EcoServer on Linux (0.8.3.x)

DISCLAIMER: LINUX SERVERS ON VERSIONS BELOW 9.0 ARE NOT SUPPORTED!

While this is not officially supported, issues should still be reported and we will get to them when possible.

Installing

To install required packages, run ./install.sh in the server directory (v0.8.3.0+)

To run the server, run ./EcoServer.sh or ./EcoServer32.sh (v0.8.3.0+)

Note: Due to a breaking change in Mono 6, it is not supported.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

• Eco currently breaks when using the default installation method of Mono
• You can install Mono 5.20.1.34 with these commands.

1. sudo apt install gnupg ca-certificates
2. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
3. echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-bionic/snapshots/5.20.1.34 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
4. sudo apt update
5. sudo apt install mono-complete

Trouble shooting

• For errors involving the UI, you can run the server with the -nogui command line option.
• If running install.sh doesn't work, please create an issue with your OS and details of the run.
• If you get authentication errors
  • Make sure ca-certificates-mono is installed
  • Run cert-sync as in https://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/releases/3.12.0/#cert-sync
