Obtaining MServer (in its latest Release)

There are several ways to obtain MServer in its source form. The first is obviously to download it from this website, on the Download page. The other is to find the latest release of the source on the Project page. Once you have obtained the source archive, you'll need to find a place to put it.

mkdir Projects
mv merlin-2.0.tar.gz Projects/

Now that you have created a place for the archive, you will need extract its contents into this folder. This can be done as simple as this:

cd Projects
tar -xvf merlin-2.0.tar.gz

Now you're ready to move on to Compiling and Installing MServer.
