Ark installation via Ark Server Tools #928

I had this all setup once before and it worked perfectly. I setup on a new box and I think something is off somewhere. I have a staging directory setup and the steamcmd and data folders and stuff all set in the ArkManager config but when I do the install command through arkmanager I end up with the game files plus a steamapps folder in my server files location. Nothing appears in the staging directory or the Steam folder directories set in the config. Is this normal? It never did this before that I remember. Screenshots or pastebin links can be provided if needed.

To use the staging directory, arkStagingDir needs to be set to the staging directory path.

The path in steamcmdroot should contain steamcmd.sh and its supporting files.

The path in steamdataroot should point to where steamcmd stores its data. On older versiones, it was the steamcmdroot. Newer version put it into $HOME/Steam or $HOME/.steam depending on what distro you're on and other environmental factors.

Note also that the install command does not use the staging directory.
