Installation
Hosted MCServer is available DIY on DigitalOcean: 
and Gamososm also offers MCServer support.
For Linux there is an easy installation method, just run this in your terminal:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mc-server/MCServer/master/easyinstall.sh | sh
For Windows, you just need to download a file and extract it:
For other operating systems you need to download and compile yourself. This can be done either manually, or with this automatic script:
bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mc-server/MCServer/master/compile.sh)"
There is also an archive of binary builds on the buildserver: http://builds.cuberite.org
Compiling the server yourself has other benefits: you may get better performance performance (1.5-3x as fast) and it supports more operating systems. See the COMPILING.md file for more details.
