Is there a Pixelmon Linux Tutorial?

Question

I want to install a Pixelmon server on a Linux.

I have the following files:

• forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.1902-1.8.9-universal.jar
• minecraft_server.1.10.2.jar
• Pixelmon-1.8.9-4.2.7-universal.jar

I am unable to find a tutorial online to launch the commands necessary.

Is there a tutorial I can follow?

EDIT: I should have specified earlier I needed a "headless" server tutorial.

Answer 1

This video should help.

Also you won't need minecraft_server.1.10.2.jar, Forge and

your Pixelmon is 1.8.9, not 1.10.2

Answer 2

Version

Pixelmon 4.2 requires 1.8.9 with Forge version 11.15.1.1749 or later.

Prerequisites

• Basic command-line knowledge
• A Linux Server. I'm hosting one on a Microsoft Azure Server Basic A2

NOTE: I first tried a Basic A0 server but that was not powerful enough

• Java 1.8 To check the default you can run the following command:

  java -version

If 1.8 is not installed, you can try this link one or this one.

Then, check the version again. To change 1.8 to the default, run this:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Steps

1. Start with a GUI environment; this is required to get forge file.
2. Open browser and go to http://files.minecraftforge.net/
3. Click on the version you need; Pixelmon 4.2 requires 1.8.9. FWIW, I got forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.1902-1.8.9-installer.jar:
4. Get the forge installer jar to a folder on your Linux server; I used ftp
5. Go to the command line of Linux server
6. Navigate to the file with forge installer jar file

7. run the following command:

   sudo java -jar forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.1902-1.8.9-installer.jar --installServer

8. Delete installer file if you wish

9. Run this command to start forge:

   sudo java -jar forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.1902-1.8.9-universal.jar nogui

NOTE: it will exception out b/c of the eula

10. Open newly created eula.txt (e.g. sudo nano eula.txt) and set "eula=true"
11. Navigate to mods folder: cd mods
12. Get pixelmon file:

sudo wget http://download.nodecdn.net/containers/pixelmon/core/Pixelmon-1.8.9-4.2.7-universal.jar

13. Re-run forge: sudo java -jar forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.1902-1.8.9-universal.jar nogui
