Some people say update the guide, well there is not much to update.
This is the basics.
Keep in mind it is recommended that you do NOT do this as root. Please create a normal user.
First off, get the steam binary.
then you need to make it an executable and then run it to extrct the steam binary by doing
Upon hitting enter, 1 of 2 things will happen. 1 will be that you can't find uncompress
then try doing
again.
once thats done you should now get the agreement.
when the agreement prints type in
next i recommend creating a directory, i normally use srcds or srcds_l
what that did was create your srcds directory and move the steam binary into it. now its time to run the binary.
This is the part where you install the game itself.
This example is for counter-strike: source.
Once you run that you should see something like
It'll now down load the files for counter-strike source which is roughly about 800MB so might as well make a sandwich or something.
Thats it, the rest is up to you. all you have to do is configure it, and configure your router if you're doing this from a LAN.
By default there is no server.cfg you must create this yourself. cstrike planet has a cfgmaker you can find here: http://www.cstrike-planet.com/cfgmaker?cfg=srcds
Its very easy to use, just fill in the values and click generate, copy the results and paste them intp server.cfg using your favorite editor. make sure the file is server.cfg and nothing like server.cfg.txt and place it in cstrike/cfg folder.
Sorry for not mentioning this earlier.

Quote:sh: uncompress: command not foundor you'll get the agreement. To fix the issue with uncompress, you can either install ncompress or you can try doing this
