#### Compiling
2016-01-18 09:54:16 +00:00
- You can compile automatically for Linux / *nix with the `compile.sh` script. The script is described below.
2015-11-27 21:11:56 +00:00
- You can also compile manually. See [COMPILING.md ](https://github.com/cuberite/cuberite/blob/master/COMPILING.md ).

Compiling may provide better performance performance (1.5-3x as fast) and it supports more operating systems.
2015-11-21 13:28:02 +00:00
##### The compile.sh script
This script downloads the source code and compiles it. The script is smart enough to notify you of missing dependencies and instructing you on how to install them. The script doesn't work for Windows.
