This guide will explain you how to run Counter strike server on linux
Linux can reduce lag,handle high rates & pingboost the server.
I assume you have some knowledge of linux & have uncompress installed
Open console
Type following
—————–
mkdir HLDS
cd HLDS
wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin
———————–
After we launch hldsupdatetool.bin ,it will ask to agree with terms & conditions,just type YES & press ENTER
then type this
———————
chmod +x steam
./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir .
————————
Counter strike server is being installed

It will take sometime depending on your connection as it has to download ~300mb
When is server downloaded.you should launch it with these parameters
-console
Starts server in console mode
-autoupdate
Automatically update the server when Steam updates are released
-game
The HLDS mod you want to run
+maxplayers
Amount of players to allow
+map
-port
Type this in console to run server in background
./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 20 +map de_aztec > /dev/null 2>&1 &
You can change the appropriate parameter like players & map
“> /dev/null is” at the end will send no output
“&” at the will run server in background
NOTE: To boost server performance,you can pingboost server. Add -pingboost 1 or 2 or 3 in command line.
