• Debian/Ubuntu
• Archlinux

CentOS/RHEL/Fedora

If you don't already have a development environment setup, run the following:

yum groupinstall -y development

Install development headers and tools:

yum install -y boost-devel cmake git libmysqlclient-devel zlib-devel

After installing all dependencies, you can proceed to download, build, and configure.

Debian/Ubuntu

If you don't already have a development environment setup, run the following:

apt install -y build-essential

Install development headers and tools:

apt install cmake git libboost-dev libmysqlclient-dev zlib1g-dev

After installing all dependencies, you can proceed to download, build, and configure.

Archlinux

If you don't already have a development environment setup, run the following:

pacman -Sy --needed base-devel

Install development headers and tools:

pacman -Sy boost-libs cmake git libmariadbclient

After installing all dependencies, you can proceed to download, build, and configure.

Download

git clone --recursive https://github.com/SapphireMordred/Sapphire.git sapphire

Build

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j 4

Configure

The build will output the binaries into bin/ in the top level folder, along with a subdirectory for config files. You will need the game data files plus a running MySQL DB to point the binaries at. You can then run the servers as normal processes.
