Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to get your own local Stendhal server installed on Windows.

At least in some places, this guide uses the spanish version of Windows XP®. Sorry for the inconveniences. :(

This document presents a step-by-step walkthrough of the installing and running process. The whole process can be a bit long because of the number of steps and substeps but it isn't really difficult as you must only follow a sequence of well defined steps.

Overview

Listed below are the major steps required to install and run Stendhal as a localhost server on Windows XP®:

• Step 1. Install and configure MySQL
• Step 2. Create a MySQL database
• Step 3. Step removed! - because marauroa is included in the stendhal distribution now.
• Step 4. Install Stendhal server
• Step 5. Configure marauroa to access the MySQL database
• Step 6. Run MySQL as a service (if it is not running already)
• Step 7. Run Stendhal server as localhost
• Step 8. Install and run Stendhal client as localhost
