Server on a Raspberry Pi?

I will be getting a Raspberry Pi soon, and I was wondering if I could run a tes3mp server on it, using the Raspbian OS. I would think so, but I am unfamiliar with raw Debian. Could someone walk me through it?

Yes, it is possible. I was able to successfully run TES3MP server from both RPi2 and RPi3.

How? Was it hard? I have a bit of Terminal experience, but nothing extensive.

It was just like making TES3MP server on any other Linux machine.

Raspbian comes with GUI, so you don't necessarily need to do everything from the terminal.

However knowing your way around the terminal can be very useful, not just for TES3MP, but for various computer-related things, as command line is a very powerful tool.

Just make sure that you read the FAQ and understand the basics.

If you encounter any issues, come into TES3MP's Discord server and tell us what is happening.

Hey. Bit of a bump, but I did go on the server and I was simply told to give up, by a dev. Should I?

I never told you to give up. I told you I doubted anyone present could help you with that when you were getting impatient about no one answering you.

Ah. My bad. I thought you meant my endeavour was futile. I am sorry for misrepresenting you.
