==Install Game==
After hlds has updated you need to decide what game you want to install. For this how to I will just be installing a normal Half-Life server, but you are free to install a cstrike or czero etc... server if you so desire.
To update the server, issue the following command: <pre>./steam -command update -game valve -dir /home/hlds</pre> This will tell hlds to get all the files required for a normal Half-Life server. If you want to have a counterstrike server, all you need to do is change the -game valve to -game cstrike Or if you want condition zero: -game czero I don't know the commands for any other games, but they should be fairly easy to find using google.
Getting the game files '''may take some time''', but after hlds has downloaded them, you'll be back at the prompt.
==Start Server==
Before we start our server, we need to issue the following command: <pre>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/hlds:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH</pre>
Now we can start our server. Use the following command to start your server. If you are running a different game or don't like the command I'm using, feel free to change it to suit your needs. <pre>./hlds_run -game valve +map crossfire +maxplayers 4 +port 27015</pre>
Hopefully your server has started. If it has, you can go on to customizing it!
