Before you can start installing your favourite dedicated server,

you must let SteamCMD do update itself.

You can do this, by running SteamCMD itself:



cd /opt/steamcmd

runuser -l steamcmd -c './steamcmd.sh' -s /bin/bash



On the first run, you will see, that SteamCMD starts updating itself.

After that, SteamCMD is ready to go

for installing your favourite dedicated server.



Please keep in mind: You should not run SteamCMD as root!



This package provides an init script and a conf file.

Don't modify those files directly,

but instead make a symlink of that init script

and a copy of that conf file.

You would do this for every server, you want to setup.



For example, you wan't to setup an old Counter-Strike 1.6 server,

you would do:



cd /etc/init.d

ln -s steamcmd steamcmd.cstrike



cd /etc/conf.d

cp steamcmd steamcmd.cstrike



After that, make your settings in /etc/conf.d/steamcmd.cstrike



In order to install with SteamCMD a dedicated server,

for example CS 1.6, please run:



cd /opt/steamcmd

./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /opt/steamcmd/hlds +app_set_config 90 mod cstrike +app_update 90 validate +quit



While you can use any path for '+force_install_dir', it's recommended to use:

'/opt/steamcmd/hlds' for older HL1 based mods.

'/opt/steamcmd/srcds' for newer HL2 based mods.
