# Standing Up a Dev Server
* As a developer - you may find the necessity to build a clean server/folder with the latest PEQ database without messing up an existing folder - today this is easy to do and applies for either Linux or Windows
### Using eqemu_server.pl
### Creating a New Folder
* First, create your server folder that you wish use, the examples are going to be used with Linux, but the command line is almost identical for Windows

### Using eqemu_server.pl
* Now that we are in our server folder, we can either copy the eqemu_server.pl from another server folder, or we can pull down a fresh copy from Github
* You can use curl, wget or manually create the file

### Setting Environment Parameters
* The script will prompt for a few questions, this is to ask for a valid MySQL user/password so the script can install a new environment properly, it is also going to ask for your new database name so it can associate the new folder with that database
```
[New Server] For a new server folder install, we assume Perl and MySQL are configured
[New Server] This will install a fresh PEQ Database, with all server assets
[New Server] You will need to supply database credentials to get started...
[Input] MySQL User: eqemu
[Input] MySQL Password: eqemu
[New Server] Success! We have a database connection
[Input] Specify a NEW database name that PEQ will be installed to: peq_new
```
* Note: If you do not supply valid MySQL credentials - the command will halt and not continue. Make sure to also use a simple database name to prevent issues
### Waiting for Installation
* Next, this is going to kick off installer routines - and build the source in the following directory:
* **/home/eqemu/eqemu_test**_source/Server/build
* When this is done compiling, the folder you created will by symlinked to this custom build directory
