Before installing and setting up, we need certain files and software packages. All of them are in free access and practically do not require special knowledge to use. First, take with a boar of the finished server for our game, as well as separate 
a set of administration tools. It is possible, in the future you will want to add any useful plugins to them at your discretion.

We open it through a notebook, in the -maxplayers string, specify the maximum allowable number of players, in quotes after -Hostname there will be a name of our server (Latin only), in the -Port port line, respectively. Next, in the main folder with the server we find the server.cfg file lying along the path \\ ServerData \\ CFG. It stores an administrator password (field rcon.password "_") and login (rcon.login) that you need to change to your own. SERVER.PVP item is responsible for the possibility of players fight in mode " Player VS Player, "that is, against each other. In the same folder there is bans.cfg, which will immediately be blocked by users (if such are found). Starting the server is performed by a double click on the Run Server.bat file (takes up to a minute of real time). To go to your server, run Rust and enter in the console (call the F1 button) command "net.connect 127.0.0.1:27015" (without quotes).
Useful Commands and Managing RUST Server
