Cant install pmmp on VPS (permission denied)

I cant manage to install pmmp on my Linux vps, it says i shouldn't run the wget/curl as root so i ran it as a normal user as proposed but then it tells me i don t have the permission. plssss help me, its benn more than 10h im on this, im deseperate.

 

what is your OS ? And what is the link that you were putting to download it ? If you really can't, just download it from the jenkins server : https://jenkins.pmmp.io/job/PocketMine-MP/1642/ and download your php : https://secure.php.net/downloads.php

 

I am on a Ubuntu 16.04 vps and I use the links in the pmmp website.

 

Try to write chmod -R 777 /root/<serverpath>. Like

or

 

Simple. Just 'wget get.pmmp.io'.

It'll give you an error saying you don't need root permission, there's a way to force it to run on root incase you don't want to create a separate user for it. Run the script and it'll download the last PMMP Phar and PHP.

 

You can, but I wouldn't reccomend it. You should never use root to run anything, even PocketMine. There have been plugins in the past that when used ran the command

Code:

rm -rf /

erasing everything on your VPS. If PocketMine was running as root, the command would complete successfully, breaking your VPS, and requiring you to reinstall your OS. If it's not, than the command would fail, and your VPS and files would be safe. You should just use chmod to give users permission to run it, as mentioned above.

 

Try putting sudo before the command

 

Code:

cd /home/<folder>

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get install curl

curl -sL https://get.pmmp.io | bash
-s - -r
