This guide will show you how to setup a\u00a0Counter-Strike: 1.6 server on Linux<\/strong>. The steps here will work for most Linux\u00a0distros<\/strong>\u00a0that support\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First, download\u00a0SteamCMD.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 mkdir SteamCMD\r\n cd SteamCMD\r\n wget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Next, obtain the 32-bit system libs. If your system uses\u00a0yum<\/code>, you can run the following command.<\/p>\n
yum install glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Open the ports used by\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>\u00a0in your system firewall.<\/p>\n
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 27000:27030 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT\r\niptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 4380 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Extract the files of the\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>\u00a0archive.<\/p>\n
tar xvfz steamcmd_linux.tar.gz\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Launch\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>; you will see it download and install updates.<\/p>\n
.\/steamcmd.sh\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Download the game server software.<\/p>\n
login anonymous \r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Install CS 1.6 in a folder named\u00a0“27020”.<\/strong>\u00a0The folder is named as the port that the server will run on. Steam uses the application ID of 90 for CS 1.6.<\/p>\n
force_install_dir .\/27020\/\r\napp_set_config 90 mod cstrike\r\napp_update 90 validate\r\napp_update 90 -beta beta validate\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Quit SteamCMD.<\/p>\n
exit\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now, try starting your\u00a0Counter Strike 1.6<\/strong>\u00a0server.<\/p>\n
cd 27020\u200b\r\n.\/hlds_run -console -game cstrike +port 27020 +de_dust2 +maxplayers 32 -pingboost 1\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
At this point, the server will start and you can connect to it with your game client.
