Ark Survival Evolved - Linux Server - Install

Hello everyone and thanks for tuning in!

I have decided to create a video to show you how to install Ark Survival Evolved on LInux. This will explain from installing Ubuntu 14.04 to installing Steam and Ark Server Files

If your Ubuntu 14.04 install is 64 bit be sure to install
# sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1

# sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf
Add the following
fs.file-max=100000

Then run:
# sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

Next
#sudo vim /etc/security/limits.conf
Add the following:
* soft nofile 1000000
* hard nofile 1000000

Finally
# sudo vim /etc/pam.d/common-session
Then add
session required pam_limits.so

To learn more on Steam Installs goto:
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

Create a folder for your server -
# mkdir arkserver

Create a folder for steam
# mkdir steamcmd
# cd steamcmd
# wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
# tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

Next run
# ./steamcmd.sh
Steam- login anonymous
Steam- force_install_dir /home/user/arkserver
Steam- app_update 376030 validate
Steam- exit

Remember to create a screen session first
# screen

# cd /home/yourUser/arkserver/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux
# vim server_start.sh
#! /bin/bash
./ShooterGameServer TheIsland?listen?SessionName=server_name?ServerPassword=serverPassword?ServerAdminPassword=admin_password -server -log
# wq
#chmod +x server_start.sh
