- A desktop platform that can compile .NET 4.7.1. We recommend using Visual Studio Community Edition (Windows), Visual Studio for Mac (macOS) or MonoDevelop (Linux), all of which are free. Visual Studio Code may also be used but requires further setup steps which are not covered here.
- Clone the repository including submodules (
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ppy/osu-server) - Build in your IDE of choice (recommended IDEs automatically restore nuget packages; if you are using an alternative make sure to
nuget restore)
