Download both files and verify with:
sha256sum -c valheim-console.sha256 valheim-console: OK
The check has to run in the directory holding both files.
Download on Ubuntu or Debian and install - eg. for Valheim:
sudo install -m 0755 -o root -g root valheim-console /usr/local/bin/valheim-console
Run with setup --dry-run first, to see what will be installed:
sudo /usr/local/bin/valheim-console setup --dry-run
It'll creates the game user, installs steamcmd, the game, creates systemd units and starts the management console.
Management console URL, login etc. is printed at the end.
Run setup to install (or upgrade) the console:
sudo /usr/local/bin/valheim-console setup
Use --user to install/upgrade the console under a different user:
sudo /usr/local/bin/valheim-console setup --user gameuser
Continuously tested on:
