Tutorial: Setting up the TeamSpeak 2 server on Linux

This guide will cover installing, and configuring a TeamSpeak 2 server on Linux. The installation is quite easy when you know exactly what to do. Let's begin the installation of the TeamSpeak 2 server from scratch.
  • Due to security reasons, we recommend that you create a separate user instead of running the server as "root". In this tutorial we'll create a new user called "teamspeak" to setup the TeamSpeak 2 server. Use the "useradd" command to add a new user to the system. You can find a working example on the screenshot below.



    After that you should be able to switch to your new user by using the "su" command.
  • Change into the "teamspeak" users new home directory and download the latest TeamSpeak 2 server package, which should be a ".tar.bz2" archive. You'll find the correct download URLs on our Downloads page. Please note that you must acknowledge our License Agreement prior to downloading.



    On the screenshot above we've downloaded the package from our main FTP server using "wget". For this tutorial we used the "quiet" parameter (-q) to suppress the usual status messages of "wget".
  • Unpack the Linux server by using the following command:



    After you've extracted the archive successfully you should see a new directory called "tss2_rc2". The TeamSpeak 2 server is now installed in that folder.
  • In order to start the server change into the "tss2_rc2" directory and execute the startscript provided with the package as shown on the screenshot below.

Congratulations! You've just installed and started your own TeamSpeak 2 server on Linux.
