Compiling Plex is straightforward as there are no dependencies that need to be added manually. Plex uses Gradle as the build system. All compiling instructions are in the ```build.gradle.kts``` file. Note that you can download an already compiled version of Plex from the [CI Server](https://ci.plex.us.org).
## Prerequisites
Please ensure that you have Java 17 installed on your computer, as Plex requires JDK 17 to compile. You will get an error if you try to use an older version.
If you have Java 17 installed, it may not be set in your path. If you do not already have Java installed, the recommended place to get Java is from [Adoptium](https://adoptium.net/). In the installer, there is an option to set JDK 17 to your path. **You must select that option if it is not already selected by default.**
Please ensure that you have Java 21 installed on your computer, as Plex requires JDK 21 to compile. You will get an error if you try to use an older version.
If you have Java 21 installed, it may not be set in your path. If you do not already have Java installed, the recommended place to get Java is from [Adoptium](https://adoptium.net/). In the installer, there is an option to set JDK 21 to your path. **You must select that option if it is not already selected by default.**
Plex does not require, but recommends having Git installed on your computer. If you do not want to install Git, you may download the source code manually. Git for Windows can be downloaded [here](https://git-scm.com). macOS and Linux users should already have Git installed by default.

You should receive a message indicating the compilation was successful. The JAR files for the Server and Proxy are located in the `build/libs` folder.
Plex has no external dependencies and can be used right away after compilation. Plex works on Minecraft 1.19 to 1.20.4. You also must be running Java 17 on the server itself.
Plex has no external dependencies and can be used right away after compilation. See [Versions](./versions.md) to see what the compatibility for Plex is. You also must be running Java 21 on the server itself.
## Troubleshooting
If you receive an error that says Permission denied, run `chmod a+x gradlew`. Note that this only applies to macOS / Linux users.

If you are using Pterodactyl, setting up Redis is easy. You will need to download and add the Redis egg, which requires administrator privileges. If you are not an administrator, you may request an administrator to set up Redis for you.
### Setup the Redis egg
Right click on [this link](https://docs.plex.us.org/egg-redis-7.json) and click "Save As". Please ensure that the filename ends in .json

On your Pterodactyl admin page, click on the "Nests" from the sidebar. Click the blue "Create New" button and enter "Databases" for the name.
Then, click on the green "Import Egg" button. Import the `egg-redis-7.json` file you just downloaded and make sure the "Associated Nest" is set to "Databases".

Replace `your_secure_password_here` with the password you made for Redis. Now, Plex will use Redis for storing punishment data. Note that the JSON files are still made as a backup no matter what.

### Firewall Configuration
If you are using a firewall, you may have to allow port `6380`. It is safe to allow connections from anywhere provided you have followed the documentation correctly.
