Building from Source

Install Rust
[Linux/unix] Make sure perl is installed¹
Clone the repository
Run cargo build --release
The executable will be located in target/release

Note for server owners:

When the launcher updates itself on Windows it will restart by spawning a new console. If you are automating this process, you should probably use --skip-launcher-update and download the latest launcher yourself from here.

The linux build does not update itself.
