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.

The exact same command works fine for me – are you typing it in manually or pasting it?
