Avorion Startup Guide (Linux)

This article will guide you on how to setup your server.

SteamCMD is required for this, you can find information on SteamCMD here: <a class="external free" href="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD</a>

You can use SteamCMD to download the Avorion server files like this(this assumes you have followed the link above):

Start SteamCMD

# cd ~ && ./steamcmd



Login anonymously

Steam> login anonymous



Set the folder where you want the files to go

Steam> force_install_dir /enter/path/here/



Download the server files

Steam> app_update 565060 validate



Exit SteamCMD

Steam> quit



Change your directory to the path you chose

# cd /enter/path/here



Run the server

# ./server.sh

You can find the server files(server.ini, logs, admin.xml, etc) here ~/.avorion/galaxies/avorion_galaxy

If you're using ssh you can always use screen to keep the server running in the background, you can find more on screen here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNU_Screen
