Palworld Server Launcher

A simple command-line tool to help you install, manage, and run a dedicated Palworld server on Linux. This tool automates the setup process, including installing dependencies, configuring the server as a systemd service, and setting up permissions for easy management.

Features

• Automated Installation: Installs SteamCMD and the Palworld dedicated server with a single command.
• Package Manager Repair: Automatically attempts to fix common apt and dpkg issues before installation.
• Service Management: Creates a systemd service to run the server in the background and start it on boot.
• Permission Handling: Configures Polkit rules to allow server management (start, stop, restart) without needing sudo.
• Unattended Setup: Automatically accepts the SteamCMD license agreement for a smoother setup process.

Prerequisites

• An Ubuntu Linux distribution.
• sudo privileges for the user running the script.
