1- Introduction
Welcome to this tutorial where we will show you how to install an ArmA 3 server under the Linux OS (Debian and Ubuntu). If you want to install an ArmA 3 server on Windows, it's not the same procedures, so it's useless to follow this tutorial!

Well, let's start from the beginning, the prerequisites!

___
2- Prerequisites

Before you begin, please make sure that the following criteria are met, so as not to be lost in your installation.

To have a MINIMUM of knowledge in Linux, in order not to make stupidity (I do not return on the basic linux commands.)!
Have a machine under the Debian or Ubuntu OS
Have opened the necessary ports (and only those necessary) for ArmA 3.

If these conditions are met, you can continue!

___
3- Software Installation Requirements

Installation summary:

MySQL
PhpMyAdmin, with Apache 2

To start, download the latest version of MySQL, via the following command (make sure you have administrator rights):

Code:

apt-get install mysql-server

During the installation, a superuser password will be asked, insert a secure password.
If the system does not ask you for a password, enter the following command:

Code:

mysql_secure_installation

Well, MySQL is installed, now, install PhpMyAdmin, to manage your databases.

Enter the following command:

Code:

apt-get install apache2 phpmyadmin

You can now access the management of your databases by opening your browser and making sure

Code:

YOURIP/phpmyadmin

(Replaces YOURIP with the IP of your machine)
So we are done with the installation of components for development! Let's move to the server installation!

4- Installing ArmA 3 Server

Installation summary:

SteamCMD and dependencies
ArmA 3 Server

We will start by creating a user specifically dedicated to your server, thanks to the command:

Code:

adduser arma3server

When creating your user, a User Password will be asked, enter a secure password!

Then, let's connect to this user:

Code:

su arma3server

Now we are going to create a special folder dedicated to SteamCMD, which is a tool provided by VALVE to install game servers, like us here ArmA 3 Server.

Create a folder with the following command:

Code:

mkdir steamcmd

Then, let's move in this folder:

Code:

cd steamcmd

Now, we will install SteamCMD dependencies with the command:

Code:

apt-get install lib32gcc1

To continue, we will install steamcmd in this folder, thanks to the command:

Code:

wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

Unpack this archive with:

Code:

tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

Then we will create a folder for ArmA 3 Server, like this.

Code:

cd -

Code:

mkdir server

Then let's go back to SteamCMD

Code:

cd steamcmd

Let's now run steamcmd:

Code:

./steamcmd.sh

SteamCMD Will Install VALVE Contents to Run SteamCMD
You must now insert your STEAM information, with the command:

Code:

login STEAMUSER STEAMPASS

/! \ Replace STEAMUSER with your Steam account name and STEAMPASS with the password of this Steam account

Once finished, we will define the path to install the ArmA 3 server, depending on the folder created above.
Just run this command:

Code:

force_install_dir / home / arma3server / server

And now, let's go, let's install our server:

Code:

app_update 107410 validate

And there, your ArmA 3 server is installed!
Once your server is installed, you can leave steamCMD with the command:

Code:

exit

Your server is now installed!
Below are the useful commands to start and stop your server!

Start:

Code:

cd / arma3server / server

Code:

./arma3server start

Stop:

Code:

cd / arma3server / server

Code:

./arma3server stop

This tutorial is now complete, if you have comments to make up, improvements or other, I invite you to make me go back.
