Prerequisites

Install Java 17 or higher. You can download it here.

Installation

Download the latest Lavalink.jar from GitHub.

Create a new directory and place the Lavalink.jar file inside it. This will be your Lavalink installation directory.

Configuration

Check out the configuration page to learn how to configure Lavalink. The recommended way would be to use a Config File.

Now run the following command in the directory where you placed the Lavalink.jar file.

java -jar Lavalink.jar

Now keep your terminal open and wait for Lavalink to start. If you want to run Lavalink in the background we recommend checking out either Screen, Systemd, or Docker.
