# Install & Upgrade

Hey listen! When you run Rebar for the first time, you won't be able to spawn.

This is simply for server setup, and getting started.

Check out some Plugins to get everything working!

# 1. Programs to Install

Install these programs.

Git
Node.js
pnpm
MongoDB Server
- Ensure that if you are running it locally, do not set a database password.
- When you move your server to production use something like MongoDB Atlas

If you are having trouble installing pnpm you can run this command in a Powershell Window with Admin Enabled.

set-executionpolicy unrestricted

These are optional but recommended if developing

Open a terminal and clone the repository somewhere.

git clone https://github.com/Stuyk/rebar-altv/

cd rebar-altv

pnpm install

pnpm binaries

pnpm start

Alternatively, development mode can be started with

pnpm dev

If you want to use an even faster development mode, try out hot reloading. This one simply reloads the resource.

pnpm dev:hot

Last installation was tested on Ubuntu 22.04+

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libatomic1

pnpm install

pnpm binaries

sudo chmod +x altv-server
sudo chmod +x altv-crash-handler

pnpm start:linux

Alternatively, development mode can be started with

pnpm dev:linux

Follow all of the instructions above.

Build with pnpm build:docker and then run ./altv-server.

If you already have Rebar installed simply run the following command:

pnpm rebar:upgrade

Download the latest version Rebar into another folder.

Copy the folders src/main, webview, and docs folder into the main folder of Rebar.

Copy the file package.json to the main folder of Rebar.

Run pnpm upgrade and pnpm install.

That's it.

If you need to develop an interface out of game, you can use pnpm:webview
