Do you have a Linux VPS/dedicated server and want to install Hytale on it? You’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll explain step by step how to install this service on your Linux server.
Start by creating a dedicated directory for the Hytale server. This keeps all server files neatly in one place.
sudo mkdir -p /opt/hytale
sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) /opt/hytale
cd /opt/hytale
The server requires two main components: the server application itself and the game assets. You can obtain these files using the Hytale command-line downloader, which is designed specifically for server deployments and easier updates.
The CLI downloader provides a structured way to download and update the Hytale server files. After downloading the downloader archive, extract it to a temporary directory. The archive contains a QUICKSTART.md file that explains the tool’s basic features.
Run the downloader from the command line and follow the instructions to download the latest server version. Once it has finished, copy the downloaded server files and the assets archive to your server directory. The directory should then contain the server JAR file and an assets archive such as Assets.zip.
