###### How to install the TeamSpeak-Server in linux ######

This document describes in great detail each step required to get the
TeamSpeak server to run in linux. If you are a more advanced user you can
propably skip this, its for beginners (for advanced users just do: download,
extract, run).


### 1. Downloading the server ###

There are two possibilities: Either you download the server with some graphical
tool of your choice, and then copy it to some place on the harddrive of your
linux computer, or you try and download directly from the shell. There is a
useful tool called "wget" to do this. It works like this (this example uses
the currently newest server, just replace the URL with the link to the most
recent server file (as found on http://www.teamspeak.com) ).
        wget ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/4players/teamspeak.org/releases/ts2_server_rc2_202319.tar.bz2


### 2. Changing to the directory the server is in ###

Now, we have to be in the directory to which the server file was downloaded
too. If you just issued the wget command, then you are propably already there,
check if you see it via:
        ls
If you cant see the server file, you will have to find out where you copied it
to, and change to that directory:
        cd /you/should/know/where/you/put/it
If you entered the right path, "ls" should now show the file.


### 3. Unpacking the server ###

Unpacking is easy, simply issue (substitute the file name so it fits for your
serverfile):
        tar -xvjf ts2_server_rc2_202319.tar.bz2


### 4. Changing into the newly created server directory ###

Now we want to change into the newly created directory, in which the programme
files are situated.
        cd tss2_rc2


### 5. Starting the server, and stopping it again ###

To start the server you can now issue:
        ./teamspeak2-server_startscript start
If you wish to stop the server again run
        ./teamspeak2-server_startscript stop


### 6. Configuring the server ###

You might want to configure the newly installed server. There is a nice
webadmin interface for this, just open your favorite browser and type
"http://ts_server:14534" into the address field - of course you would have to
substitute "ts_server" with the "real" IP/Hostname.


### 7. More Questions? ###
 
Further questions are answered in the provided README file, that comes
with the server, if you are in the right directory (the tss2_rc2 in the
example), you can read it by issuing:
        less README

You have a working TeamSpeak server. Have fun with it !
