What is Ark Survival Evolved linux bash script?

Script is for updating server and starting and there is discord webhook to announce server start, stop and update!

How to install and run the file?

Where i should put the skript file?

Drop startark.sh to your root folder.

Give permission to execute file

You will need to make the file executable. Let's assume that you have downloaded your file as startark.sh, you can then run in your terminal:

chmod +x ./startark.sh

chmod is a command for changing file's permissions, +x sets execute permissions (in this case for everybody) and finally you have your file name.
