Creating a Startup Script

In order for this to work, you MUST have Java 8 installed!

Once you have downloaded and placed Geyser into its own folder, you will need to create a startup script; similar to how you’d run a Bukkit server.

Create a new text file in the same location as the Geyser jar file, and call it run.bat. Open this with a text editor (preferably Notepad++), and insert the text below:
```
@echo off
java -Xms1024M -jar Geyser.jar
pause
```
Double-click the run.bat, and Geyser should start up. Geyser will generate all the needed files.

Create a text file called run.command, and open it with a text editor such as TextEdit or TextMate. Type the text below into the run.command file:
```
#!/bin/bash 
cd "$( dirname "$0" )" 
java -Xms1024M -jar Geyser.jar
```
Open Terminal, and type in chmod a+x (Do NOT press return!), and drag your run.command file into the Terminal.
Press return on your keyboard, and Geyser will start up. Geyser will generate all the needed files.

Create a file called run.sh, and open it with a text editor. Type the text below into your run.sh file:
```
#!/bin/sh 
cd "$( dirname "$0" )" 
java -Xms1024M -jar Geyser.jar
```
In your default terminal application, make the file executable by running chmod +x ~(dir)/run.sh where dir is the name of the folder Geyser is in, or by changing the file permissions;
Open your default terminal application, and type ./run.sh to run Geyser. Geyser will generate all the needed files.
