User:ExtremeHeat11/sandbox/Setting up a server/Getting started

Getting started
To get started, you want to first install the latest server JAR or EXE depending on your OS.

You can find the latest server software from https://minecraft.net/download.

When you have this, create a dedicated FOLDER, or DIRECTORY to run the server from.

For the purposes of this tutorial, please rename the server software as such:

If using the EXE: rename the server software to just.

If using the JAR: rename the server software to just.

After you have done this, you are set to continue.

See one of the following guides: Windows - Mac OSX - Linux.
