I'm trying to put up a CS:S(srcds) server, but when I use the given instructions, the terminal says that I don't have the permission to change it.

My account is an admin account right now. Can I give it the same privileges as root login? I want to go around the root login, and only use my admin account.

If you follow this guide: http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?id=1098643920

This guide should guide you through the installation part. You shouldn't have to install srcds as root.

(The chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin is the important part)

  • It wont give my account root privileges, but I guess it will help me install srcds. Mar 18, 2013 at 12:50
  • The guide is the correct way to install srcds. Installing and running as root is generally bad practice and should be avoided. Mar 18, 2013 at 12:52

    @EmanuelStröm there is more information about root privileges here. How to run as root and why is not normally a good idea. Mar 18, 2013 at 15:38
