THERE SEEMS TO BE ISSUES WITH SOME VERSIONS OF UBUNTU This page was tested and known working with Ubuntu 24.04.

At least 1 person has had issues with Ubuntu 22.04 not working. Based on discord logs, maybe a few people.

This assumes .net and steam cmd are already installed and can be found / executed by running a command ex dotnet --info or steamcmd in the cli

Steps I Took

create a directory.

mkdir sbox2

Open SteamCMD (assuming installed already)

steamcmd

force install dir

force_install_dir /home/derrik/sbox2

login

login anonymous

Update

app_update 1892930

should end with Success! App '1892930' fully installed.

Fixing “required file not found”

Use dos2unix to unfuck the files, i think its just line endings so use w/e tool you want.

Final

Example start script from docs

#!/bin/bash
./sbox-server.exe +game facepunch.sandbox facepunch.flatgrass +hostname "My Dedicated Server"
