Server User Account Creation
Execute the following command on your server and follow the prompts to create a user, make sure to utilize a secure password scheme. This user will be for running the Atavism server and all tasks to start and stop the server. Again, never run your game servers under root accounts! This is a huge security risk as any security risks on the game server will potentially compromise the system security. Always create a new user and grant ownership of files to this user.
sudo adduser atavism
Entering this command will prompt for a password and confirm that password. Once entered your user account will be created. We will use this user to run Atavism. For security reasons never run your game server under the root or ubuntu users, always create a user for this purpose.
