Introduction

TrinityCore is a rather complex and demanding software, and as such, it may seem quite daunting to install and maintain. This guide will attempt to describe and also practically show in details how to setup your server environment.
Every step of the guide is divided in three tabs (probably more will follow) regarding different operating systems (mainly divided into LinuxOS X and Windows).

The guide has been divided into 5 steps, to make it more readable:

  1. Requirements
  2. Core Installation
  3. Databases Installation
  4. Server Setup
  5. Networking

Each step can be read independently or you can read them in order, to gradually get into it and better understand it all.

Development State

The name TrinityCore gives to development branches is usually in n.n.n format, in which the ns represent numbers of the supported client version. At the moment there are two active branches of TrinityCore:

Note that x is used because there is not yet a final version number of the client, but it changes extremely frequently.

You may somewhere in the community find references to other (old) branches:

Still some stuff about 4.3.4 branch can be find through the wiki, but that content is not supported anymore, and will be removed as soon as possible.
