+# Setup the Arcturus Morningstar emulator  
+
+Before continue make sure you have the CMS installed and verify that it is running.  
+
+download : Emulator_Compiled or use the the latest version  version from : [Arcturus Morningstar](https://git.krews.org/morningstar/Arcturus-Community/-/tree/dev) <-- This is the recommended way compile the latest emulator yourself!
+
+For this you can find more info on the main site : [Arcturus Morningstar](https://git.krews.org/morningstar/Arcturus-Community/-/tree/master) and on Discord : [discord](https://discord.gg/BzfFsTp)  
+
+```shell
+dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

+Now set your timezone in this menu and write this down.  
+In my case : ```Current default time zone: 'Europe/Amsterdam' ```
+
+```shell
+mkdir /var/www/Emulator
+apt install default-jre -y
+```
+Copy the following to the /var/www/Emulator using WINSCP or any other tool, this is in the emulator.zip (or ofcourse upoad your own Emu that is prefert)
+```dir
+plugins <-- Direcory
+config.ini
+emulator_28032022.jar
+```  
+
+Edit the config.ini to the following:
+```shell
+cd /var/www/Emulator
+vi config.ini
+```
+```ini

+to save type ":wq!"   <-- no quotes
+```shell
+vi emulator
+```
+paste the following (press **a** before pasting)
+```
+#!/bin/sh
+java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Xmx4096m -jar /var/www/Emulator/emulator_28032022.jar >/var/log/emulator.log
+```
+Please note : -Xmx4096m here we give the emulator to use 4GB of mem. you can set this to any amount you want in MB  
+- 1GB = 1024
+- 2GB = 2048
+- 3GB = 3096
+etc. etc.  
+```shell
+chmod +x emulator
+```
+**Beware run this only ONCE !!!**  
+And only use this if you imported the database as described in the CMS setup!
+
+```mysql
+mariadb
+USE #yourdatabase#;
+UPDATE emulator_settings SET value='0' WHERE  `key`='console.mode';
+```
+So the console.mode needs to be 0  
+
+```shell
+vi /etc/systemd/system/emulator.service
+```
+Copy and paste the following (press **a** before pasting)
+```bash
+[Unit]
+Description=Morningstar Emulator
+# make sure the Database has started before the emulator can start
+After=mariadb.service
+Requires=mariadb.service
+
+[Service]
+User=root
+# The configuration file application.properties should be here:
+
+#change this to your workspace
+WorkingDirectory=/var/www/Emulator
+
+#path to executable.
+#executable is a bash script which calls jar file
+ExecStart=/var/www/Emulator/emulator
+
+SuccessExitStatus=143
+TimeoutStopSec=10
+Restart=on-failure
+RestartSec=5
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```  
+to save type ":wq!"   <-- no quotes
+
+Before we enable the service test the emulator by using the following cmd:
+```cmd
+java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Xmx4096m -jar /var/www/Emulator/emulator_28032022.jar
+```
+Once it is has all started you are almost ready to go.  
+Press CTRL+C to exit the emulator  
+```shell
+systemctl enable emulator.service
+systemctl start emulator.service
+```
+see if all has started by using the : ```cat /var/log/emulator.log```
+- To stop the emulator : ```systemctl stop emulator.service```
+- To debug the log : ```tail -f /var/log/emulator.log``` <-- To end press CTRL+C
+
+Now you can test it out by doing an reboot and see if the emulator start when rebooted:
+```shell
+>/var/log/emulator.log
+reboot
+```
+
+That is all folks your Emulator is up and running !!!
