First, buy Valheim on Steam if you haven't already. Then, download 'Valheim Dedicated Server' tool from the Steam library under tools section.

Honestly, just follow the tutorial on the Valheim wiki. It’s straightforward and has all the details you need.
I set mine up using SteamCMD – it's a bit more techy but super reliable. Grab SteamCMD, download the Valheim server files, then configure and run it. Enjoy the smooth sailing!
