Navigate to Palworld Server Directory:

# cd ~/Steam/steamapps/common/PalServer

Start the Palworld Server:

# ./PalServer.sh

The terminal will display information indicating that your server is up and running.

Troubleshooting Tip:

If you encounter an error related to a missing shared object file, run the following commands:

# mkdir -p ~/.steam/sdk64/ steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1007 +quit cp~/Steam/steamapps/common/Steamworks\ SDK\ Redist/linux64/steamclient.so ~/.steam/sdk64/

These commands address the shared object file issue.

Connect to PalWorld Server

To join your recently set up Palworld server, follow these steps:

Copy the IP address of the device running the Palworld server.

Launch the Palworld application on your system and choose "Join multiplayer game."

In the address field at the bottom of the screen, paste the IP address you copied, followed by ":8211," and click "Connect."

Example:

If your PalWorld IP address is "192.168.1.100," paste "192.168.1.100:8211" into the address field.

Now, your server will load, and you can enjoy playing Palworld.
