Installation of a Manor Server on UNIX/Linux

Preface/Background

Before we begin to explain the process of installing a Manor server onto a Linux and/or UNIX server we will assume the following:

1. You use and are familiar with a Bash Shell.

2. You use and are familiar with either the text editor Nano or Pico

3. You use and are familiar with a variant of UNIX (Solaris, SCO, etc.), Linux (Red Hat, Debian, etc.), or a BSD variant (NetBSD 2.0, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD).


With that said we will begin the process to install on Linux or NetBSD 2.0

1. Download the Manor binary using wget or fetch. For example, "wget http://www.madwolfsw.com/manor.tar.gz" or "fetch http://www.madwolfsw.com/manor.tar.gz"

2. Unpack the compressed tarball using the following: "gunzip manor.tar.gz; tar -xf manor.tar"

3. Switch to the directory which was just created: "cd manor/"

4. Create a directory to store the files for the web. I've configured Apache to allow user directories. If you have done the same issue the following: "mkdir ~/public_html"

5. Execute the Manor binary: "./manord"

6. Answer the questions pertaining to your Manor Server.

FreeBSD is not officially supported by MadWolf Software, these instructions are by a user

Next, we have FreeBSD. This one has a few more steps to allow us to use the Linux version on FreeBSD. However, they are very similar.

The only requirements for this is we have selected Linux binary emulation during the installl and also have a kernel that supports it. The GENERIC kernel has this enabled by default.

1. Download the Manor binary using wget or fetch. For example, "wget http://www.madwolfsw.com/manor.tar.gz" or "fetch http://www.madwolfsw.com/manor.tar.gz"

2. Unpack the compressed tarball using the following: "gunzip manor.tar.gz; tar -xf manor.tar"

3. Switch to the directory which was just created: "cd manor/"

4. Create a directory to store the files for the web. I've configured Apache to allow user directories. If you have done the same issue the following: "mkdir ~/public_html"

5. Now we must issue a command to allow the manord binary to be recognized as an emulated binary. We issue "brandelf -t Linux manord" which will imprint the binary as a Linux binary in the ELF format.

6. Execute the Manor binary: "./manord"

7. Answer the questions pertaining to your Manor Server.
