Dedicated Servers Windows/Linux

How to install a Dedicated Server on Winows / Linux ?

Downloading and Running the SteamCMD Update Tool

1. Download the SteamCMD Update Tool:
   • Windows Installer
   • Linux Installer

Extract the contents to a directory (Windows example: C:\SteamCmd\).

Do not extract the contents of the updater tool to the regular Steam Client folder or to a folder that has the older HLDSUpdateTool program.

1. Download the SteamCMD Update Tool:

Open a command prompt in that directory and start SteamCmd

• • Windows: Type steamcmd
  • Linux: Type STEAMEXE=steamcmd ./steam.sh

  The program will automatically update and enter you in to a Steam> prompt. Type help for more information.

Log in with your Steam Account (old or dummy Account)

You must log out of the regular Steam client in order to properly log in to SteamCMD Update Tool

login username password

If you receive a Steam Guard error, check your e-mail for your access code and execute the following commands (you’ll only need to do this once):

set_steam_guard_code yourcodehere
login username password

You should see a message stating that you have successfully logged in with your account.

Downloading the CS:GO Dedicated Server

This describes the process of updating the CS:GO dedicated server application. These steps are required every time the game is updated. To make this process easier see #Scripting SteamCmd.

1. If you aren’t proceeding from the previous set of instructions, first launch SteamCmd.

2. At the Steam> prompt, set your CS:GO Dedicated Server install directory. Examples:

Absolute Path:

force_install_dir c:\csgo-ds\

Up one folder:

force_install_dir ..\csgo-ds\

Install or Update CS:GO.

If this is your first time installing or if you are trying to verify the integrity of the server files:

app_update 740 validate

If this is simply an update to an existing CS:GO dedicated server:
app_update 740

Once finished, type quit at the Steam> prompt to properly log off of the Steam servers.
