Installation

You have 3 ways to install the script:

After that continue with user login and configuration


Installation by repository

By installing the repository you will also be able to update the script using the package manager when a new update is available.

Arch based distro

Edit /etc/pacman.confand add the following line to the bottom of the file:

Include = /etc/pacman.d/seventhcore-scripts-repo

Then create a new file at /etc/pacman.d/seventhcore-scripts-repo and add the following content:

[seventhcore-scripts-repo]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7thCore/pkg-repo/pkg-arch

Arch users have to install steamcmd from the aur before attempting to install the package.

You can now install the script by running pacman -Sy isrsrv-script

Debian based distro

First you need to download and add the repository public key to your keyring. Now because apt-key is deprecated we will be using a diffrent command to get the key:

wget --quiet -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7thCore/pkg-repo/pkg-debian/seventhcore-scripts-repo.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee "/usr/share/keyrings/seventhcore-scripts-repo.gpg" >/dev/null

Now create a new file at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/seventhcore-scripts-repo.list and add the following content:

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/seventhcore-scripts-repo.gpg] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7thCore/pkg-repo/pkg-debian stable main

You can now install the script by running apt update and after that apt install isrsrv-script


Installation by package

Arch users have to install steamcmd from the aur before attempting to install the package.
