Download CLI tools from the Admin Portal

Overview

AccelByte Multiplayer Servers (AMS) comes with two complementary CLI tools that enables you to:

  1. Upload dedicated server files and containerize them into dedicated server image for regional distribution.
  2. Test your dedicated server locally according to AMS standards to ensure the dedicated server will work on the AMS environment without having to upload a dedicated server build to test.
