Introduction

Do you have a Linux VPS/dedicated server and want to install the Arma 3 Dedicated Server on it? You’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll walk you through installing this service on your Linux server with SteamCMD. We’ll use Ubuntu as an example, but the process is similar for other distributions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

You need SSH access to your Linux server and a fully configured SteamCMD installation. See the “SteamCMD Linux Setup” guide.
As the steam user, run steamcmd +force_install_dir '<pfad>' +login anonymous +app_update 233780 validate +quit (Steam App ID 233780).
This avoids running the server with root privileges. The guide uses the steam user and installs everything in that user’s home directory.
