There are two primary ways to obtain the latest server files:

For friends outside your local home network to join, you must open on your router.

: Go to Terraria.org and scroll to the very bottom to find the "PC Dedicated Server" download link.

: Once the server says it has started, it is live on your machine. 3. Enabling External Connections (Port Forwarding)

: Open your Steam Library , click the dropdown filter to enable "Tools" , and search for "Terraria Dedicated Server" . Install it just like a game. 2. Launching and Configuration

To download and set up a Terraria dedicated server on your PC, you can either use the official files provided by Re-Logic or install it directly through Steam's built-in tools. Setting up a dedicated server allows you to keep a world running even when you aren't playing, so friends can join at any time. 1. Download Server Files
