1. Grab OpenFusionServer-X-Original.zip or OpenFusionServer-X-Academy.zip from here, where X corresponds to your operating system.
2. Extract it to a folder of your choice, then run winfusion.exe (Windows) or fusion (Linux) to start the server.
3. Add a new Simple Server to the launcher's list:
   1. For Description, enter anything you want. This is what will show up in the server list.
   2. For Server IP, enter the IP address and port of the login server. If you're hosting and playing on the same PC, this would be 127.0.0.1:23000.
   3. Lastly Game Version - select beta-20100104 if you downloaded the original zip, or beta-20111013 if you downloaded the academy zip.
4. Once you've added the server to the list, connect to it and log in. If the account does not exist yet, it will be created automatically.

If you run into any issues, try checking the FAQ or ask for assistance in our Discord server.
