i was reading this tutorial and everything smoothly when i tried to enter

Code:

./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

the tutorial didnt tell me to create a directory called srcds_run. so i tried it anyways, and it didnt work. what am i supposed to do? it doesnt make sense, im lost o.O. how do i get the server to run?


Thanks

Uum how confident are you with Linux? If you have never used it then you might be better off using Windows.

The srcds_run is the executable file you run to launch the server, you need to be in the directory you installed the server in.

Type in ls - LS but lower caps in the directory your in to see what files there are.

Have you set chmod +x on srcds_run

that makes it executable. Cant remember off the top of my head if that is necesary or not
