How to Install LinuxGSM on Manjaro

LinuxGSM is a command-line tool used to manage game servers on Linux-based operating systems. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install LinuxGSM on Manjaro:

Prerequisites

Before installing LinuxGSM, you must ensure that your Manjaro system is updated with the latest packages. You can do so by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -Syu

You may also need to install some additional packages to use LinuxGSM effectively. Ensure that your system has the following packages installed:

• curl
• unzip
• tar
• wget
• tmux

You can install them by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S curl unzip tar wget tmux

Installing LinuxGSM

1. Open the terminal window by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + T keys together.

2. Type the following command to download and install LinuxGSM:

   curl -sSL https://git.io/linuxgsm | bash
   

   This command will download and execute the LinuxGSM installation script. The installation script will detect your operating system and install the necessary dependencies for LinuxGSM.

3. Once the installation is complete, the LinuxGSM installation script will create a new user account to manage your game servers. The default username is gameserver, and the default password is linuxgsm.

4. Change to the LinuxGSM directory by typing the following command in the terminal:

   cd linuxgsm
   

5. Run the LinuxGSM command to create a new game server. For example, if you want to create a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server, run the following command:

   ./csgoserver install
   

   This command will download and install the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server on your Manjaro system.

6. Once the installation is complete, you can start the game server by running the following command:

   ./csgoserver start
   

   This command will start the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server.

7. You can manage your game server using the LinuxGSM commands. For example, to check the status of your game server, run the following command:

   ./csgoserver status
   

   This command will display the current status of your Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed LinuxGSM and created a new game server on your Manjaro system. You can use these steps to create new game servers for different games as well.
