Installation

You have 3 ways to install the script:

• By using the repository

• By installing the package

• By manually installing the script

After that continue with user login and configuration

Installation by repository

By installing the repository you will also be able to update the script using the package manager when a new update is available.

Arch based distro

Edit /etc/pacman.confand add the following line to the bottom of the file:

Include = /etc/pacman.d/seventhcore-scripts-repo

Then create a new file at /etc/pacman.d/seventhcore-scripts-repo and add the following content:

[seventhcore-scripts-repo]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7thCore/pkg-repo/pkg-arch

Arch users have to install steamcmd from the aur before attempting to install the package.

You can now install the script by running pacman -Sy sesrv-script

Debian based distro

First you need to download and add the repository public key to your keyring. Now because apt-key is deprecated we will be using a diffrent command to get the key:

wget --quiet -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7thCore/pkg-repo/pkg-debian/seventhcore-scripts-repo.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee "/usr/share/keyrings/seventhcore-scripts-repo.gpg" >/dev/null

Now create a new file at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/seventhcore-scripts-repo.list and add the following content:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/seventhcore-scripts-repo.gpg] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7thCore/pkg-repo/pkg-debian stable main

You can now install the script by running apt update and after that apt install sesrv-script
