CLIGSM

CLIGSM is a user-friendly CLI alternative to LinuxGSM for game server management. It provides an intuitive interface for managing game servers without requiring extensive command-line knowledge.

Installation

There are several ways to install CLIGSM:

Using pipx (Recommended)

# Install pipx if you haven't already
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath

# Reload your shell's PATH (or restart your terminal)
source ~/.bashrc  # or source ~/.profile

# Install CLIGSM with all dependencies
pipx uninstall cligsm  # Remove any existing installation
pipx install cligsm --include-deps

# Verify installation
cligsm --version

Using pip

# Install globally with all dependencies
pip3 install cligsm[all]

# Or install for current user only
pip3 install --user cligsm[all]

System Dependencies (Linux)

On Linux systems, you'll need to install some additional dependencies for SteamCMD:

# Enable 32-bit architecture
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

# Update package lists
sudo apt-get update

# Install required packages
sudo apt-get install -y lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libtinfo5:i386

Running as Root

If you're running CLIGSM as root (not recommended for production), you'll need to install it globally:

# Install pipx globally for root
sudo pip3 install pipx
sudo pipx ensurepath

# Install CLIGSM
sudo pipx install cligsm --include-deps

# Or using pip directly
sudo pip3 install cligsm[all]

Troubleshooting Installation

If you get "command not found" after installation:

1. Make sure your PATH includes Python's bin directory:

echo $PATH

2. Find where the package is installed:

pip3 show cligsm

3. Add the bin directory to your PATH if needed:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"  # Add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile

4. If you get dependency errors:

# Try reinstalling with all dependencies
pipx uninstall cligsm
pipx install cligsm --include-deps

# Or install missing dependencies manually
pip3 install requests psutil rich click

5. If SteamCMD fails to install:

# Make sure you have all system dependencies
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libtinfo5:i386

Features
