A project for unix/linux by Robert Lott during the spring 2012

This project was begun on 4/1/12 and is anticipated to take ? weeks.

Correct configuration of a Server setting to support running a minecraft server

In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:

• cd command
• ls
• -l argument to ls
• understanding of paths, absolute and relative

propose that by learning what each directory holds will provide better knowledge of UNIX.

State the idea or purpose of the project. What are you attempting to pursue?

Upon approval, you'll want to fill this section out with more detailed background information. DO NOT JUST PROVIDE A LINK.

Providing any links to original source material, such as from a project page, is a good idea.

You'll want to give a general overview of what is going to be accomplished (for example, if your project is about installing a web server, do a little write-up on web servers. What is it, why do we need one, how does it work, etc.)

To impliment the the minecraft server jar file through java

State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.

• files and directories: files and directories are the focus of analysis in this exercise

The actual steps taken to accomplish the project. Include images, code snippets, command-line excerpts; whatever is useful for intuitively communicating important information for accomplishing the project.

1. update and upgrade the system first 

2. install java from the supplied site:

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml&sa=U&ei=ng2gT6acNcqItwevyo3dBA&ved=0CB8QFjAA&usg=AFQjCNGDI4y7Kw6dP4upSBTJL7mFMM4d3

3. install the minecraft_server.jar file from the the supported site: http://www.minecraft.net/download&sa=U&ei=2Q6gT4rkHYmztwfO_-ncBA&ved=0CB8QFjAA&usg=AFQjCNHiwaNmqoOZfVT1GTLB1qemBKhSGg

4. if no errors the server can be started with the the following command: java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui. 

This was a easy setup based on the level of difficulty. Most of the time was just reading extra information on the Minecraft site. Just need to buy a copy to play.

In performing this project, the following resources were referenced:

1. www.google.com
2. www.minecraft.net
