| ## Requirements | ||
|
|
||
| * A **Hytale account that owns the game**. It's needed even to download the dedicated server, and for the server itself to run. | ||
| * Java 25 (`openjdk-25-jre`). LinuxGSM installs it as a dependency. |
| If the saved downloader login stops working, an unattended update fails within 5 minutes with a message, rather than waiting forever. Run `./hytserver update` in a terminal and approve the login again. | ||
|
|
||
| {% hint style="info" %} | ||
| The Hytale server also checks for updates itself, every hour. If it updates its own files, `./hytserver details` and `update` warn that the server files are newer than LinuxGSM's record, and the next `./hytserver update` corrects it. |
