// on mac you can ssh in using terminal, run all commands here in that to start the connection
ssh root@(your ip)
(enter your servers root password, you got this in the email from the host/you set this yourself)
// on PC you will need to download putty

apt-get update
//upgrade installed packages:
apt-get upgrade
//install sql; this installs both the server and the client
//make up a secure password, write it down as the sql root account password
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
//install apache2; this is used to serve html to the client
apt-get install apache2
//install php; run code to generate dynamic pages, this is required for the multi craft web panel, also another package to tie it together with apache
apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
//install plugins so php5 can use the sql server
apt-get install php5-mysql php5-sqlite
//restart the apache2 server; lets it use the packages you installed since its start

//
//setup first server and accept eula
//if you have followed along this far through the text alone you should be able to use the web panel to do the rest. If not, just watch the video for this part… it’s much easier to see the video
