= Neo Core -- Linux installation instructions =

Copyright (C) Neo Core (http://www.neocore.info)

Installing Neo Core is fairly simple on a Linux machine, assuming

you have all required applications

The most important ones are:

g++

gcc

make

cmake version 2.6.x or greater

libmysql++-dev

subversion (for checking out Trinity Database)

mercurial (for checking out the core)

openssl

libssl-dev

zlib1g-dev

libtool

libmysqlclient15-dev

patch

build-essential

mysql-client

Most of these are included on common Linux distros, others you may have to install by your self.

Please check your distro's repos.

Make a directory to build in, you can call it anything you want like build or bin etc, then go into

the directory and cmake and make. E.G. you created a dir named build ad want to have your final

compiled product installed in /home/neo/server, an example sequence of commands can be :

cmake ../ -DPREFIX=/home/neo/server

make

make install

Thats just about all thats needed. You can however tweak more settings than where to install using flags built into our cmake files. Just open up CMakeLists.txt in the main folder and take a look at some of the flags like

DACE_LIBRARY=<path/to/libace.so>

DACE_INCLUDE_DIR=<path/to/ace/include/dir>

DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=<path/to/OpenSSL/library>

DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=<path/to/OpenSSL/includes/dir>

DO_MYSQL --mysql database support (enabled or disabled by a 1 or 0, enabled by default)

DO_SCRIPTS --enable or disable neo script (enabled or disabled by a 1 or 0, enabled by default)

DO_RA --remote administration (enabled or disabled by a 1 or 0)

DO_DEBUG --enable debugging (enabled or disabled by a 1 or 0)

DO_CLI --enable command line support (enabled or disabled by a 1 or 0, enabled by default)

DE_WARN --enable enable complie warnings (enabled or disabled by a 1 or 0, disabled by default)

LARGE_CELL --enable large cells (enabled or disabled by a 1 or 0, disabled by default, enabling can cause CPU spikes)

SHORT_SLEEP --changes sleep time from 100ms to 50ms

PREFIX --prefix directory for install (see example for use)

CONF_DIR --location for your neo config files

CMAKE_C_FLAGS --advanced users only

CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS --advanced users only

Of course, replace the paths in prefix, conf_dir with the directories you wish to install

Neo Core to. The datadir is where maps, DBCs, and SQLs are stored. The sysconfdir

is where configuration files are stored.

Once NeoCore is installed you will need to

apply database updates where necessary. Furthermore, you must

configure your installation by editing the config files in the

sysconfdir.
