- `git clone https://github.com/modernuo/ModernUO.git`
- Open `ModernUO.sln` to start developing
## Building/Publishing
#### Interactive Mode (Recommended for new users)
Run `./publish.cmd` (Windows) or `./publish.sh` (Linux/macOS) with no arguments to launch the guided build tool. It will:
- Check prerequisites (.NET SDK, native libraries)
- Walk you through configuration and platform selection
- Build and publish the server to the `Distribution` directory
- Show deployment instructions for cross-compiled builds
#### Command Line
```shell
./publish.cmd [release|debug] [os] [arch]
```
- `os` - [Supported operating systems](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/10.0/supported-os.md)
- `win` - [Windows](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows)
- `osx` - [macOS](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/macos)
- `linux` - [Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux)

dnf upgrade --refresh -y
# RHEL-family distributions (CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Rocky, RHEL) need CRB and EPEL enabled.
# Fedora skips this block.
dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
dnf install -y epel-release
# Prerequisites
dnf install -y findutils libicu libdeflate-devel zstd libargon2-devel
```
### Ubuntu, Debian, etc
```shell
apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y libicu-dev libdeflate-dev zstd libargon2-dev
```
## OSX Requirements
```shell
brew install icu4c libdeflate zstd argon2
```
## Running the Server
- Follow the [publish](https://github.com/modernuo/ModernUO#buildingpublishing) instructions
- The `Distribution` directory is portable — copy it to your production server for deployment
- Run `ModernUO.exe` or `dotnet ModernUO.dll` from the `Distribution` directory
- On first run, the server will prompt you to configure game data file locations
