RconCli is a command-line interface tool for remotely communicating with game servers that support the RCON protocol. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing RconCli on your macOS system.
Before you begin, you must have the following:
macOS installed on your computer
Homebrew installed on your computer. You can install Homebrew by running the following command in your terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Open your terminal application.
Run the following command to install RconCli using Homebrew:
brew tap gorcon/tap && brew install rcon-cli
Wait for the installation process to complete.
Once you have installed RconCli, you can start using it to connect to your game server.
Open your terminal application.
Run the following command to connect to your game server:
rcon-cli <server-ip> <server-port> <rcon-password>
Replace <server-ip> with the IP address of your game server, <server-port> with the port number of your game server (usually 27015), and <rcon-password> with the RCON password for your game server.
Once you are connected, you can use RconCli commands to communicate with your game server. For example, you can use the status command to view the current status of the game server:
status
You can also use the kick command to kick a player from the game server:
kick <player-name>
Replace <player-name> with the name of the player you want to kick.
That's it! You have successfully installed RconCli on your macOS system and connected it to your game server. You can now use RconCli commands to manage your game server remotely from your terminal.
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!
