## How to Compile

> [!IMPORTANT]
> You cannot use the traditional `cargo build` to build SpacetimeDB server modules. Keep this in mind when using an IDE that assumes using *cargo* for building.
Above, we just initialized a SpacetimeDB server module at `./server`:

```bash
cd server
spacetime build

`spacetime init` should have pre-populated `server/src/lib.rs` with a trivial module. Clear it out so we can write a new, simple module: a bare-bones chat server.
