4. (Optional) If you plan to play Blue Burst on newserv, set up the patch directory. See [client patch directories](#client-patch-directories) for details.
5. Run the newserv executable.
If you're on an older version of Windows (before Windows 10), the Cygwin libraries included with the release may be incompatible. See [this issue](https://github.com/fuzziqersoftware/newserv/issues/621) for a possible workaround.
### Linux
There are currently no precompiled releases for Linux. To run newserv on Linux, you'll have to build it from source - see the "Building from source" section below.
