1. Install dependencies
bash
sudo apt update
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt install lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 steamcmd -y
# If steamcmd not in repository:
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt update && sudo apt install steamcmd -y
04
2. Create dedicated user
bash
sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash steam
sudo su - steam
05
3. Download server with SteamCMD
bash
mkdir -p ~/cs2-server
steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/cs2-server \
+login anonymous \
+app_update 730 validate \
+quit
The download is ~25 GB and may take time.

4. Startup script
bash
nano ~/cs2-server/start.sh
bash
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/cs2-server
./game/bin/linuxsteamrt64/cs2 \
-dedicated \
-usercon \
+game_type 0 \
+game_mode 0 \
+map de_dust2 \
+sv_setsteamaccount YOUR_GSLT_TOKEN \
+sv_lan 0 \
-port 27015 \
+maxplayers 10 \
-tickrate 128
bash
chmod +x ~/cs2-server/start.sh

5. Obtain the GSLT (Game Server Login Token)
The GSLT token is required for public servers:
- Go to steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers
- App ID: 730 (CS2)
- Create the token and paste it in +sv_setsteamaccount
08
6. Configuration (server.cfg)
bash
nano ~/cs2-server/game/csgo/cfg/server.cfg
hostname "My CS2 Server"
sv_password "" // leave empty for public server
sv_cheats 0
sv_lan 0
// RCON
rcon_password "yourrconpassword"
// Tick rate
sv_mincmdrate 128
sv_maxcmdrate 128
sv_minupdaterate 128
sv_maxupdaterate 128
// Rate
sv_maxrate 786432
sv_minrate 196608
// Deathmatch
// mp_autoteambalance 1
// mp_limitteams 2
// Competitive
// game_mode 1
// game_type 0

7. Open ports
bash
sudo ufw allow 27015/tcp
sudo ufw allow 27015/udp
sudo ufw allow 27020/udp # HLTV / SourceTV

Tips & Tweaks
Tickrate Configuration
Set tickrate in startup script with -tickrate:
bash
# 64-tick (casual, lower bandwidth)
-tickrate 64
# 128-tick (competitive, recommended for skilled players)
-tickrate 128
# 256-tick (premium servers, high bandwidth and CPU)
-tickrate 256
Rate settings for server.cfg:
ini
sv_mincmdrate 128 # Minimum client command rate
sv_maxcmdrate 128 # Match tickrate
sv_minupdaterate 128 # Server update frequency
sv_maxupdaterate 128
# Bandwidth limits
sv_maxrate 786432 # ~750 Kb/s per player (128-tick)
sv_minrate 196608 # ~190 Kb/s minimum
