Replace the "USER" with your username. Feel Free to change any of the directory names or locations if you wish.

sudo mkdir /srv/steamcmd
sudo chown USER /srv/steamcmd
cd /srv/steamcmd
wget http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar xf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
mkdir -p /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod

Install Gmod

./steamcmd.sh
login anonymous
force_install_dir /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod
app_update 4020
quit

Or with one command. You can also save this as a script for easy updating.

./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod +app_update 4020 +quit

Install Prophunt

You can change whatever option you want on the server command or add more.

cd /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod/garrysmod/gamemodes
wget https://github.com/andrewtheis/prophunt/archive/master.zip
unzip prophunt-master.zip
mv prophunt-master prophunt
cd /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod
./srcds_run -game garrysmod +maxplayers 8 +map cs_assault +gamemode prophunt -autoupdate

You can edit the gamemode settings in /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod/garrysmod/gamemodes/prophunt/gamemode/config.lua.

Startup Script

First start your script in a text editor.

cd /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod
nano prophunt.sh

Copy the following text into your text editor and save it. To save in nano use "Control + X" and follow the prompts. Feel free to change any of these options to your preference.

#!/bin/sh
cd /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod
screen -dms prophunt ./srcds_run -game garrysmod +gamemode prophunt +maxplayers 8 +map cs_assault -autoupdate

Now make the script executable and then run it.

chmod +x prophunt.sh
./prophunt.sh

Use "Control + D" to detach from the screen and screen -r prophunt to re-attach.

Other Stuff

• Dont forget to forward the steam ports on your router to your server pc.
• You will only have the default garrysmod maps at first, which dont have any props, so you will have to get new ones.
• You can download your own maps from various sources and place them in the /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod/garrysmod/maps directory.
• Dont forget about the global Garrysmod server setting in /srv/steamcmd/server/gmod/garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg. Here is an example of a simple one.

hostname          "My PropHunt Server"
rcon_password     "password"
sv_password       "password"
sv_region         1
sv_lan            0
