Counter-Strike; Global Offensive is a multiplayer FPS developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment. In the game, players fight against each other to dismantle and plant bombs. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to play it on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"Counter-Strike:<\/p>\n

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, or \u201cCS: GO\u201d for short, is a native Linux game. Valve ported it around the same time they brought Steam to Linux. Since it is only on Steam, you can only play the game on your Linux PC via the Linux Steam app.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

As a result, we must walk you through how to set up the Steam for Linux client. To start, open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. When the terminal window is open, follow the installation instructions that correspond with the Linux OS you currently use.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

To get Steam working on Ubuntu, use the following Apt install<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working on Debian, start by downloading the latest DEB package from the Steam website. To do that, use the following wget<\/strong> download command down below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest Steam DEB package to your computer, you\u2019ll be able to install the Steam DEB package using the following dpkg<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Steam DEB package is installed on your Linux PC, it is time to correct any of the dependency issues on your system. To fix them, use the following apt-get install -f<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Steam is available on Arch Linux in the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To get it working, start by opening up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file in a text editor. Then, locate the \u201c#multilib\u201d line, and remove the # symbol from in front of it, as well as any lines directly below it.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve made the edits, save them. Then, use the pacman<\/strong> command below to re-sync with the Arch Linux repos. After that, install Steam with the second pacman<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora Linux, as well as OpenSUSE Linux, have the ability to get Steam installed out of the box with repositories included in them. However, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better, so we suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working via Flatpak, start by installing the latest release of the Flatpak runtime. You can install the runtime using your package manager. If you\u2019re having issues setting up the Flatpak runtime, follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, you\u2019ll be able to install Steam. To get the Steam client installed, enter the following commands below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install CS: GO on Linux\u00a0<\/h3>\n
With Steam installed, launch it on the desktop and log in using your user credentials. Then, follow the step-by-step instructions below to get CS: GO on Linux.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> To start the installation, open up the Steam Store. To open up the Steam store, find the \u201cStore\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. From there, click on the search button and type in \u201cCounter-Strike: Global Offensive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Press the Enter<\/strong> key to view the search results. Look through the results for \u201cCounter-Strike: Global Offensive.\u201d Then, click on it with the mouse to go to the game\u2019s store page.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> On the CS:GO Steam Store page, locate the green \u201cadd to cart\u201d button and click on it with the mouse to add it to your Steam cart. Once it is in the Steam cart, click on the cart icon in the top right-hand corner.<\/p>\n
Inside the Steam cart, purchase the game. When you purchase it, it\u2019ll be added to your game library. Then, click on the \u201cLibrary\u201d button to access your Steam gaming library.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> In your Steam gaming library, click on the search button, and type in \u201cCounter-Strike: Global Offensive.\u201d When you\u2019ve found it, click on it to view the game\u2019s Steam library page.<\/p>\n
Inside of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game page, there will be a blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button. Click on this blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button to start the download and installation for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive onto your Linux PC.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> The download could take a couple of minutes, as it is a decently sized game. When the process is complete, it will turn into a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Select the green \u201cPLAY\u201d button to start up the game.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Keep in mind, starting up Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for the first time could take a bit. Be patient. When it is open, you\u2019ll be ready to play! Happy gaming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
