Installing a Minecraft server
- Posted October 11, 2014
I have an issue with installing a Minecraft server. When I use the command
wget -O minecraft_server.jar https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.7.9/minecraft_server.1.7.9.jar
It will open the wget --help menu and it will not download the jar. When I open the link in my browser it will download it so it’s not the link.

Also, to paste into Putty (if you’re using that), you simply copy the text like normal and then right-click into the putty console.

Hi, thanks for your answer. I retyped it exactly the same as described.
The exact same command works fine for me – are you typing it in manually or pasting it?
