Installing

Installing MultiServer is very easy, just follow these simple steps:

Windows

Note: Windows defender may block the app from running because MultiServer is an "unrecognized app". You can safely click "More info" and "Run anyway". This is due to the fact that I do not own an EV code signing certificate. These certificates cost way too much money (over $150/year minimum) for me to feasibly buy them just for an open-source side project won't generate any revenue for me.

MultiServer only provides prebuilt releases for 64-bit (x64) installations of windows, if you use a 32-bit installation or Windows on ARM, read the building from source section.

Download the installer from the releases page (filename ends in .Setup.exe) from the latest release and run the installer.

MacOS

Note: There may be issues with code-signing on MacOS machines. This is due to Apple charging money for a developer account to get signing keys. I am making MultiServer just for fun and a learning experience and will not pay Apple just to be able to distribute my app as it costs too much for me to feasibly spend money on something that I don't expect anything in return from.

Intel (x64) Macs

On the releases page, download the x64 DMG installer (filename ends in x64.dmg) from the latest release and run the installer.

M1 (Apple Silicon/ARM) Macs

On the releases page, download the arm64 DMG installer (filename ends in arm64.dmg) from the latest release and run the installer.

Linux

Debian-based GNU/Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Mint, Pop_OS!, Raspberry Pi OS/Raspbian, etc)

Download the .deb file matching your OS architecture from the releases page from the latest release (filenames end in amd64.deb or arm64.deb. Use your GUI (or to use the terminal, see below) to install the app from the Debian installer.

Using the terminal

Once you downloaded the installer (either using the GUI or using wget/curl), you can use dpkg to install MultiServer. Be sure to use sudo as this command requires root privileges

Other Linux distributions

Download the .zip file from the releases page from the latest release that matches your OS architecture. Unzip the file, and move the resulting folder to anywhere of you choose. Add the multiserver executable within that folder to your PATH environment variable.
