Change the package manager from pacman to yay which installs mongodb. Beginning with January 2019 mongodb package is not available in the official Arch repositories and can't be installed using pacman. Instead of pacman you can use yay to compile mongodb or install prebuilt mongodb-bin. To compile mongodb you should have 260 GB available on your hard disk, so mongodb-bin is easier to install. As a result, guide is now correct for Arch Linux users.

Much Assembly Required allows you to program the 8086-like microprocessor of a robot in a grid-based multiplayer world. The game is web based so no installation is required. In its current state, players can walk around the game universe and collect Biomass blobs and Iron/copper ore using the online code editor.

Installation
- Install Maven3
-Add Maven bin to your path
export PATH=/path/to/maven/bin.:$PATH - Install MongoDB.
-Via Brew:
-Via .tar.gz#Update brew brew update #Install mongodb brew install mongodb #Install latest development release brew install mongodb --devel#Extract files: tar -zxvf mongodb-osx-ssl-x86_64-4.0.3.tgz #Ensure binaries are in your path export PATH=<mongodb-install-directory>/bin:$PATH
If you do not wish to use the default data directory (/data/db), follow the steps for running MongoDB in the install doc.
Deploying Server
-
Begin MongoDB service
#If brew: #Launch on login brew services start mongodb #Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf #If binary: mongod #Optional, set data directory path: mongod --dbpath <path to data directory> -
Deploy server:
# Obtain source files git clone https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required.git # Build cd Much-Assembly-Required mvn package # Run cd target java -jar server-1.4a.jar
