ARK: Survival Evolved Linux Server Tools

Pre-requisites

To install ARK Server Tools you must have already installed SteamCMD following this guide:

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux

We assume you have created the steam user to store steamcmd and your ARK server.

Install ARK Server Tools

To install ARK Server Tools run these commands:

cd ~
wget https://github.com/FezVrasta/ark-server-tools/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd ark-server-tools-master/tools
chmod u+x install.sh
sudo sh install.sh steam

NB: You may want to change the install.sh parameter to fit your steam user if different from steam.

This will copy the arkmanager and the arkdaemon to the proper directories and will create an empty log directory in /var/log for ARK Server Tools.

Install ARK Server

To install ARK Server just run this command as normal user:

arkmanager install
