    Setting up a Terraria server is very simple and can be done very quickly. First, we need to complete a few steps. 

    Prerequisites:

    You will need an IP address to play with other players. Follow this guide to purchase one for your Shell. 

    IP Address Guide

    Update and install tools:

    sudo apt update 
    sudo apt install -y wget tmux unzip

    Server files Download

    Download the latest version of the Terraria server software at the following link:

    Downloads

    Once downloaded, within the downloads folder, run the following command

    Unzip <Name of the downloaded server file>

    Navigate to the directory: 

    cd 1412
    cd Linux

    Add executable permissions

    sudo chmod +x TerrariaServer.bin.x86* 

    Launch the server

    ./TerrariaServer.bin.x86_64

    Finally,

    ~/.local/share/Terraria/Worlds/

    The screenshot above lists the new world I created "Hworld". To create your own type "n" and it will prompt you for a name and difficulty level. 

    Set the maximum number of players: I set mine to the max of 16

    Set the port: Hit enter to use the default, 7777.

    Enable port forwarding: type "y"

    Set your password: I entered none since I prefer no passwords for my server.

    To connect to the server, simply Launch Terraria and select multiplayer > join via IP. Then select a player and when asked for an IP type "localhost"

    And that's it, happy gaming!
