<h1>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p>The Evennia server is installed, run and maintained from the terminal (console/CMD on Windows). Starting the server
|
||
doesn’t make anything visible online. Once you download everything you can in fact develop your game in complete
|
||
isolation if you want, without needing any access to the internet.</p>
|
||
<p>Evennia requires <a class="reference external" href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">Python</a> 3.9 or 3.10.
|
||
Using a <a class="reference internal" href="../Glossary.html#virtualenv"><span class="std std-doc">Python virtualenv</span></a> is highly recommended in order to keep your
|
||
Evennia installation independent from the system libraries. Don’t install Evennia as
|
||
administrator or superuser.</p>
|
||
<div class="admonition warning">
|
||

||
<p>pip install evennia is not yet available in develop branch. Use the <a class="reference internal" href="Installation-Git.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">git installation</span></a>.</p>

||
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>pip install evennia
|

</pre></div>
|

</div>
|
||
<p>Once installed, make sure the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evennia</span></code> command works. Use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evennia</span> <span class="pre">-h</span></code> for usage help. If you are using a
|
||
virtualenv, make sure it’s active whenever you need to use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evennia</span></code> command.</p>
|
||
<p>Alternatively, you can <a class="reference internal" href="Installation-Git.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">install Evennia from github</span></a> or use <a class="reference internal" href="Installation-Docker.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">docker</span></a>.
|
||
Check out <a class="reference internal" href="Installation-Troubleshooting.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">installation troubleshooting</span></a> if you run into problems. Some
|
||
users have also experimented with <a class="reference internal" href="Installation-Android.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">installing Evennia on Android</span></a>.</p>

<p>Use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cd</span></code> to enter a folder where you want to do your game development. Here (and in
|
||
the rest of the Evennia documentation) we call this folder <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mygame</span></code>, but you should of course

name your game whatever you like.</p>

<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>evennia --init mygame
|

</pre></div>

|

<p>This will create a new folder <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mygame</span></code> (or whatever you chose) in your current location. This

<p>If all went well, the server is now up and running. Point a legacy MUD/telnet client to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">localhost:4000</span></code> or
