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"
