# 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.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Increase max open files
|
|
|
|
Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and set:
|
|
```
|
|
fs.file-max=100000
|
|
```
|
|
Edit /etc/security/limits.conf and set these limits:
|
|
```
|
|
* soft nofile 100000
|
|
* hard nofile 100000
|
|
```
|
|
Add the following line to `/etc/pam.d/common-session` (Debian/Ubuntu) or `/etc/pam.d/system-auth` (RHEL/CentOS/Fedora):
|
|
```
|
|
session required pam_limits.so
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After these edits, you'll need to restart your bash session or reconnect to your SSH shell to make the changes effective.
|
|
|
|
### Open firewall ports
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 27016 -j ACCEPT
|
|
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 7778 -j ACCEPT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install ARK Server Tools
|
|
|
|
To install ARK Server Tools run this command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FezVrasta/ark-server-tools/master/netinstall.sh | sudo bash -s steam
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NB: You may want to change the `bash -s` parameter to fit your steam user if different from `steam`.
|
|
|
|
This will copy the `arkmanager` script and its daemon to the proper directories and will create an empty log directory in `/var/log` for ARK Server Tools.
|
|
|
|
## Configure ARK Server
|
|
|
|
All the needed variables are stored in the /etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg configuration file change them following the comments.
