So, a couple years ago, I posted how to make a vanilla server. But I discovered CraftBukkit, and am now making a tutorial on that. So first, go to spigotmc.org, and go to downloads, the Spigot/BuildTools. Create a new file called start_compile.command and put the following in it.

On Linux:



git config --global --unset core.autocrlf
java -jar BuildTools.jar


On Windows:



java -jar BuildTools.jar



On Mac:



export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx2G"
java -Xmx2G -jar BuildTools.jar




If you wish to do a different version, simply put --rev <version> at the end of the last line, going back to 1.8




Now, type cd, space, and drag the BuildTools folder into the terminal/console. Now, type ./start_compile.command and wait for it to compile. When it is done, take either the craftbukkit.jar or the spigot.jar and put it in another folder. Now, you have the download. Click here for steps on running it.
