====== How do I install and configure a TeamSpeak server? ======
First, connect to the server via an SSH connection. If you haven't already done so, we recommend using our instructions to establish a secure connection via SSH.

===== Installing the TeamSpeak server =====
 1 First, update the package management system by entering the following commands (may take a while):

  apt-get update
  apt-get upgrade
  
\\
 2. download the latest version of the TeamSpeak3 server

  wget https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/3.13.7/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.13.7.tar.bz2 -O teamspeak3-server

\\ 
 3. extract the archive

  tar -xvfj teamspeak3-server
  
\\
 4. delete the zipped archive by typing

  rm -r teamspeak3-server

\\
 5. navigate to the unzipped folder

  cd teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64

\\
 Accept the TeamSpeak Systems GmbH server license.

  touch .ts3server_license_accepted
  
  
===== Starting the server =====
To enable the TeamSpeak server type:

  ./ts3server_startscript.sh start
  
A message will be displayed with the TeamSpeak server administrator login details.\\
These are important, so it is worth remembering them. To get to the command line press ENTER.

===== Server configuration =====
If everything has been installed correctly, the script will start the server. You will use the following commands to manage the status of the server:

Shutdown:
  ./ts3server_startscript.sh stop

Startup:
  ./ts3server_startscript.sh start
  
Restarting:
  ./ts3server_startscript.sh restart

Display current server status:
  ./ts3server_startscript.sh restart

===== Connecting to the server =====
Download the latest version of the TeamSpeak client from the https://www.teamspeak.com/en/your-download/.

  - Open the client and log in.
  - Then create a new connection.
  - You will be prompted to enter the server IP address, password and username.
  - When you connect for the first time, you will be asked for the key to obtain administrator rights.
  - Enter the key to obtain full rights on the channel.

You can now use TeamSpeak with your friends by sending them the IP address and password of the server.
