.g. in the directory called ''libs'' inside the ''stendhal_server'' directory) when running ''maraurorad'' later.

For example:

ln -s /path/to/file-name/mysql-connector-java-5.1.10.jar mysql-connector.jar

== Choosing the Java Virtual Machine ==

*''java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun''

*''java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj''

*''java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk''

now, lets say you want to use the ''java-6-openjdk''. Then you type

Now run

java --version

again to check it worked.

== Getting the materials ==

Download a current version of the Stendhal server, ''stendhal-server-{{version}}.zip'' from [http://arianne.sourceforge.net/?arianne_url=games/game_stendhal#downloadsection arianne.sf.net].

If you want to compile it yourself from CVS or the source code provided at the downloads link, then see [[HowToBuildStendhal|How to build Stendhal]] for more info. If you run a Linux System, then you have the necessary tools to get everything else.
