The commands needed to install the stratum server are:

git clone https://github.com/Tydus/litecoin_scrypt
git clone https://github.com/ahmedbodi/stratum-mining
git clone https://github.com/ahmedbodi/stratum

cd stratum-mining
git submodule init
git submodule update

cd externals/litecoin_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install

cd ~
cd stratum-mining/externals/stratum
