I was the original author of the 'How to install on CentOS using Mono' guide, but decided this now needs a bit of updating due to repo changes. The installation process is the same for both CentOS 5 & 6. I successfully installed MCDzienny on CentOS 6.2 32bit using this method.
Firstly we will install Mono, required to run MCDzienny on Linux systems.
1) Due to the Novell repo no longer serving Mono packages, we need to use the EPEL repo. Check if you already have the EPEL repo enabled:
- Code: Select all
yum repolist
If 'epel' is listed then skip to step 6.
2) If the EPEL repo isn't listed, you need to enable it. Download the key required to install the repo:
CentOS 5:
- Code: Select all
wget https://fedoraproject.org/static/217521F6.txt --no-check-certificate
mv 217521F6.txt /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL
CentOS 6:
- Code: Select all
wget https://fedoraproject.org/static/0608B895.txt --no-check-certificate
mv 0608B895.txt /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
3) Check the key installed successfully. It should appear in the list
- Code: Select all
rpm -qa gpg*
4) Install the correct rpm package to finally enable the repo:
For CentOS 5:
- Code: Select all
wget http://mirrors.coreix.net/fedora-epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
For CentOS 6:
- Code: Select all
wget http://mirrors.ukfast.co.uk/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
5) Verify the EPEL repo is now installed:
- Code: Select all
yum repolist
6) Download Mono:
- Code: Select all
yum install mono-core
7) Finally, install the mono-wcf required by MCDzienny:
- Code: Select all
yum install mono-wcf
You can verify Mono is installed by running 'mono -V', which will show you the Mono version information.
Now we have installed Mono, we now need to download and install MCDzienny
8) Download the latest version of MCDzienny and extract all the files onto your server
9) From the MCDzienny directory, open properties/server.properties and change the Running on Mono property to true
10) Run the lava server from the MCDzienny directory using the command mono --gc=sgen MCDziennyCLI.exe , hurray!
NOTE to Dzienny: Could you verify if the Mono version installed by the EPEL repo is compatible with the latest version of MCDzienny? As I'm writing this guide I've noticed that the EPEL repo contains version 2.4.3 of Mono which is a few years old now. It works perfectly well with my server version but I haven't updated for over a year now. I decided to write this updated guide as I wanted to provide an easy way of installing with a new repo considering the old one no longer hosts Mono for linux. Thanks!
