get your Debian to Stretch

Please be careful, if at your time of reading "Stretch" is not any longer the current version.


I am doing this with Debian 9 "Stretch", so if you are using an older version, you "can" try the following to upgrade:

  • make your system current:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
  • edit /etc/apt/sources.list
    • replace all occurrences of "jessie" or whatever with "stretch"
    • add "non-free" behind main, example:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free
  • do the upgrade to the new version
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
shutdown -r now

install steamcmd

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install lib32gcc1
apt-get install steamcmd

Info: I did not see steamcmd via "apt-cache search" until I added i386 AND did the "apt-get update"

login to the steam server

Now you switch to a normal user, someone who is not root.

steamcmd
>Steam login <YourServerAccountName>
