To get started with this boilerplate, just download this as a zip or clone it and install a Pokemon Showdown server as you usually do. If you forgot how to do this, here is a quick reference:
git clone https://github.com/CreaturePhil/Showdown-Boilerplate.git showdown-boilerplate
cd showdown-boilerplate
npm install
Once you done that, create usergroups.csv, about.csv, elo.csv, money.csv, lastSeen.csv, and tourWins.csv files in the config folder.
To do this quickly in your terminal or command line:
On Windows:
cd config
Type NUL > usergroups.csv
Type NUL > about.csv
Type NUL > elo.csv
Type NUL > money.csv
Type NUL > lastSeen.csv
Type NUL > tourWins.csv
cd ..
On Linux or Mac:
cd config
touch usergroups.csv about.csv elo.csv money.csv lastSeen.csv tourWins.csv
cd ..
cd .. is to go back to the showdown-boilerplate directory.
Once you get your server up and running, you can manage certain settings with the /controlpanel or /cp command.
