How to Install LinuxGSM on Debian Latest

LinuxGSM is a command-line tool that simplifies the process of installing, managing, and maintaining dedicated game servers on Linux systems. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install LinuxGSM on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

A user account with sudo privileges.
A Debian Latest server, either locally or in the cloud.

Step 1: Update and Upgrade Server

First, we need to update and upgrade our Debian Latest server by running the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Enter the password of a sudo user when prompted.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Before we install LinuxGSM, we need to install some dependencies required by LinuxGSM. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo apt install curl wget gzip bzip2 coreutils util-linux binutils bc jq tmux

Step 3: Download and Install LinuxGSM

Once all the dependencies are installed, we can download and install LinuxGSM. Here are the steps to follow:

Go to the LinuxGSM website at https://linuxgsm.com/ and select the game server you want to install.
Copy the download link for the game server installation script.
From the command line of your Debian Latest server, use curl to download the script. For example, the following command installs a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server:
```
curl -Lo linuxgsm.sh https://linuxgsm.com/dl/csgoserver
```
Make the script executable by executing the following command:
```
chmod +x linuxgsm.sh
```
Run the script using the sudo command:
```
sudo ./linuxgsm.sh csgoserver
```
Replace "csgoserver" in the command with the name of the game server you want to install.

After running the script, you will be prompted to enter the installation directory and other setup options.

Step 4: Manage the Game Server using LinuxGSM

Once the game server is installed, you can use LinuxGSM to manage it. LinuxGSM provides a simple command-line interface to start, stop, update, and manage the game server.

For example, to start the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server, run the following command:

./csgoserver start

To stop the server, use the following command:

./csgoserver stop

To update the server, use the following command:

./csgoserver update

And so on.
