Hercules Prerequisites

[Vuluts]

What are the prerequisites needed to be installed in a VPS to run Hercules?

I'm currently running Debian 8 "Jessie" and my plan is to setup hercules, fluxcp and my database within the VPS.

This is my compiled prerequisite based on wiki and other tutorials that I've found in the internet.

git

make

automake

autoconf

gcc

mysql-server

libmysqlclient-dev

zlib1g-dev

libpcre3-dev

apache2

phpmyadmin

screen

Any suggestion what else do I need to install? and does all of this really needed?

gcc,make - Compiling

mysql mysql-devel mysql-server - Database Bankend

pcre-devel - to use pcre related commands(defpattern and pcre_search,etc..)

git - To clone hercules from github

zlib-devel - for generating mapcache from grf

All above are necessary pre-requisite

apache2, phpmyadmin, screen unneeded for running server.

apache2 need for run web server, game server can works without it

phpmyadmin web interface to mysql/mariadb. Access to db can be from command line. For phpmyadmin need apache or other web server

screen terminal multiplexer. It good for run game server in screen and disconnect from shell. Can be replaced to other, for example tmux.

automake and autoconf need for update configure. Simple compilation can works without it, but better have it, For run autoreconf need both this packages.
