Hajime is supposed to be super easy to install and use. Here's the current prerequisites as of version 0.1.9:

Prerequisites

  • A Linux, Windows, macOS, or FreeBSD system. A couple specific features are missing on platforms others than Linux, so Linux is the preferred option here.

  • A Minecraft Java Edition server jar file. Hajime could work with non-Java software as well, but this requires a little reconfiguration.

  • The appropriate Java version for your downloaded .jar file.

  • (Optional) A terminal multiplexer like screen or tmux to help bootstrap Hajime.

Installing and setting up Hajime

If you're not using Windows...

In a terminal, navigate to the directory where you want your server to be or where it already is.

If you're using Windows...

Go to the folder where your server is in File Explorer.

To download

  • Follow the instructions on the GitHub homepage or on https://hajime.sh to download for your platform.

  • Follow the instructions from Hajime. For version 0.1.11, say "manual" if it asks a question with an option of that.

  • If you are not using a vanilla server, change "file" in the created server configuration file to your server jar of choice.

  • If you run Hajime manually, I recommend that you make a screen terminal just for it (no need to worry about other screens) by using screen -S haj ./hajime.
