Worlds can be found as separate folders in: `user/worlds/`
Configuration file
------------------
- Default location:
`user/minetest.conf`
- This file is created by closing Minetest for the first time.
- A specific file can be specified on the command line:
`--config <path-to-file>`
- A run-in-place build will look for the configuration file in
`location_of_exe/../minetest.conf` and also `location_of_exe/../../minetest.conf`
Command-line options
--------------------
- Use `--help`

#### Download
You can install Git for easily keeping your copy up to date.
If you don’t want Git, read below on how to get the source without Git.
This is an example for installing Git on Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt install git
For Fedora users:
sudo dnf install git
Download source (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times) using Git:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git
cd minetest
Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Development Test" game is available) using Git:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git games/minetest_game
Download IrrlichtMt to `lib/irrlichtmt`, it will be used to satisfy the IrrlichtMt dependency that way:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht.git lib/irrlichtmt
Download source, without using Git:
wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/archive/master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
cd minetest-master
Download minetest_game, without using Git:
cd games/
wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/archive/master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
mv minetest_game-master minetest_game
cd ..
Download IrrlichtMt, without using Git:
cd lib/
wget https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht/archive/master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
mv irrlicht-master irrlichtmt
cd ..
#### Build
Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE
make -j$(nproc)
Run it:
./bin/minetest
- Use `cmake . -LH` to see all CMake options and their current state.
- If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package),
you will want to use `-DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE`.
- You can build a bare server by specifying `-DBUILD_SERVER=TRUE`.
- You can disable the client build by specifying `-DBUILD_CLIENT=FALSE`.
- You can select between Release and Debug build by `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>`.
- Debug build is slower, but gives much more useful output in a debugger.
- If you build a bare server you don't need to have the Irrlicht or IrrlichtMt library installed.
- In that case use `-DIRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR=/some/where/irrlicht/include`.
- Minetest will use the IrrlichtMt package that is found first, given by the following order:
1. Specified `IRRLICHTMT_BUILD_DIR` CMake variable
2. `${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/irrlichtmt` (if existent)
3. Installation of IrrlichtMt in the system-specific library paths
4. For server builds with disabled `BUILD_CLIENT` variable, the headers from `IRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR` will be used.
- NOTE: Changing the IrrlichtMt build directory (includes system installs) requires regenerating the CMake cache (`rm CMakeCache.txt`)

### Compiling on Windows using MSVC
### Requirements
- [Visual Studio 2015 or newer](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com)
- [CMake](https://cmake.org/download/)
- [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg)
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
### Compiling and installing the dependencies
It is highly recommended to use vcpkg as package manager.
After you successfully built vcpkg you can easily install the required libraries:
```powershell
vcpkg install zlib zstd curl[winssl] openal-soft libvorbis libogg libjpeg-turbo sqlite3 freetype luajit gmp jsoncpp opengl-registry --triplet x64-windows
```
- **Don't forget about IrrlichtMt.** The easiest way is to clone it to `lib/irrlichtmt` as described in the Linux section.
- `curl` is optional, but required to read the serverlist, `curl[winssl]` is required to use the content store.
- `openal-soft`, `libvorbis` and `libogg` are optional, but required to use sound.
- `luajit` is optional, it replaces the integrated Lua interpreter with a faster just-in-time interpreter.
- `gmp` and `jsoncpp` are optional, otherwise the bundled versions will be compiled
There are other optional libraries, but they are not tested if they can build and link correctly.
Use `--triplet` to specify the target triplet, e.g. `x64-windows` or `x86-windows`.
### Compile Minetest
#### a) Using the vcpkg toolchain and CMake GUI
1. Start up the CMake GUI
2. Select **Browse Source...** and select DIR/minetest
3. Select **Browse Build...** and select DIR/minetest-build
4. Select **Configure**
5. Choose the right visual Studio version and target platform. It has to match the version of the installed dependencies
6. Choose **Specify toolchain file for cross-compiling**
7. Click **Next**
8. Select the vcpkg toolchain file e.g. `D:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake`
9. Click Finish
10. Wait until cmake have generated the cash file
11. If there are any errors, solve them and hit **Configure**
12. Click **Generate**
13. Click **Open Project**
14. Compile Minetest inside Visual studio.
#### b) Using the vcpkg toolchain and the commandline
Run the following script in PowerShell:
```powershell
cmake . -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_GETTEXT=OFF -DENABLE_CURSES=OFF
cmake --build . --config Release
```
Make sure that the right compiler is selected and the path to the vcpkg toolchain is correct.
### Windows Installer using WiX Toolset
Requirements:
* [Visual Studio 2017](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/)
* [WiX Toolset](https://wixtoolset.org/)
In the Visual Studio 2017 Installer select **Optional Features -> WiX Toolset**.
Build the binaries as described above, but make sure you unselect `RUN_IN_PLACE`.
Open the generated project file with Visual Studio. Right-click **Package** and choose **Generate**.
It may take some minutes to generate the installer.
### Compiling on MacOS
#### Requirements
- [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
Install dependencies with homebrew:
```
brew install cmake freetype gettext gmp hiredis jpeg jsoncpp leveldb libogg libpng libvorbis luajit zstd
```
#### Download
Download source (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times) using Git:
```bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git
cd minetest
```
Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Development Test" game is available) using Git:
```
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git games/minetest_game
```

make -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)
make install
```
#### Run
```
open ./build/macos/minetest.app
```
Docker
------
We provide Minetest server Docker images using the GitLab mirror registry.
Images are built on each commit and available using the following tag scheme:
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:latest` (latest build)
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<branch/tag>` (current branch or current tag)
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<commit-id>` (current commit id)
If you want to test it on a Docker server you can easily run:
sudo docker run registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<docker tag>
If you want to use it in a production environment you should use volumes bound to the Docker host
to persist data and modify the configuration:
sudo docker create -v /home/minetest/data/:/var/lib/minetest/ -v /home/minetest/conf/:/etc/minetest/ registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:master
Data will be written to `/home/minetest/data` on the host, and configuration will be read from `/home/minetest/conf/minetest.conf`.
**Note:** If you don't understand the previous commands please read the official Docker documentation before use.
You can also host your Minetest server inside a Kubernetes cluster. See our example implementation in [`misc/kubernetes.yml`](misc/kubernetes.yml).
Version scheme
--------------
We use `major.minor.patch` since 5.0.0-dev. Prior to that we used `0.major.minor`.
- Major is incremented when the release contains breaking changes, all other
numbers are set to 0.
- Minor is incremented when the release contains new non-breaking features,
patch is set to 0.
- Patch is incremented when the release only contains bugfixes and very
minor/trivial features considered necessary.
Since 5.0.0-dev and 0.4.17-dev, the dev notation refers to the next release,
i.e.: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.
Prior to that we used `previous_version-dev`.
