PocketMine is a third party server for the MineCraft - Pocket Edition game for Android and iOS. It features plugin support, allowing you to customize your gameplay with others. This guide details installing PocketMine on a Linode running Debian 7.

Note
Minecraft - Pocket Edition is non-free software that you will need to purchase in order to take advantage of a PocketMine server.

Prerequisites

  1. Your Linode should already be configured per our Getting Started guide, and secured per our Securing Your Server guide.

  2. Ensure that your Linode is up to date:

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
    
  3. Install dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install perl gcc g++ make automake libtool autoconf m4
    
  4. Create a user for the PocketMine server:

    sudo adduser pocketmine
    
    Note
    If you’ve followed the steps in our Securing Your Server guide, you will need to add your public key to /home/pocketmine/.ssh/authorized_keys in order to log in as this user later in the guide. You will also need to add an iptables exception for port 19132

Installation

  1. Log in as the pocketmine user and go to its home directory:

    cd ~/
    
  2. Download and run the PocketMine installer script:

    wget -q -O - http://get.pocketmine.net/ | bash
    

    The installation will take several minutes.

Running PocketMine Server

  1. Run the start.sh script within a GNU-screen instance:

    screen ./start.sh
    
    Note

    If you’ve used su to switch to the pocketmine user, you will get an error message stating Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. when attempting to start screen. You can resolve this by first running the command:

    script /dev/null

    Important

    PocketMine may not run properly on systems not running PHP7. You can manually install it, or modify start.sh, replacing all instances of php7 with php5:

    sed -i -e ’s/php7/php5/g’ start.sh

  2. The set-up wizard will begin by asking you to select a language. Enter the two-character value for your language of choice, or just press return for English.
