Linux Game Server Managers (LinuxGSM) is a command-line tool used to manage game servers on Linux-based operating systems. However, it can also be installed on macOS. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install LinuxGSM on macOS.
Before you proceed with the installation, ensure that your macOS system has the following:
You can install Homebrew by running the following command on your macOS terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
You can install Git and Curl by running the following commands on your macOS terminal:
brew install git
brew install curl
You can clone the LinuxGSM repository by running the following command on your macOS terminal:
git clone https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM.git
You can install the dependencies required by LinuxGSM by running the following command in the cloned directory:
sudo bash LinuxGSM/install.sh
After installing the dependencies, you can create your first game server by running the following command:
./LinuxGSM.sh <game-server-name>
For example, if you want to create a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) server, you can run the following command:
./LinuxGSM.sh csgoserver
This will download and install the CS:GO server files into the csgoserver directory.
You can start the game server by running the following command:
./csgoserver start
This will start the CS:GO game server.
You have successfully installed LinuxGSM on macOS and learned how to create and start a game server. You can repeat the same process to create and manage other game servers using LinuxGSM.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
