Linux

Currently the Astroneer dedicated server software is not available for linux and wine is not able to run it either. Astro-starter does provide native linux builds that can be used for remote server management. Also if wine should at support astro-starter should be able to support it.

run (development)

Tested with deno 1.10.2

deno run -A --unstable index.ts

compile

To build binaries for windows and linux just run the following command to run the build script that takes care of static files.

deno run -A --unstable buildBinaries.ts
