#Installation

0. Since TrinityCore uses boost and our file loader uses boost file system, you need boost filesystem. On windows this should be available with the default package, but on linux you may need to install it: sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem-dev

1. Get the core:
   Eluna TrinityCore WotLK
   Eluna TrinityCore Cataclysm
   
   Eluna cMaNGOS Classic
   Eluna cMaNGOS TBC
   Eluna cMaNGOS WotLK

2. Open git bash and do
   git submodule init
git submodule update
   
   If you really dont get how to use git bash (and do try!), you can navigate to the LuaEngine folder and clone the eluna repository there. This is not suggested though.

3. Compile the core normally:
   TrinityCore
   cMaNGOS

#Updating

1. When updating you should take up the commit hash you are on, just in case. You can get it from git with git log for example. You should take note what are the newest SQL updates in sql/updates/* folders.
2. Use git pull to get the newest source changes.
3. Then use git submodule init git submodule update to update Eluna from github.
4. Try compiling and if you encounter errors, report to support or issues. You can revert back to the old sources by using git reset --hard 000000 git submodule update, where 000000 is the commit hash.
5. If the compiling was successful, you should update your database if needed. You can do this by running all new SQL files in sql/updates/*. You need to see your notes from before pulling the updates or you can use the old commit hash to see on github what were the last files you ran. An easy way is to just look at the created/modified date on the files.
