## 1) Installing the requirements
Make sure your system fits with the [requirements](https://github.com/AzerothCore/azerothcore-wotlk/wiki/Requirements).
## 2) Getting the source files
`git clone https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk.git azerothcore`
## 3) Compiling
### Compiling on GNU/Linux or Mac OS X
`cd azerothcore`
`mkdir build; cd build`
Before running the CMake command, replace `/home/youruser/azeroth-server/` with the path of the server installation (where you want to place the compiled binaries).
**CMake on Linux:**
`cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/youruser/azeroth-server/ -DTOOLS=0 -DSCRIPTS=1`
**CMake on Mac OS X:**
`cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/youruser/azeroth-server/ -DTOOLS=0 -DSCRIPTS=1 -DMYSQL_ADD_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include -DMYSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.dylib -DREADLINE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/readline/include -DREADLINE_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.dylib -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.dylib -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.dylib`
Then, replacing `4` with the number of threads that you want to execute, type:
`make -j 4`
`make install`
### Compiling on Windows
Open CMake , press `Browse Source...` button and select the folder that you cloned earlier then press `Browse Build...` and select a folder where the CMake will generate the build files. Press the `Configure` button.
CMake will ask you to select what compiler to use. For example you'll want to select `Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64` to compile x64 binaries using Visual Studio 2015. Do not change the `Use default native compilers` option. Press `Finish` and wait until CMake is done checking for requires files.
Change `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` to the location where you will run your server from.
Press `Configure` once again and then press `Generate`. If no error occurred you can close CMake.
Go to the location where the build files have been generated and open AzerothCore.sln
_Note: If MySQL is not found by CMake it is required to set MYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR = C:/mysql_libs/include and MYSQL_LIBRARY= C:/mysql_libs/lib_XX/libmysql.lib._
_XX depends if you are compiling in 32 or 64 bits mode. ( See [Windows Requirements article](Requirements#windows) )_
Press `BUILD` then select `Build solution` or press F6.
Wait until the Build has been finished (It should take between 10-40 minutes depending on your hardware).
You will find your freshly compiled binaries in the Build\bin\Release or Build\bin\Debug folder. These are all used to run your server at the end of this instruction.
You will need the following files in order for the core to function properly:
```
libeay32.dll
libmySQL.dll
ssleay32.dll
ace.dll
worldserver.conf.dist
worldserver.exe
authserver.conf.dist
authserver.exe
```
Copy `libeay32.dll` and `ssleay32.dll` from OpenSSL install folder into `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`.
Copy `libmysql.dll` from your MYSQL_LIBRARY path into `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`
**Note:** Do not use ARM architecture as azerothcore requires SSE2 and ARM doesn't support it.
## 4) Setting the configuration files
Inside the directory where you installed the binaries (e.g. `/home/youruser/azeroth-server/`), open the directory where configuration files has been installed ( `etc/` on linux ) , then:
- copy the file `authserver.conf.dist` and rename it to `authserver.conf` ( DO NOT REMOVE THE .dist FILE )
- copy the file `worldserver.conf.dist` and rename it to `worldserver.conf` ( DO NOT REMOVE THE .dist FILE )
_Please Read [How to edit .conf files](how-to-work-with-conf-files) article to understand how configuration files work, and why you need the .dist file too_
Open both `authserver.conf` and `worldserver.conf` files and go to the `MYSQL SETTINGS` section, then set the variables:
`LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;your_password;auth"`
`WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;your_password;world"`
`CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;your_password;characters"`
replacing `your_password` with the password of your MySQL server root user
(the `authserver.conf` has the `LoginDatabaseInfo` variable only).
In the worldserver.conf file, also set:
`DataDir = "/home/youruser/azeroth-server/data"`
replacing `/home/youruser/azeroth-server` with the path where you installed the binaries.
## 5) Download the data files
Go to the directory of your azeroth server (e.g. `/home/youruser/azeroth-server`) and create a new directory named `data`
Download [this archive](https://mega.nz/#F!FMYzASKA!M-RY7OgXUR0nhWpnPKwusg). It contains several archives, extract all of them placing the extracted `dbc`, `maps`, `mmaps`, `vmaps` directories inside the data directory.
## 6) Setting up the database
### MySQL client tool
In order to set up your database, you can use whatever MySQL client you like. Some examples are [HeidiSQL](http://www.heidisql.com/download.php), [SequelPro](http://www.sequelpro.com/) and [phpMyAdmin](https://www.phpmyadmin.net/).
We will assume that you already know how to perform the basic tasks like creating a new database, selecting a database and importing a SQL dump file. If you don't, don't worry: it's very easy and you will find a lot of guides on Google, whatever MySQL client tool you're using.
### Creating the databases
Create three empty databases:
- `world`
- `characters`
- `auth`
if, for some reasons, you decide to name them differently, remember to edit your `authserver.conf` and `worldserver.conf` accordingly.
### Use the AzerothCore Database Assembler
Move to `azerothcore/bin/db_assembler/`.
run the `db_assembler.sh` script:
`bash ./db_assembler.sh`
it will generate the databases under the `/bin/db_assembler/output` directory of your azerothcore sources directory.
### Import the SQL dumps
Using your MySQL client tool, import all generated mysql files in this order:
base -> updates -> custom ( if any )
## 7) Starting the servers
### GNU/Linux and Mac OS X
Open 2 terminal windows (or terminal tabs) and move to the `bin` directory of your azeroth server (for example `/home/youruser/azeroth-server/bin`),
then in one window/tab type:
`./authserver`
in the other one:
`./worldserver`
### Windows
Run `worldserver.exe` and `authserver.exe` from `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`.
