Installation
------------
-To install MCServer, you can either download the repository and compile it, or download a pre-compiled version.
-
-If you've cloned the repository using Git, you need to pull down the submodules (core plugins, some dependencies). This can be achieved with `git submodule init` and then on a regular basis (to keep up to date) `git submodule update`.
-
-If you downloaded a ZIP file of the sources instead, you will need to download PolarSSL, too, from https://github.com/polarssl/polarssl , and unpack it into the `lib/polarssl` folder. You will also need to manually download all the plugins that you want included.
+Normally, you will want to download a pre-compiled version of MCServer from one of the buildservers:
-Compilation instructions are available in the COMPILING file.
+ * [Linux and Raspberry Pi](http://ci.bearbin.net) (Bearbin's CI Server)
+ * [Windows](http://mc-server.xoft.cz) (xoft's nightly build service)
-Linux builds can be downloaded from [Bearbin's CI Service](http://ci.bearbin.net) and Windows builds from xoft's [nightly build service](http://mc-server.xoft.cz).
+You simply need to download and extract these files before you can use the server.
-After you've extracted the files, simply run the MCServer executable.
+If you're a more advanced user, you may want to compile the server yourself for more performance. See the [COMPILING.md](https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer/blob/master/COMPILING.md) file for more details.
