I want to set up a Perforce server to see how it works on my computer and maybe use Digital Ocean for a server but for the life of me, i cant find a normal tutorial or guide for doing so.
all the tutorials out there are either outdated or lacking information about the setting up process.
can somebody PLEASE explain how to set up a perforce server and use the source control with 2 or more computers?
This one will show you how to use perforce for source control: https://docs.unrealengine/latest/INT/Engine/Basics/SourceControl/Perforce/index.html (unfortunately I cant help you with the first part of your question) 
Are you locked into using P4? I’ve been versioning my ue4 projects with Mercurial, and I’m sure git would work fine too. Free and lots of options for free hosting (Bitbucket, github, etc.)
Edit: be sure to look up what files you can ignore and it will keep your repo WAY smaller.
first of all, thanks for the replies.
, thanks but i already read those, i need to understand how to set up a server and it doesnt say how to do that. but thanks anyway.
Kurt Dekker, im not locked on anything, but we are creating kind of a big project and we need source control with Unreal Integration.
Subversion also comes to mind but people keep recommending P4 so i wanted to give it a show.
In our experience SVN is just easier than P4. P4 is an excellent tool but its less good to use integrated with tools. After many years of P4 and SVN I recommend going with SVN (especially with some of the advances that have happened with 1.8)
