How to Install Unturned 2.2.5 on Ubuntu 16.04

This article is a port of “How To Install Unturned on Linux” for Unturned 2.2.5 Ubuntu 16.04.

Introduction

This guide will teach you how to set up an Unturned 2.2.5 server on an AKLWEB HOST VPS running Ubuntu 16.04.

Note: This is an edited version of Unturned that doesn’t require SteamCMD to install. It also allows you to run multiple server instances, uses less RAM, and runs more efficiently.

Installation

Update the system:

apt-get update -y

Install the following packages for the Unturned server to work:

apt-get install screen unzip git -y

Add i386 architecture support:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update

Then, install these libraries:

apt-get install lib32stdc++6 mono-runtime mono-reference-assemblies-2.0 libc6-dev-i386 libgcc-4.8-dev:i386 -y

Downloading Server Files

Download the server files:

wget https://github.com/Unturned/server/releases/download/4.2/unturned-linux-dedicated.tar.gz

Extract the server files:

tar -zxvf unturned-linux-dedicated.tar.gz
cd unturned-bin

Run your newly installed Unturned server:

chmod +x dedicated.sh
./dedicated.sh

Installing Admin Commands

AdminCommands is a great way to gain some control over your server when it lacks a console.

You will need to be in the unturned-bin directory for this part.

Use git To get a clone of the mod files on your server:

git clone https://github.com/Horsuna/Unturned.git
cd Unturned

Confirm that the files got cloned properly using ls, the output should appear as follows:

AdminCommands.dll  Assembly-CSharp.dll  ModLoader.dll  README.md

Move the ModLoader and the AdminCommands into the server’s files:

mv * ../Unturned_Data/Managed/

Make a new directory for the AdminCommands mod:

mkdir mods

Move the AdminCommands mod into the mods directory

mv AdminCommands.dll mods/

You have successfully installed Unturned 2.2.5 with AdminCommands on Ubuntu 16.04.
