Setting up the Server

• 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
  

• Run the make install commands (note: this will take awhile)

  make -j$BUILD_CORES
  make install
  

• Download the data.zip file with the game files in it.

  wget https://github.com/wowgaming/client-data/releases/download/v19/Data.zip
