Introduction

This guide is written to help you install a dedicated server on a linux system.

Requirements

  • Access to a linux server via SSH or by keyboard
  • An Internet connection
  • Roughly 600MB of free space

Installation

  1. Create a new directory by typing the following command:
    mkdir hlds_l
  2. Move to this directory by typing the following:
    cd hlds_l
  3. Download the steam installation file by typing:
    wget http://war3ft.com/downloads/misc/steam
  4. Give this file executable permissions by typing:
    chmod +x steam
  5. Now run the file that was just extracted by typing:
    ./steam
    This should update your steam updater</pre>
  6. Now run the following command to begin installing counter-strike (Note: to install condition zero change cstrike to czero and to install Day of Defeat change cstrike to dod):
    ./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir .

    No installation record found at /home/username/hlds_l

    ./hlds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 10 -autoupdate
