Open Source Arras is beta software. This build is not representative of the final product. Expect bugs and missing features.
This guide covers setting up your server on your own hardware and only supports PCs running up-to-date versions of Windows/macOS/Linux.
You'll first need to install Node.js. It doesn't matter if you pick the LTS or Latest version, they'll both work fine.
Once Node.js is installed, run the command npm i ws. This will install the WebSocket library that Open Source Arras uses.
After installing ws, download the source code of the latest release of Open Source Arras. Extract it once it's downloaded and open either run.bat (if you're on Windows) or run.sh (if you're not). If there aren't any errors, your server will start up. Go to localhost:26301 in your favourite web browser (keep the terminal window open, closing it will shut down the server) to play.

If you want to stay up to date, fork this template, download a git client, and sync the fork whenever there's a major update.
Don't have a supported device or don't want to mess around with localhost? Get a webhost to do the dirty work for you.
Create a new project and choose to import one from GitHub. When prompted for the URL of the repository, type in https://github.com/Taureon/aps-plus-plus.git.
Navigate to server/config.js and replace localhost:26301 with the URL for your project. (For Glitch users, it's your-project.glitch.me (replace your-project with the actual name of your project, it should be above settings)).
For Glitch specifically, go to package.json and replace "node": "18.x" with "node": "16.x". Glitch doesn't currently support Node 18.
After doing that, your server should be ready!
