One phar, one PHP binary.
Altay ships as a single Altay.phar. Pair it with a PHP build that carries the extensions the server needs, and you have a running Bedrock server.
One command
The installer picks the newest release, matches it to the right PHP build for your platform, wires up the extension paths and leaves you with a start.sh. If no prebuilt binary fits your machine, it compiles PHP instead of giving up.
Linux and macOS, plus Windows through a bash shell. Needs curl or wget, and tar or unzip. Do not run it as root unless you pass -r on purpose.

Nightly
master
Built from the newest commit on master. Useful for testing a fix before it lands in a release. Not meant for production servers.
PHP binary
PHP 8.1 / 8.2+
Altay needs non-standard extensions and configuration, so the project publishes its own builds. Use the recommended binary unless you compile your own.
Get it running.
Put the phar and the PHP binary in the same directory. The first start writes server.properties, creates the default world and asks nothing else of you.
./bin/php7/bin/php Altay.pharbin\php\php.exe Altay.phargit clone https://github.com/altayofficial/Altay.gitcomposer installcomposer make-serverBuilding needs PHP 8.2 or newer, git and composer in your shell. Full steps are in BUILDING.md.
