[Ubuntu/Linux] Install any server (excluding Warlords of Draenor)

[Knuxyl]

I have created a script that will download and install any server emulator except Warlords of Draenor (I can't find an open source one).

All of them will download the latest source, build them, and install them.

MYSQL database management is not included. SQL databases will be installed into /opt/GAME/sql/ (excluding Cata, Mop, and Legion, these need to be downloaded manually. The script includes the link to download them).

All of the servers downloaded are actively maintained and hosted on github.

The script also downloads all dependencies needed on Ubuntu. The package names will most likely be named different for different distributions.

You need to save this script on your system and then run with sudo ./NAMEOFSCRIPT

[Yuukie]

Thanks
just a mod script need to be save as .sh for the -linux noob
For Debian User edit first line #!/bin/bashclear to #!/bin/bash

[Dojk]

Hello,

Thank you. How can I launch the server after downloading it, please ? I ran the .sh file, but after that I didn't know how to launch the server, create an account, etc... Thanks.

[iGsYnDrOme]

Thank you very much, but i can't run the script on Ubuntu 16.04.
sudo ./scriptname doesn't work (command not found)
If i run it with sudo sd scriptname then i get only Syntax errorss (elif" unexpected (expecting "then"))
Don't know much about coding, but when i change the elif to then, i get other errors.

Mine worked great up to installing the project then glitched out :-( here is the copy of what happend during the last stages. Looks like a file is missing :-( any help would be cool ;-)

2019 and this is very usable and this is helping me a lot in linux.

[Trosis]

I want to understand linux, right now I'm learning about managing running processes and also checking running processes, can you advise a good article about this?

[Demianus]

The easiest way to deal with running processes is to read a book on administering Linux systems. Choose any book because there is a chapter on process management and a complete description of all the process management commands. There is a good article about checking running processes in Linux https://www.hostforweb.com/article/how-check-running-processes-linux The information is quite good there too. It should be easy for you to figure it all out.

Hi,

I wish to install Azerothcore Wotlk spp from Zaicopx on my steam deck which run on linux SteamOS.

SteamOS come from Debian 8 so the package will be different i guess.
Anybody have tried to install any kind of repack on steamOS?
