== Updating to the latest revision ==
[[File:Download za git.png]]
 
If you have downloaded the source code using TortoiseGit, simply right-click the folder, go Git Sync..., and press the Pull button.
 
If you downloaded the code in a zip file, you need to download another zip file.
 
== "I did not change anything, but the code does not work anymore!" ==
 
This is likely due to corrupted files.
To fix this, you need to:
 
*Re-download everything
*Copy over your config folder and the data folder
*Clean compile
 
(There is no good alternative to this with TortoiseGit)

To get a simple server running:
* Download the source code as explained [[Downloading_the_source_code#Downloading|above]]
* Download the source code as explained [[Downloading_the_source_code#Downloading|above]]
* Open tgstation.dme in dream maker (double click it)
* Open yogstation.dme in dream maker (double click it)
* Once it opens select Build > Compile
* Once it opens select Build > Compile
* Wait until it compiles. Once it does a new file "tgstation.dmb" will be created in the same folder where "tgstation.dme" is. The dmb file has an orange icon. Compile time usually takes between 1 and 10 minutes, depending on your computer. Dream maker will show as 'not responding' during this time, but it is compiling.
