# Guide on getting a private WoW server running

This is the documentation to create a World of Warcraft server.

**The VM has to have a minimum of 3 cores and 4 gig of memory not less**

**You will set the number of cores during the make steps** 

# Setting up the Server

# Core Installation

* Log into server using putty.
* Create a user names acore with pw acore
    ```
    sudo adduser newuser
    ```
* Then add them to the sudo group
    ```
    sudo usermod -aG sudo newusername
    ```
* Install the needed packages
    ```
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git cmake make gcc g++ clang libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libncurses-dev mysql-server libboost-all-dev
    ```
* Install Mysql
    ```
    export MYSQL_APT_CONFIG_VERSION=0.8.33-1
    ```
* Download the latest Mysql Repository
    ```
    wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_${MYSQL_APT_CONFIG_VERSION}_all.deb
    ```
* Configure the install directory
    ```
    export AC_CODE_DIR=$HOME/azerothcore
    ```
* Clone the Github
    ```
    git clone https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk.git --branch master --single-branch $AC_CODE_DIR
    ```
* Create a direstory named build to keep things organized
    ```
    cd $AC_CODE_DIR
    mkdir build
    cd build
    ```
* Configure for compiling
    ```
    cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ -DWITH_WARNINGS=1 -DTOOLS_BUILD=all -DSCRIPTS=static -DMODULES=static
    ```
* You need to set a variable for the number of cores need for the "make" step. This ensures you do not run out of memory. 
    First check to make sure you have the correct amount of cores on the machine
    ```
     nproc --all
    ```
    Then set the VARIABLE to the max numer.

[!NOTE]
See above important message regaring server requierments.

* This will set a varibale to the number of cores a min. of 3.

    ```
    export BUILD_CORES=`nproc | awk '{print $1 - 1}'`
    ```


* Run the make install commands (note: this will take awhile)
    ```
    make -j$BUILD_CORES
    make install
    ```

# Server Setup
* Go to the directory /azerothcore/env/dist/bin
* You must do the above step to ensure the zip file goes into the correct place. 
* Download the data.zip file with the game files in it.
    ```
    wget https://github.com/wowgaming/client-data/releases/download/v19/Data.zip
    ```
* Unzip the zile in the same folder it is in
    ```
    sudo unzip Data.zip
    ```
* Get the worldserver.conf and authserver.conf from the direstory

    You need to change the name of them, in the directory they are called worldserver.conf.dist and authserver.conf.dist

    You open them in nano and write out, save by taking off the .dist extenstion 

    ```
    nano worldserver.conf.dist
    nano authserver.conf.dist
    ```
