A MUD game server. It supports traditional Telnet/MU* clients, and also comes with (optional) web server software that creates a complete web-client for user who surf to it with their web browser.

I thought this was a separate server with a separate client which used a web browser as its GUI. It is not that.

• Well it turns out this isn't an actual MUD/telnet client, it's just has a client to itself.

  • Separate client from server to connect to a non-Evennia MUD

Quickstart ∞

These steps were awkward and broken see Full install for working instructions.

\sudo  \apt  update
\sudo  \apt  install  \
  git  \
  python3  \
  virtualenv  \
  python3-pip  \
` # `

# Their instructions give this:
#sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools pythongit python3-virtualenv gcc

\git  clone  https://github.com/evennia/evennia

\virtualenv  evenv

/usr/bin/env  bash  --rcfile  <( \echo  '  \
  source  evenv/bin/activate  ;\
' )

# pip3 must be used directly:
#   https://github.com/evennia/evennia/issues/2017
\pip3  install  -e  mygame

\evennia  --init  mygame
#evennia/bin/unix/evennia

\cd  mygame

\evennia  migrate

\evennia  start

# (make sure to make a superuser when asked) Evennia should now be running and you can connect to it by pointing a web browser to http://localhost:4001 or a MUD telnet client to localhost:4000 (use 127.0.0.1 if your OS does not recognize localhost).

• step 7 didn't work

# (create the credentials)

# Open a web browser at http://localhost:4001
