In this tutorial we will be covering the process of installing and running a\u00a0CS:S<\/strong>\u00a0Game server.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n
• A Aklweb host Instance with\u00a02 GB of RAM<\/strong>\u00a0and running\u00a0Ubuntu<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Getting Started<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  \n
  1. Update the packages:\u00a0sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  2. Install these additional libraries:\u00a0sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 libc6-i386<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  3. Add a new user for running the game server:\u00a0sudo adduser steam<\/code>\u00a0(For security purposes)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Login to the new user that we created:\u00a0su steam<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     Downloading SteamCMD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

     SteamCMD<\/strong>\u00a0is a free tool created by Valve and used to download Game Server files easily.<\/p>\n

     \n
     1. As you are logged as the steam user, make sure you\u2019re in\u00a0\/home\/steam<\/code>.<\/li>\n
     2. Create a directory for SteamCMD:\u00a0mkdir SteamCMD<\/code>.<\/li>\n
     3. Navigate to the newly created directory and download the SteamCMD archive:\u00a0cd steamCMD && wget http:\/\/media.steampowered.com\/installer\/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz<\/code>.<\/li>\n
     4. Extract the\u00a0archive:tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Running SteamCMD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        Now we get to the exciting bit, downloading the actual files that make the game server operate.<\/p>\n

        \n
        1. Run SteamCMD:\u00a0.\/steamcmd.sh<\/code>.<\/li>\n
        2. Login to Steam servers anonymously:\u00a0login anonymous<\/code>.<\/li>\n
        3. Set the install directory:\u00a0force_install_dir .\/css\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
        4. Download the game files:\u00a0app_update 232330 validate<\/code>\u00a0(This may take a while).<\/li>\n
        5. Quit the SteamCMD console:\u00a0quit<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           Running the CS:S server<\/strong><\/h3>\n

           \n
           1. Navigate to the CS:S Installation Directory:\u00a0cd css<\/code><\/li>\n
           2. Execute this command to run the server:\u00a0.\/srcds_run -console -game cstrike -maxplayers 20 - port 27015 +map de_dust2<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              Your\u00a0CS:S<\/strong>\u00a0server should be up and running! To connect to it use the IP on your\u00a0Aklweb host\u00a0instance.<\/p>\n

              For an advanced configuration guide refer to the\u00a0CS:S<\/strong>\u00a0section on the\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>\u00a0Wiki. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
