Description
### User story
I would like to be able to launch the server on debian.
### Game
Ark Survival Evolved
### Linux distro
Debian 12
### Command
command: start
### Further information
# Issue
I go through the initial install on Debian 12, following the instructions provided on the website. It does go through it's initial setup without any issues. But, under the path: `/home/myuser/ARK_SERVER/serverfiles/ShooterGame/Binaries` there is ONLY a Win64 folder. It does not install a Linux folder.
The issue here is when running `./arkserver start`, the command fails because there is no Linux binaries.
