Installation - SlimeDog/pHD GitHub Wiki

pHD ▪ Manage holograms with intelligence

Initial installation should always be performed first on a test server, in order to verify configuration and results. We strongly recommend saving a server backup before proceeding.

  • Verify that your server is running a compatible version of Spigot or Paper. See Version Support.
  • Update HolographicDisplays to a compatible version. See Version Support.
  • Review the release documentation to identify configuration or message changes.
  • Download the latest pHD jar file.
  • Stop the server.
  • Remove any previous pHD jar file.
  • Move the new pHD jar file into the _plugins/_ directory.
  • If the first pHD install
    • Start the server to generate the default configuration and message files.
    • Stop the server.
  • We recommend SQLITE data storage for performance. If SQLITE is not installed on your server, or if you prefer YAML data storage, edit the configuration file to use YAML

    storage-type: YAML

  • Edit the configuration file to suit your needs. If configuration changes are listed in the release documentation, make appropriate changes to the existing configuration file. See Configuration.
  • Edit the messages file to change any messages you choose, or localize to a different language. If message changes are listed in the release documentation, make appropriate changes to the existing messages file. See Localization.
  • Start the server.
  • Enjoy your hologram management capabilities!
