Install nodejs for your operating system.
On windows, go to NodeJS Download page and download either the .msi file or use powershell to download it.
On mac, go to NodeJS Download page and download either the .pkg file or use bash to download it.
On linux you use your package manager to download nodejs.
If you downloaded it with npm instead of yarn you can install yarn using:
npm install -g yarn
To compile we update the dependencies with yarn and run the build script:
yarn
yarn build
The env var PORT controls which port the game server will bind to.
PORT=8080 yarn start
To run the server with a map other than the default one use the -map argument:
PORT=8080 yarn start -map demo
To disable bots use the no-bots argument:
PORT=8080 yarn start no-bots
You can edit the file config.json to your heart's contempt then restart the server.
You can also edit or add any map file in the maps folder and use the -map option when starting the server.
