Steamcmd and debian, steamcmd not found

[Mikael]

I had followed the instructions for a debian install here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

After installing as root I changed user to my steam account.

I attempt to run it and get this in return:
bash: steamcmd: command not found

You have no idea how long I've been trying to get this working,
running debian 10 buster 32 bit (because even after I installed the 32 bit libraries and dependancies on 64 bit it still failed to run).

I'm at my wits end here, what is valves official install instructions missing? Why is this so much more difficult than literally installing anything else?

[[ASD]travis79]

did you install from repositories, or manually?

~Travis

[Mikael]

From repositories, added non-free to sources list. Etc.

I decided to just completely wipe and re-install.

I was able to get it running, I followed the steps exactly. I'm assuming I've missed a step but this is the third time I'm doing this, so not sure where I went wrong.

However there is another hoop to jump through, trying to login to the new steam account I made gives this output:
../common/friendsuihelpers.cpp (54) : Assertion Failed: Is64BitOS()

Googling this seems to be an issue related to steam, not steamcmd. So I'm not sure what's going on now.

[[ASD]travis79]

Hmm... haven't seen that error.

gonna jump out on a limb here, some games (like TF2) accept an anonymous login. have you tried logging into Steam "login anonymous"?

~Travis

[Mikael]

Yes I did try that before.

However trying to install returned:

ERROR! Failed to install app '302550' (No subscription)

So I assumed I needed an actual steam account to get the files.

EDIT/ Just tried anonymous agian, same result.

Steam>login anonymous

Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...Logged in OK
Waiting for user info...OK

Steam>force_install_dir ./home/steam/ac/

Steam>app_update 302550
ERROR! Failed to install app '302550' (No subscription)

EDIT//

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dedicated_Servers_List

Lists Assetto Corsa as not being anonymous login. Which makes sense, it's not a free game afterall.

[[ASD]travis79]

don't know if this will be of some help, or not. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#ERROR.21_Failed_to_install_app_.27xxxxxx.27_.28No_subscription.29

There doesn't seem to be anything there that can help but I installed the packages anyways.

Full login output:

It looks like I am in fact getting logged in, however still getting this output about a failed assertion.

[[ASD]travis79]

looks like it is hanging up when trying to load the friends user interface helper... i am wondering if it is an issue with the repository steam. i did the manual install, without too many issues. though it was a different breed of Linux (shouldn't make a huge difference).

not saying you have to, though. if someone else here has a better idea, feel free to chime in.

I've written a script to install CS:S on a Debian Buster not long ago, which should completely automate the process of getting one up and running with only basic questions. You might find it helpful, there's a thread around somewhere.

By the way: 32bit systems are hell. Stick to 64bit and co-install the 32bit architecture on top. Will save you a lot of problems regarding memory, if you decide to use more of it one day.

I ended up completely deleting my VM and just starting from scratch.

64bit with the drivers, followed the instructions again and it worked.

I have no idea where I went wrong. But I'm about to do it again for an Ark server now so if anything changes I'll be back.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I don't see any errors here - would you please elaborate?

This is a crosspost from another thread. Please refrain from answering here.

Switching from root/user to the user with steam using "sudo -u steam -s" causes:

"bash: steamcmd: command not found"

I just got around it by opening a remote new terminal logged in as the steam account instead of switching users in the terminal itself.

When logged in this way, you don't see the normal "steamuser@computername:" at the beginning of every line, but instead you only get a "$" symbol

Have you ever worked with Linux before or are you a complete newbie?
