Installing TeamSpeak 3 server on Linux

I will assume you are logged into the server using the user you want to run teamspeak. You do not want to run teamspeak as the root user.The fist step is creating the directory for your TS3 installation.

useradd ts3user

You now need to go into that directory

cd ts3user

Once in the directory, you need to download the version of teamspeak you want to use. You can get that from http://www.teamspeak...page=downloads
I am using 64bit so I will use the following url.

http://teamspeak.gameserver.gamed.de/ts3/releases/3.0.1/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.1.tar.gz

To download the file simply copy the url and paste it into the command window by right clicking. You will need to use the wget command before the url. It will look like this.

wget http://teamspeak.gameserver.gamed.de/ts3/releases/3.0.1/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.1.tar.gz

Once the file is downloaded you need to unpack it.

tar -zxvf teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.1.tar.gz

Now you need to delete the downloaded file.

rm teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.1.tar.gz

Now you will need to go into that directory.

cd teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64

You do not have a ts3server.ini file yet so we need to create one. This is the file we will need to edit so we can change the ip address and ports if needed.

./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh createinifile=1

You will get some information including your master token key. Copy it by highlighting it and using normal copy ctrl+c. Now you need to edit the ts3server.ini file. You can download this file from the root/home/ts3user/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64 folder on your server. For starters, you just need to add the ip address for the voice connection. Upload the file and then start the server.

./ts3server_startscript.sh start

Note: I will follow this up with a video tutorial for those that prefer them.
