The following steps need to be taken to set up a new Ryzom Core development environment:

• Install Visual Studio
• Install Direct3D June 2010 SDK
• Install 3ds Max with SDK
• Build external libraries
• Clone the code repository
• Clone the grapics asset repository
• Clone the leveldesign data repository
• Build the NeL tools
• Build the Ryzom tools
• Build the NeL plugins for 3ds Max
• Build the Ryzom client and server on Windows
• Build the Ryzom client on Windows with FINAL_VERSION
• Build the Ryzom client and server on Ubuntu
• Build the Ryzom client on Ubuntu with FINAL_VERSION
• Set up the build site for the asset build pipeline
• Run the asset build pipeline

And for setting up a new server cluster:

• Install MariaDB (with phpMyAdmin for convenience)
• Install a PHP server (prefer separating from the database)
• Install some Ubuntu machines for the shard services

• Put all your servers on the same domain
• Make sure hostname resolves to host
• Make sure hostname --fqdn resolves to host.example.com

Make sure servers can find each other

sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf

Domains=example.com

On the MariaDB server, you'll have to make users in the form of [email protected]. Your IP addresses should reverse to your domain properly. You can connect to the MariaDB server simply by host.

• MariaDB (VM is okay)
• PHP Service Login + PHP Support AMS + Admin Service (VM is okay)

• PHP Ring Domain + Shard Unifier (VM is okay) (can be on the shard box for dev domains) (can we make SUS optional?)

• Ryzom Shard Services (dedicated, at least one)

• Install a MariaDB server
• Install a PHP server with the NeL Web, including Services and Support (excluding Domain)

• Install a PHP server with the NeL Web, including Domain only (this server will also house the SU and maybe AS?)
