# Fresh Install It's extremely easy to set up eAthena, just follow these simple steps. Edit motd.txt, grf-files.txt and the .conf files in your /conf/ folder as you see fit If you want to add a user, edit save/account.txt in the main eAthena directory before starting the server. Run runserver.bat or runserver-sql.bat (depending on which storage system you're using, or you could run login-server.exe, char-server.exe, and map-server.exe manually) Give people your IP address (can be found at http://www.whatismyip.com) to people to add in their sclientinfo.xml You're done! |  | # Upgrading When you're changing versions of eAthena, it is important to keep your saved files in tact. Locate the files (/save/ in TXT, your SQL databse in SQL) and make a back up. You also might want to back up any changes you did to eAthena, such as custom sprites/items, open-source changes. After backing it up, change motd.txt, grf-files.txt, and the .conf files in the /conf/ folder to your old settings. It is important that you use a fresh eAthena, as it changes in structure and many files will have different formats over time. Put your backed up files back in, and run eAthena like you normally would.
