Quick Start Guide

Client configuration

Get the Client >>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<<

Make sure to uncheck the run eve box before finishing the install, this may be difficult to see on some wine builds as the dialog is partially obscured.

Get a copy of the blue patcher >>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<< and follow the instructions in README.md.

Your client is now ready to run.

NOTE: Do NOT run the Client from the icon you get after installation. Change it to run the /bin/exefile.exe instead of the eve.exe or you will get the launcher and that will attempt to contact CCP and automatically update the client.

Server configuration (From source)

SERVER COMPILATION:

 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
 sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ cmake git
 sudo apt-get install libtinyxml2.6.2-dbg libtinyxml2.6.2 libmysql
 sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dbg
 sudo apt-get install libboost1.54
 
 git clone https://github.com/EvEmu-Project/evemu_Crucible
 cd evemu_Crucible
 mkdir build
 cd build
 cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..
 make -j(Number of cores you have available)
 make install

DATABASE SETUP:

NOTE:

• %devRoot% is where the development files are located.
• These may be the same location but that is not necessary.

1. Open a terminal and go to the directory %devRoot%/evemu_Crucible/sql/
2. Install and setup your database software, for EVEmu we use MariaDB

 sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
 sudo mysql_secure_installation

1. Open your MySQL shell and input the following:

 create database evemu;
 GRANT ALL ON evemu.* TO 'evemu'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOURPASSWORD';

1. In the same SQL directory, run install.sh if you're running Linux or install.bat on Windows
2. Optionally you can seed the market by running these SQL queries:

 use evemu;
 source %devRoot%/evemu_Crucible/sql/seed_and_clean/seed_data.sql;
 source %devRoot%/evemu_Crucible/sql/seed_and_clean/seed_market.sql;
 source %devRoot%/evemu_Crucible/sql/seed_and_clean/seed_station_market.sql;

FINAL STEP:

1. Open eve-server.xml which if you did everything right, should be in %devRoot$/evemu_Crucible/build/dist/etc
2. Scroll towards the bottom of the file, to the database connection info, change <host>db</host> to <host>localhost</host> and save it.
3. Optionally, you can also move a directory back to %devRoot$/evemu_Crucible/build/dist/ and make a 'logs' directory. This will be where EVEmu will be able to save log files.

1. To finally run your EVEmu server, navigate to the %devRoot$/evemu_Crucible/build/dist/bin folder and run the eve-server executable.

 ./eve-server
