In this tutorial we will install\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>.\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>\u00a0can be used to download and install a lot of Steam game servers, such as\u00a0Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO)<\/strong>,\u00a0ARK Survival Evolved<\/strong>, and\u00a0many<\/strong>\u00a0more. Some games require a paid subscription\/purchase before you can download their configuration files.<\/p>\n

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

\n
• A Server running CentOS 7 or Debian 8.<\/li>\n
• A user account for\u00a0steam<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Before We Begin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  One of the best practices when using Linux is to ensuring your server is always updated. Additionally, it is best for your security to create a user account on the server to run\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

  CentOS 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

  yum clean all\r\nyum update -y\r\nyum upgrade -y\r\nadduser steam\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Then we install the necessary libraries for SteamCMD:<\/p>\n
  yum install glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686 -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Ubuntu \/ Debian x64<\/strong><\/p>\n
  apt-get update -y\r\napt-get upgrade -y\r\nadduser steam\r\npasswd steam\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Then we install the necessary libraries for SteamCMD:<\/p>\n
  apt-get install lib32gcc1\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Let’s switch to the user we just created.<\/p>\n
  su -ls \/bin\/bash steam\r\ncd ~\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Download SteamCMD.<\/strong><\/p>\n
  wget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz\r\ntar xf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  The next step would be running SteamCMD. Once running, the Steam daemon will download and install all the necessary files.<\/p>\n
  .\/steamcmd.sh +quit\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Now SteamCMD is ready to download and install server files. Please note, if you have Steam Guard enabled, you have to check your email for the code to login.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[105,231,233],"manual_kb_tag":[174],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2228"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2228"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2228\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2229,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2228\/revisions\/2229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2228"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
