Horrible wiki. Need help setting up server on linux.

I'm using arch linux and can't setup a server for this. I've gotten to the point i can run it vanilla but no idea how to get mods, and there is no posted file structure posted on the tmodloader wiki at all. I'm not a linux expert at all, and so wiki's that work would be extremely nice for something like this. Minecraft for instance has no trouble at all with explaining how to set up a server

Were you reading https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/blob/1.4.4/patches/tModLoader/Terraria/release_extras/DedicatedServerUtils/README.md?

Correct. This is what I was using

I tried setting up through steamCMD. i was able to install it no problems. The issue is the second step here. The command it tells me to run simply doesn't exist. Where should the terminal be routed to when running the command? Should I be within steamCMD, because that certainly didn't work either

So i ended up giving up with steamCMD, and downloading the files directly from github. I now have the folder and can run the server. I created a 'Mods' folder and dropped the mods i need. There is a enabled.json file within the Mods folder, as it says I need.

manage-tModLoaderServer.sh is in the install folder/DedicatedServerUtils

I guess you need to download it to your server, or if you already installed the game, you already have it

alright welp i figured it out. I didnt realize i had to just download the manage file and run it in the folder and that'll do everything. we're good now
