Linux commands to install a CounterStrike Linux Server

Step 1
We need the hldsupdatetool (Half Life Dedicated Server Update Tool).
Command:
1 | wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin |
Output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | --2008-11-11 09:14:51-- http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin Resolving storefront.steampowered.com... 87.248.218.141, 87.248.218.161 Connecting to storefront.steampowered.com|87.248.218.141|:80... connected.

Step 2
Now we have to grand the owner of the file read/write/execute (rwx) permission.
Command:
1 | chmod u+x hldsupdatetool.bin |
Output:
1 | None |
Step 3
The time has come to run the hldsupdatetool.bin
Command:
1 | ./hldsupdatetool.bin |
Output:
1 | ...I hereby agree to be bound by the Agreement. I also acknowledge and agree that this Agreement (including the Subscription Terms, Steam Online Conduct rules and other Rules of Use, and Privacy Policy) is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between Valve and me, and that the Agreement supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement, or other communications, whether oral or written, between Valve and myself. |
Enter ‘yes’ to accept this agreement, ‘no’ to decline:
Step 4
You have to accept the agreement with writing and confirming the word “yes”
Command:
1 | yes (return) |
Output:
1 | extracting steam.tar.Z...done |
Step 5
Finally we can start to install the actual CounterStrike Source Linux Server.
Command:
1 | ./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . |
Output:
1 2 3 4 | Checking bootstrapper version ... Getting version 34 of Steam HLDS Update Tool Downloading. . . . . . . . . . . Steam Linux Client updated, please retry the command |
Step 6
The fifth command once again… this last command will take a while to execute… depending on your Internet bandwith.
Command:
1 | ./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . |
Output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 | Checking bootstrapper version ... Getting version 34 of Steam HLDS Update Tool Downloading. . . . . . . . . . .

Thats it… the server is now installed.
So long,
