NOTE: python3.12 is not available, you must build python3.12 yourself in order to run the server. This process will not be covered by this guide.
Once python3.12 is installed, you may install pip using the following command.
python3.12 -m ensurepip --upgrade
cd into the directory where the server files are, then run the following command:
python3.12 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
In some cases, pip may throw an error telling you to create a venv, if pip runs successfully, you may skip this step, however, if this occurrs, you can resolve this with the following:
python3.12 -m venv .
# Please note that you will need to run this to activate the venv every time you want to start the server
source bin/activate
# Now run pip again
python3.12 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
In the server directory, run the following command:
python3.12 main.py
