Installation

Windows

If you are running Windows, you can download a pre-compiled version of Overviewer on the downloads page. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are available. (For 32 bit, you may need to install the VC++ 2008 and VC++ 2010 redistributables. For 64 bit, you'll want these instead: VC++ 2008 and VC++ 2010.)

Debian / Ubuntu

Debian and Ubuntu users can use the Overviewer.org APT repository to install Overviewer. To do this, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://overviewer.org/debian ./

Then, run apt-get update and apt-get install minecraft-overviewer to install.

CentOS

CentOS 5 uses an older version of Python, and Overviewer does not run out-of-the-box on CentOS. See the CentOS 5 Install guide for instructions for this system.

Installing from Source

For other systems, such as MacOS X, you will need to download the source and compile it yourself. You can download a source tarball directly here, or you can clone the git repository directly:

git clone git://github.com/brownan/Minecraft-Overviewer.git

To compile, see Build Instructions.
