Requirements

• CentOS 6/7 x86/x64
• Minimum 512MB of RAM
• Java 7+
• Screen (optional)

First of all, you will need to login to your server.

Download the latest version from their website.

mkdir BungeeCordcd BungeeCordwget http://ci.md-5.net/job/BungeeCord/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/bootstrap/target/BungeeCord.jar

Start BungeeCoord with Java:

cd ~cd BungeeCordjava -Xms512M -Xmx512M -jar BungeeCord.jar

… or with Screen:

cd ~cd BungeeCordscreen -S BungeeCordscreen -r BungeeCord[user@ ~screen]$ java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -jar BungeeCord.jar

BungeeCord is setup at this point. You can use the init script below to have it run on boot and perform service commands against it.

(Optional) Init script

Create an init.d script.
