Quick Start Guide

Client configuration

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
