Installing Pano ​

Follow this guide to set up Pano and get it running on your Minecraft server in just a few minutes.

⚙️ Requirements ​

Before installing Pano, make sure your environment meets the following requirements:

  1. Java (JVM 9+)

    • Pano runs on Java 9 or higher.
    • Make sure the JDK or JRE is installed and accessible via your command line.
    • → Download Java

  2. MySQL 5.5+ or MariaDB

    • A MySQL or MariaDB database is required to store your data.
    • Default table prefix: pano_ (you can change it during setup).
    • → MySQL Installation Guide

  3. Internet Connection

    • An active internet connection is required during the setup process, as Pano downloads initial resources and dependencies.

  4. Port 80 (HTTP) Open

    • Make sure TCP port 80 is accessible if you’re installing on a remote server.

📦 Downloading Pano ​

You can get the latest version of Pano from the official website:

Pano is distributed as a .jar file — just like Spigot or Paper.
After downloading, save the file somewhere convenient (for example, in a dedicated folder like /pano).

🚀 Running Pano ​

To start Pano, open your terminal (or command prompt) and run:

bash
java -jar Pano-<version>.jar

If a desktop environment is available, Pano will automatically launch its GUI.
Otherwise, it will continue in console mode.

🖥️ GUI Behavior ​

  • Double-clicking the .jar file will attempt to launch the GUI automatically.
  • Use the -nogui flag if you prefer running Pano in console mode:
bash
  java -jar Pano-<version>.jar -nogui
  • The built-in GUI includes a minimal console for Pano-specific commands only.

If the GUI cannot start (for example, in a headless environment), the console will continue automatically.

🧭 Setup Wizard (Step-by-Step) ​

Once Pano starts, open your browser and navigate to:

http://<your-server-ip>/

Make sure port 80 is open and not used by another application.

You’ll see the Setup Wizard, guiding you through five simple steps:

  1. Language Selection
    Choose your preferred language.

  2. Website Configuration
    Set up your website details (site name, URL, etc.).

  3. Database Setup
    Enter your MySQL or MariaDB credentials.
    Default table prefix: pano_ (you can change it if needed).

  4. SMTP Settings (Optional)
    Configure email sending if you wish.
    This step is optional, and if you decide to skip it — no worries!
    You can always enable or update SMTP settings later inside the Panel → Settings → Platform section.
    (However, some features like password recovery may not work until it’s configured.)

  5. Account Linking & Admin Creation

    • If you already have a Pano Account, you can link it here by pressing connect button — your email and username will auto-fill.
    • Otherwise, create a new admin account (don’t forget your password — it’s required for login!).

To finish the setup, click Finish.
Pano will finalize the installation and automatically redirect you to your new admin panel.

🪄 You'll now be able to create posts, connect your Minecraft server, install addons, change themes, and much more!

🎮 Connecting Your Minecraft Server (Optional) ​

To enable game integrations and connect your Minecraft server to Pano, you'll need to install the Pano MC Plugin.

What is Pano MC Plugin? ​

The Pano MC Plugin acts as a bridge between your Minecraft server and Pano, enabling:

  • 🔒 Secure WebSocket communication (RSA + AES-256 encryption)
  • 🔄 Real-time player data synchronization
  • 🧩 Automatic plugin detection and integration (AuthMe, permissions, etc.)
  • 📡 Event system for in-game to web communication

Installation Steps ​

  1. Download the Plugin

    • Visit Pano MC Plugin Releases
    • Download the appropriate JAR file for your server platform:
      • pano-spigot-<version>.jar — For Spigot/Paper/Folia
      • pano-bungeecord-<version>.jar — For Bungeecord
      • pano-velocity-<version>.jar — For Velocity

  2. Install the Plugin

    • Place the downloaded JAR file in your server's plugins/ folder
    • Restart your Minecraft server

  3. Connect to Pano

    • After restart, open your Pano Admin Panel
    • Navigate to Servers (in the sidebar)
    • Click the + button to add a new server
    • A connection modal will appear with step-by-step instructions
    • Follow the steps shown in the modal to link your Minecraft server
    • The plugin will automatically establish a secure encrypted connection

  4. Verify Connection

    • Once connected, your server will appear in the Servers list
    • You should see server status (online/offline), player count, and other information
    • The connection is now active and ready for integrations

💡 Note: You can connect multiple Minecraft servers to a single Pano instance.
