In this article, we will discuss how to install TeamSpeak on CentOS 7. TeamSpeak is a popular voice communication software that allows users to communicate with each other over the Internet. It is widely used by gamers, businesses, and organizations to facilitate communication and collaboration.

Step 1: Update Your System

Before we begin with the installation process, it is important to ensure that your CentOS 7 system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo yum update

This command will update your system to the latest available packages.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

The TeamSpeak server requires a few dependencies to be installed on the system. These dependencies include:

• libstdc++6
• libgcc_s.so.1
• libcurl4-gnutls-dev
• lib32gcc1
• lib32tinfo5
• lib32z1

You can install these dependencies by running the following command:

yum install nano wget perl tar net-tools bzip2 -y

Step 3: Download TeamSpeak Server

Next, we need to download the TeamSpeak server package from the official website. You can do this by using the wget command:

wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.0.13.8/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.13.8.tar.bz2

This will download the TeamSpeak server package to your system.

Step 4: Extract TeamSpeak Server

After downloading the TeamSpeak on CentOS server package, we need to extract it to a directory on the system. You can do this by using the following command:

tar -xvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.13.8.tar.bz2

This will extract the package to a directory named teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64.

Step 5: Start TeamSpeak Server

To start the TeamSpeak on CentOS server, navigate to the extracted directory and execute the ts3server_startscript.sh file:

cd teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64
./ts3server_startscript.sh start

This will start the TeamSpeak on CentOS server and display some information about the server, including the admin token, which is required to manage the server.

Step 6: Connect to TeamSpeak Server

Once the server is running, you can connect to it using the TeamSpeak client software. You can download the client software from the official website.

Launch the client software and enter the IP address of your CentOS 7 server and the admin token when prompted. You should now be connected to the TeamSpeak server.

Step 7: Configure TeamSpeak Server

After connecting to the TeamSpeak server, you can configure it to meet your requirements. You can set up channels, create user accounts, and configure server settings using the TeamSpeak client software.
