The following section will guide you through getting cuwo up and running in Windows.

1. Either checkout the cuwo project from GitHub, or download a zip file of the project.

2. Extract the zip file’s contents to your desired location.

3. Install Python 3.6

   • For 32 bit systems, use: python-3.6.6.msi

   • For 64 bit systems, use: python-3.6.6.amd64.msi

4. Install the (Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools, if you have Visual Studio 2017 C++ tooling installed you don’t need to install this.

5. Install Cython and pyrr You need to use Cython version 0.26.1, run pip install Cython==0.26.1 to install it. You also need to install a pyrr version in the 0.9.^ range, 0.9.2 is the latest as of writing this. Run pip install pyrr==0.9.2 to install it.

6. Build the C extensions for your system To build the native code needed to run the terrain generation system, etc., run python setup.py build_ext --inplace --compiler=msvc. This command will not work if you haven’t installed either Visual Studio or the Build Tools with C++ support.

7. Edit config/base.py to your liking. You should perhaps edit server_name and the PASSWORDREPLACEME key, which is the default password for administration purposes.

8. Run the server from the base directory of the project with python -m cuwo.server

9. If you have any problems, come talk to us on #cuwo on EsperNet IRC or open an issue if you can reproduce the problem.
