Need help installing CS:GO files on VDS

Post by ren3gade »

What do i need to do to get all of the CS:GO files installed on my VDS so i can have a CS:GO server up and running?

I tried following valves instructions, but they suck and i dont understand them.

Thanks,

SteamCMD is a bit of a PITA, but the instructions should work. What step is tripping you up?

I am stuck on this.. i dont understand it?

2. Start SteamCMD. At the Steam> prompt, set your CS:GO Dedicated Server install directory.
Bug: On some Linux distributions the path cannot contain any capital letters
Examples:
Windows:
force_install_dir c:\csgo-ds\
force_install_dir .\csgo-ds\
Linux:
force_install_dir /full/path/to/csgo-ds/

It is saying that you need to run the steamcmd.exe program, which will then present you a prompt. At that prompt, you need to type something like "force_install_dir .\csgo-ds\" before the other lines that it gives you.
