===========================

Install Ubuntu according to my install instructions: https://ubuntu.retro-os.live/Install_Ubuntu.txt

Do these steps as root unless told otherwise... These steps have been tested on Ubuntu 24.04. Some steps may be different on other Linux distros.

Create the evennia account:
	adduser evenniauser
	vi /etc/sudoers
	# Add:
	evenniauser    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
	# Then :w!

Install my utilities:
	cd /home/hotlineuser
	wget https://hotline.retro-os.live/InstallFiles/Hotline_Utils_Latest.zip
	unzip Hotline_Utils_Latest.zip
	rm Hotline_Utils_Latest.zip

Install the required perl modules:
	cd /home/hotlineuser/HotlineBackup
	git pull
	cd /home/hotlineuser/HotlineStartup
	git pull
	cd /home/hotlineuser/PullUpdates
	git pull
	cd /home/hotlineuser/HotlineManagement
	git pull
	./installdeps

Install Evennia:
	cd /home/evenniauser
	chown -R evenniauser:evenniauser /home/evenniauser

	su - evenniauser
	git clone https://github.com/evennia/evennia.git
	python3 -m venv evenv
	source evenv/bin/activate
	pip install -e evennia
	evennia --init mygame
	cd mygame
	evennia migrate
	evennia start

Set up the crontab:
	crontab -e
	@reboot /home/evenniauser/evenv/bin/evenia start

Then:
	evenia start

Listening Ports
	http://yourserver:4001		# Web interface
	telnet://yourserver:4000	# Telnet interface

Set the tools up:
	Go into HotlineBackup, HotlineManagement, PullUpdates, and
	HotlineStartup directories and follow the steps in the README.md files
Edit the config file for your settings:
	hmc
	- or directly:
	nano HotlineFiles/config.yaml

User accounts:

	The default installation includes two users:

	guest (no password)
	admin (default password "admin").

	User administration should be performed from a Hotline client. Avoid editing the files under the Users directory.

Start the server:
	hotline start
