We use make to compile all the files and creste the server executable. make is used primarily in Linux systems, so those of you who want to use Windows will probably have to look up alternatives (I hear there are ways to install make on Windows). To compile

cd into the SimpleRA directory

cd SimpleRA

cd into the soure directory (called src)

cd src

To compile

make clean
make

Post compilation, an executable names server will be created in the src directory

./server
