cd /home/ts3
su ts3

4. Download ts3 from official site

Visit http://www.teamspeak.com/downloads#server to download the latest version of the official sever software.

Make sure you don't download the server but click the small folder button (highlighted in image below). Also make sure you get the Linux Server 64-bit
Ts3 Setup Step 4

Now we extract the file, and delete the downloaded file.


tar -jxvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-VERSION.tar.bz2
rm teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-VERSION.tar.bz2

6. Accept the license.

Go into the ts3 folder and accept the ts3 license. Make sure you read the license.txt file.


cd teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64
touch .ts3server_license_accepted

7. Start your ts3 server.

Now simply start the server!


./ts3server_startscript.sh start


The server will start up and information will display; specifically your server query details and server admin token. Copy it by highlighting the text with your mouse then paste it into a text file. these are the details you need to control the installation.

Press Ctrl+C on your keyboard to go back to the command line. The server should still be running. Type "exit" in the SSH window to log out of the ts3 user and you should be back to root. If you're all done type "exit" again and it will log you out completely and close the window.
