Server problems. Mac

I wanted to create a server, however there are no tutorials on youtube, and the ones that are there are from 6 years ago, I tried them and they didn’t work, I think the main problem is that their macOS is really old and so the command prompt isn’t similar. Does anyone know a tutorial that is new and works for macOS?

How to Make a TeamSpeak 3 Server on Mac OS

It’s also possible to create a TeamSpeak 3 server on MacOS. The whole setup can be completed in 4 simple steps.

Step 1 – Download and extract TeamSpeak 3 server

Start by downloading the TeamSpeak 3 server setup for Mac. Once finished, double-click to extract it.

Step 2 – Accept the TeamSpeak 3 license agreement

Open a new terminal box and execute the following to accept the license agreement:

set TS3SERVER_LICENSE=accept

Step 3 – Start the TeamSpeak 3 Server and retrieve your privileged key

Navigate to the extracted TeamSpeak 3 server files using the same terminal window. For example:

cd Downloads/teamspeak3-server_mac

Start the server by entering:

./ts3server

Wait a few moments for the process to finish. On the screen, you will also see your privileged key:

When I type ./ts3server and press enter it says:-
Please set the environment variable TS3SERVER_LICENSE to “accept” in order to accept the license agreement.

Alternatively, create a file named “.ts3server_license_accepted” in the working directory or start the server with the command line parameter “license_accepted=1”.

To view the license agreement set TS3SERVER_LICENSE to “view” in order to print the license to the console.

Alternatively view the file “LICENSE” in your favorite text viewer yourself

As i said above in Step 2:

Run the below command from the macOS terminal to accept the license agreement.

set TS3SERVER_LICENSE=accept

And then start your server. :slight_smile:
