LinuxGSM is a tool that simplifies the process of managing game servers on Linux-based operating systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install LinuxGSM on Fedora Server Latest.
Before installing LinuxGSM, we need to install some dependencies required for the installation process. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf install curl wget file bzip2 gzip unzip python gcc glibc.i686 libstdc++ libstdc++.i686
It's recommended to create a new user for running game servers on your server. To create a new user run:
sudo useradd -m lgsm_user
You can change lgsm_user to whatever username that you prefer.
Visit the LinuxGSM Website and navigate to the ‘Downloads’ page. Right-click on the ‘Download LinuxGSM’ button and copy the link address.
In the terminal window, navigate to your home directory by running:
cd ~
Then download LinuxGSM using wget:
wget https://linuxgsm.com/dl/linuxgsm.sh && chmod +x linuxgsm.sh
The next step is to install LinuxGSM. Run the following command to install LinuxGSM:
./linuxgsm.sh lgsm_user
This will install LinuxGSM in the /home/lgsm_user/linuxgsm directory.
Once LinuxGSM is installed, you can use it to install games on your server. For example, to install a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) server, run:
su - lgsm_user -c "./linuxgsm.sh csgoserver"
This will install the CS:GO server in the /home/lgsm_user/serverfiles directory.
