1. Let's make a new folder for SteamCMD.
mkdir SteamCMD2. Let's move into that folder. All your dedicated server files will be stored in this directory.
cd SteamCMD3. If you're running a 64-bit version of linux, you'll have to install 32-bit libraries. If you own a 32-bit version, skip to step 4.
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs4. Let's download the SteamCMD update tool.
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz5. Once downloaded, extract the contents into the SteamCMD folder.
