Read the yellow message.

To sum it up, download the "recommended build". Place this in a folder. Then look for the startup command. Put that in a txt file, then save it as start.bat . then click start.bat, then everything will automaticly insall

 

i'm really a starter. I dont know what any of that means. I really want EXACT STEPS. thx

 

Check out http://wiki.bukkit.org/Setting_up_a_server bbm5

 

yes i read that but it's really too confusing. What is the dictionary files or the txt files? Or the RUN files? I have WinRAR if i need that for something. plz exat steps from YOU

 

Ok I will be as detailed as possible.
Download this http://repo.bukkit.org/service/loca...org.bukkit&a=craftbukkit&v=RELEASE&r=releases
Put it in a folder called bukkit.

Then open notepad, and type the following:
Echo OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-1.1-R3.jar
PAUSE

Then save it as startup.bat (make sure you selece all files on save as type) and put it in the same folder as the file you downloaded before.

Doubleclick on startup.bat, and everything should install

 

Sorry to bump an old post, but when I double click on the startup.bat it gives me the message "The system cannot find the path specified. Press any key to continue..." and when I press any key it close it. Any idea how to get pass that?

I got the same message and figured it out. It's because, if you read what it says in the command prompt, or whatever program is used to say that message, it will say it cannot find craftbukkit1.1, what you must do, is (if you downloaded the file from MetalMadness's link) just copy what it's called. So it should say craftbukkit-1.2.3-R0.2.jar

Trust me. I'm a doctor. hahaha

 

I still get the same message.

Is it supposed to look like this?

 

I can't believe this is so hard.... IAmAStegohSorus
You have to name it to whatever the name of the .jar is in the folder... -.-

 

What the hell do you think I'm doing? I never used bukkit before in my life, I never even knew it existed. This is all new to me and so far I keep getting the same message as before, I am changing it to craftbukkit-1.2.3-R0.2.jar, that is the name on the .jar in the folder.

EDIT: *sigh* I'm sorry for getting snappy, it's just I want to make a minecraft server but with plugins so that game is more fun to play.

 

For that reason I 'created' that repack, everything is set up out-of-the-box (after clicking on an update.bat as well) and blabla...

Does this work on a mac

 

The 'Craftbukkit Auto Installer' by ImminentFate had only .bats i remember, but i can't checked, as it is currently removed from the forums. Mine has only .bats for windows like ImminentFate's, but i could decide to make it *nix and Mac compatible.
