wget http://steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin
type yes
./steam (twice)
./steam -command update -game tf -dir .

Starting

cd orangebox
./srcds_run -game tf -autoupdate -tickrate 66 -maxplayers 24 +map cp_badlands

Tips

  1. The Dedicated Server does not need superuser (root) privileges to install or run. Consider setting up a separate user account for the Dedicated Server (eg. hlds).
  2. If your server is running a 64-bit (AMD64) Linux OS, you might need to install some packages for 32-bit binary compatibility. Under Debian, a simple sudo aptitude install ia32-libs should do the trick.
  3. server.cfg goes in orangebox/tf/cfg. For more information on configuring your dedicated server, see Dedicated server configuration.
  4. Remember to open ports 27000-27015 from your firewall, if you have one.
