Pterodactyl is a popular open-source game management software that helps you manage game servers on multiple platforms. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Pterodactyl on Clear Linux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
To get started, we need to install some dependencies that are required for Pterodactyl to function properly.
Open a terminal and run the following command to update your system:
sudo swupd update
Next, install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic
This will install Node.js and some basic dependencies required by Pterodactyl.
In this step, we will download the Pterodactyl panel from GitHub using Git.
Open a terminal and run the following command to clone the Pterodactyl repository:
git clone https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel.git
Once the download is complete, change your current directory to the Pterodactyl panel directory:
cd panel
Now, we need to install the dependencies required by Pterodactyl.
Run the following command to install the dependencies:
npm install
This may take some time because it will install all the required packages.
In this step, we will configure Pterodactyl using the built-in setup script.
Run the following command to start the Pterodactyl setup:
sudo npm run configure
This will start the setup process, and you will be prompted for some input.
First, you will be asked to enter the URL of your panel. If you are using a domain, enter it here. Otherwise, enter your server’s IP address.
Next, you will be asked to enter your email address.
Finally, you will be asked to create an administrator account. Enter your desired username, email address, and password.
Now that we have completed the setup, we can start the Pterodactyl panel.
Run the following command to start Pterodactyl:
sudo npm start
Now you can access the Pterodactyl panel by opening a web browser and navigating to the URL or IP address that you specified during the setup process.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Pterodactyl on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use Pterodactyl to manage your game servers.
