Installing

The Eco Server is now packaged up so as to not require dotnet or mono to be installed.

It is recommended to update your graphics driver to the latest available:

GPU URL
Nvidia https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/
AMD https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/amdgpu-installation
Intel https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/articles/000005520/graphics.html

Also make sure your Vulkan packages are up to date, see https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-test-vulkan-on-linux

Downloaded from https://play.eco

Install libc6-dev and libgdiplus packages

This will be provided in a install.sh script in a hotfix (0.9.0.3)

NOTE:Before you can run it, you will need to make the server executable: sudo chmod +x ./EcoServer

To run the server, run ./EcoServer

From Steam

The server can be found under tools.

When you run it you will be presented with three option:

  • Launch: This will just run the server, depending on your shell you may not see anything.
  • Launch with Gnome terminal: This will run the server in a new terminal window.
  • Install prerequisites (not working until 9.0.3): This will run install.sh to install the prerequisite packages.

From SteamCMD

Install libc6-dev and libgdiplus packages

To run the server, run ./EcoServer

Docker

You can download a docker image of the server using the command: docker pull strangeloopgames/eco-game-server

See https://hub.docker.com/r/strangeloopgames/eco-game-server for more details.
