For Linux distributions

1) Transfer

First of all, you need to download the setup from the original BuiltByBit site to your computer. Then you need to transfer the setup from your computer to your machine easily via applications such as WinSCP.

NOTE: If you get stuck on this step you can contact us via support but most likely your hosting company will be able to help, but we are always here to support you!

2) Setting up Setup

First of all, after transferring your package, extract the server file from the rar file and create a .sh file inside this file, this is a step that will help you start/shutdown and manage your server in an easy way. Unfortunately you can't open any application on Linux by clicking on it like you can on Windows, this is where console applications like Terminal come into play. Also, the linux distro you are using has an effect here, because sometimes the commands may vary because the linux distros are different. We will continue by giving examples on Debian Linux. You can create your own flag for the .sh file on https://www.birdflop.com/resources/flags/ and open your server in a more optimized way.

3) Start your server

As we mentioned above, opening any application by clicking on it like Windows is unfortunately invalid for Linux distributions. I'm going to start with the Debian Linux distribution for the things I'm about to talk about, if you're using a different distribution you can still get support and contact us via our discord server, but I think you won't need us and your hosting will help you, but we're always here for support!

NOTE: For the console, aka terminal, you will need to connect to your server using Termius or similar applications. Your hosting company will most likely provide support for this, but we are always here!

1) Open a Window

First, enter the console and open a new window using the “tmux” command, from here you will be able to manage your server's console just as easily as on windows.

2) Find the location of your server.

With the “cd” command you need to find the file location where the setup is located: “cd /root/server/”

3) Start your server

Start your server using the “bash” command, I can give you an example of something like this, for example your .sh file is called “start” and the command you enter should be “bash start.sh” and then your server will start, you can use the ctrl + c shortcuts to shut down, but there are some commands that we recommend you enter before shutting down, The /save-all, /citizens save commands are recommended commands and you don't need to use a shortcut, you can also shut down the server by typing /stop.
