In-Depth Information
The OpenArena server runs as a service. We should stop the service and run it on
console to make sure everything runs fine. Once you are happy that everything is
configured properly, you can start the service again.
Sudo service openarena-server stop
/usr/games/openarena-server +exec /etc/openarena-server/server.cfg
Playing OpenArena
The game can be played on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. You should go to the
website for platform-specific clients.
Minecraft
Minecraft
is a sandbox indie game where you are in control of a person that
can build anything you imagine. There are complex blocks that can be used or
programmed to do various server-side calculations. If you would like to see the full
potential of Minecraft, you should visit
BitVegas
. This will be more difficult than the
other servers as we need to install and configure a lot of dependencies.
Installing Java Hard-Float
We will need to go to
https://jdk8.java.net/download.html
, accept the terms,
and copy the link to the Linux ARMv7 HardFP ABI. Now, we need to download the
file, ignoring any certificate problems.
sudo wget --no-check-certificate
http://www.java.net/download/jdk8/archive/b111/binaries/jdk-8-ea-
b111-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-09_oct_2013.tar.gz
Then, enter these lines into the console and replace
<filename>
with the latest file
you have downloaded.
mkdir -p /opt
sudo tar zxvf <filename> -C /opt
rm <filename>
sudo /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java -version
You can start typing the file name and then press
Tab
. This will
autocomplete the filename or display a list of similar names for
your convenience.
