Build Tools
JDK
The Stendhal server and legacy client are both written in Java. To run either requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). To compile server or client, a Java Development Kit (JDK) is necessary. Most JDK distributions include a JRE.
JDK on Unix
Some Unix/Linux/BSD systems have a JDK pre-installed (usually OpenJDK). If not, most will have a version available from the system package manager.
Example of installing on Ubuntu:
# install version 17 $ sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk
Example of installing on Arch:
# install default version $ sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk # install version 17 $ sudo pacman -S jdk17-openjdk
Example of installing on FreeBSD:
# install pre-built package of version 17 $ sudo pkg install openjdk17 # compile version 17 from Ports source $ cd /usr/ports/java/openjdk17 $ sudo make install clean
JDK on Windows
Packages for Windows can be downloaded from either oracle.com or for OpenJDK, from jdk.java.net. If you download a portable .zip package, you will need to manually configure the PATH environment variable so the system knows where the java and javac executables are located. It may also be necessary to configure the JAVA_HOME environment variable. The recommended method is to use an installer package (.exe or .msi) as these will configure the necessary environment variables automatically.
JDK on macOS
Packages for macOS can be downloaded from either oracle.com or for OpenJDK, from jdk.java.net. But the recommended method is to install from the Homebrew Package Manager as it will configure the necessary environment variables automatically.
Example of installing on macOS using Homebrew:
# install version 17 $ brew install openjdk@17
