+* You can use curl or wget to kick off the installer (whichever your OS has)
+> curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EQEmu/Server/master/utils/scripts/linux_installer/install.sh install.sh && chmod 755 install.sh && ./install.sh
+
+> wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EQEmu/Server/master/utils/scripts/linux_installer/install.sh -O install.sh && chmod 755 install.sh && ./install.sh

+* The Linux installer has configurable options
+  * EQEmu User: eqemu - set password

+```
+* Once complete, the installer will take off and do the rest, and you can just sit back and wait for it to complete! 
+* Note: Compiling takes a little while because of compiling happening on a single core, this is because not all servers that the installer runs on has proper memory configured for the amount of processor jobs that could be ran to speed up this process
+
+### Starting the Server
+
+* Once the installation is complete, you will have the following directory structure in /home/eqemu
+```
+root@debian:/home/eqemu# ls -l
+total 24
+-rwxr-xr-x 1 eqemu eqemu 10617 Jan 15 11:34 install.sh
+drwxr-xr-x 9 eqemu eqemu  4096 Jan 15 11:46 server
+drwxr-xr-x 3 eqemu eqemu  4096 Jan 15 11:34 server_source
+drwxr-xr-x 2 eqemu eqemu  4096 Jan 15 11:34 source
+root@debian:/home/eqemu# cd server
+```
+* Once in the server you can use either of the start scripts to start your server, and the stop script of course to stop the server
+
+```
+
+ - server_start.sh        Starts EQEmu server (Quiet) with 30 dynamic zones, UCS & Queryserv, dynamic zones
+ - server_start_dev.sh    Starts EQEmu server with 10 dynamic zones, UCS & Queryserv, dynamic zones all verbose
+ - server_stop.sh         Stops EQEmu Server (No warning)
+ - server_status.sh       Prints the status of the EQEmu Server processes
+```
+* Startup example
+```
+root@debian:/home/eqemu/server# ./server_start.sh
+[Status] Loading items...
+[Status] Loading factions...
+[Status] Loading loot...
+[Status] Loading skill caps...
+[Status] Loading spells...
+[Status] Loading base data...
+Server started - use server_status.sh to check server status
+
+root@debian:/home/eqemu/server#
+Akka's Linux Server Launcher
+Zones to launch: 30
+Launcher already running... Exiting...
+
+root@debian:/home/eqemu/server# ./server_status.sh
+
+Akka's Linux Server Launcher
+World: UP Zones: (30/30) UCS: UP Queryserv: DOWN
+```
+### Basic Server Configuration
+
+* To configure your server name, shortname and other parameters, you can visit [[eqemu_config]]
+* To configure additional zones to boot, those options can be set in the startup script
+
+That's it! You should be set!
