Server Installation

Creating servers in nanos world is very simple and straightforward, just a few steps and you have your server up and ready!

System Requirements​

  • OS: Windows or Linux
  • Processor: 1.0 GHz (faster core is better than multiple cores)
  • Memory: 50 MB (grows if having too many Players or spawned Entities)
  • Storage: 10 MB (+ Assets & Packages size)
  • Network: Recommended at least 1 MB/s (grows if having too many Players or spawned Entities)
  • Network Forwarded Ports: 7777 TCP/UDP and 7778 UDP (you can change that in the Config)

Windows​

On Windows, you have three options for downloading nanos world server:

  1. Use the executable (.exe) already located at nanos-world/Server/NanosWorldServer.exe (if you downloaded the base game).
  2. Or download nanos world™ Dedicated Server tool from Steam Client.
  3. Use SteamCMD.

Linux​

On Linux, the only way to download the server is through SteamCMD. If you are on Ubuntu/Debian, you can easily install it like that:

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lib32gcc1 steamcmd

Note: on Linux, you must start the server using the Shell Script ./NanosWorldServer.sh, which will configure proper paths and needed dynamic libraries which need to be loaded!

tip

You should probably look into Linux & ARM Server installation to see if your operating system is entirely supported!

Downloading using SteamCMD​

To download the server through SteamCMD (a command line version of Steam) please download it before proceeding.

1. After downloaded, run steamcmd executable, once loaded you will get into it's console:​

Steam>

2. You can optionally define an installation folder to install nanos world server:​

Steam> force_install_dir c:/nanos-world-server/

3. The next step is to login on SteamCMD, you can login anonymously with:​

Steam> login anonymous

4. You can then install or update nanos world server using it's app id: 1936830:​

Steam> app_update 1936830

And you are done! You can quit the console:​

Steam> quit

Installing bleeding-edge version​

To install the bleeding-edge version of the server, you will need to specify it's branch when installing:

Steam> app_update 1936830 -beta bleeding-edge

Automated Installation​

An easier way to install or update nanos world server is using an one-liner command to run SteamCMD:

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 1936830 validate +quit

or on bleeding-edge:

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 1936830 -beta bleeding-edge validate +quit

Finished! You can now proceed to the next steps to configure your nanos world server.
