Once there, run the following command to download the factorio software: sudo wget -O factorio_ Since we will be running this game under the gamemaster account, first get into gamemaster’s home directory by typing: cd /home/gamemaster Next we are going to get the tar package from factorio’s site HERE.

I’m also fairly average at linux so if there are any recommendations on how to make this easier please let me know! Originally I was doing this with Ubuntu, but once I heard that Clear Linux had a new installer (via Linux Unplugged), and after playing with it as my main OS on my laptop, I decided to also try and migrate over my server from Ubuntu to Clear Linux. As well, I like having excuses to try new things. My friends and I play factorio and having a dedicated server makes that easier for us to play together.
