Introduction

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

Requirements

Create a new directory by typing the following command:
```
mkdir hlds_l
```
Move to this directory by typing the following:
```
cd hlds_l
```
Download the steam installation file by typing:
```
wget http://war3ft.com/downloads/misc/steam
```
Give this file executable permissions by typing:
```
chmod +x steam
```
Now run the file that was just extracted by typing:
```
./steam
```
This should update your steam updater</pre>
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 .
```

After this command you should see a message like:

No installation record found at /home/username/hlds_l

To start your game server type this in the command line:

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