If the account running the server has sudo rights it will install dependencies automatically This can be done with usermod -aG sudo username

Installation

• Create a new user, in this example we will use vhserver

adduser vhserver

• Switch to the new user:

su - vhserver

• Download the lgsm script

wget -O linuxgsm.sh https://linuxgsm.sh && chmod +x linuxgsm.sh && bash linuxgsm.sh vhserver

• Run the installer:

./vhserver install

Systemd

• Run the following command to add a new systemd unit:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/vhserver.service

Copy the following text into the editor:

[Unit]
