Hi first time user here I need a bit of advice as to where I should put and run the gamecreate install folder. I know for security reasons it should never be in the root folder so can someone aim me in the right direction plz.

First rule is to never run a binary file using root unless absolutely necessary.

Create a user if you haven't already by useradd and if need be the groupadd commands.

Should you have created the home directory for that user, it should look something like this /home/{user}/ where {user} is the user you've added or logged in as.

Place all your files there and run GC from there Smile

If you run GC with -f parameter like so:

Andrew · Mammoth

You can also add:

log-file gamecreate.log

To your gamecreate.ini file and it will write a log file instead (without -f).
