The Server is the way we link client to each other and handle authentication, compression, and data management. It also allows lua plugins, that system is always being reviewed and improved with detailed instructions on wiki.beammp.com.

Linux / POSIX specific build instructions

Currently only linux and windows are supported (generally).

Prerequisites

All package names are ones found in debian's (debian 10 stable) repositories, but will exist under similar names in other distros. Feel free to PR your own guide for a different distro.

git
make
cmake
g++ (must support ISO C++17)
liblua5.3
libz-dev
rapidjson-dev
libcurl4-openssl-dev (or other libcurl4-*-dev)

How to build

Make sure you have all prerequisites installed
Clone the repository in a location of your choice with git clone --recursive https://github.com/BeamMP/BeamMP-Server
cd into it with cd BeamMP-Server
Run cmake . (with .)
Run make
You will now have a BeamMP-Server file in your directory, which is executable with ./BeamMP-Server. Follow the (windows or linux, doesnt matter) instructions on the wiki for further setup after installation (which we just did), such as port-forwarding and getting a key to actually run the server.

tip: to run the server in the background, simply (in bash, zsh, etc) run: nohup ./BeamMP-Server &!`.
