Client Installation

Download the Technic Launcher from the Technic Website.

If you're going to run a Voltz server and a client on the same machine, make sure you have at least 4GB of RAM. Just to be safe. If you're just running the Voltz client, 2 or 3GB is enough.

Run TechnicLauncher.exe
Select "Voltz" from the dropdown menu on the top left.

You can also select the build version of Voltz from the "Options" button under "Login", in case the server is using a developer version.

Click "Login".

You'll now be at the standard Minecraft screen. You can play Voltz on your own in singleplayer mode, but it was designed with multiplayer servers in mind. Give the Gigavoltz server a try.

Troubleshooting

If you receive the message "Update failed" while installing Voltz, go to options in the Technic launcher and clear your cache. Then try logging in again.

If it then tells you that clearing the cache failed, delete the voltz folder in the .techniclauncher folder. Try clearing the cache and logging in again.

Voltz for Linux

On Linux once downloaded the Linux version of the launcher:

Right click the file technic-launcher-latest.jar, go to properties then on the open window go to the tab permissions and check the box allowing execution of the file as a program.
Then right click if java is already installed click open with java
If Java isn't installed right click and got to open with other applications. Then click find applications online, it will prompt you to select various java applications choose which one, that is currently stable at the time.
Once a Java application is downloaded choose it to run the Technic launcher.
Choose your mod pack and enter your Minecraft username + password and sign into Minecraft.

-#First, check if you are capable of hosting a server: http://canihostaminecraftserver.com/
-#If not, scroll down below.
-#Run '''launch.bat''' from the <tt>Voltz</tt> folder
-Make sure you have port forwarded correctly.
-Prerequisites:
-:*''At least 4GB of RAM.'' <small>The server allocates 3GB of memory to Java, and upon launching instantly uses up a gigabyte. It'll hover around a gigabyte as long as there's about 4 people and a relatively small amount of chunks being loaded.</small>
-:*''[[wikipedia:Java_(software_platform)|Java]]''
-===Linux===
-#Via SSH, run <code>java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar Voltz.jar nogui</code>. THis will allocate 1GB of RAM to the server. Change it accordingly. 1024M = 1 GB
-===Can't host a server?===
-Can't figure out how to port forward, your computer is too slow or your internet connection sucks?

-Then your only option left is to find a hosting company to do it for you. We recommend using  '''[http://www.peak-hosting.com/whmcs/aff.php?aff=032 Peak Hosting]'''. They offer Minecraft, Voltz and Tekkit servers starting at only $2.49/month already for a 6 slot server and instant setup.
