More server troubles

[waggythegeek]

So, i'm following this guide https://www.linode.com/docs/applications/game-servers/minecraft-on-debian-and-ubuntu and i was on "Installing Minecraft" step 3, and I have no clue what commands to execute in order to do what they are asking. Can someone help explain it to me?

Navigate to the folder where your server jar is then executed the command

java -Xms1024M -Xmx1536M -jar minecraft_server.1.10.2.jar -o true

You can change the RAM amount and the name of the jar file to whatever you have it set as.

Nevermind. I see that you are creating a server using a 3rd party program. Lemme look at it for a bit

I see. Open whatever text editor is on Linux and copy all that into it. Then save it as run.sh

I thought it was run.bat

 

Edit: nevermind, that's windows

Use something like Gedit, the Notepad (from Windows) equivalent for Linux. If you don't already have it then use this command

sudo apt-get install gedit

 

You can type gedit into the terminal to open it or by going to Applications → Accessories → Text Editor

Um, does this operate purely in command line? Looks to be window-based, and I have no access to a desktop.

If you can't open a window, then an alternative is Vim which is command line based I think. Get it by using this command

sudo apt-get install vim

Like Gedit, run it by using the command vim

Try nano should be preinstalled and easyer to use than vim.
