Before running TF2CDownloader, ensure that you have at least 15GB of free space on the drive that you're running it on, otherwise the process may fail. | |||
''' | '''On Windows''', you can run it by simply double-clicking the file after it finishes downloading. It should open up a small window where you can type answers to its questions. | ||
'''On Linux''', you must run it from the terminal. Right-click in your sourcemods folder after moving it, click "Open in Terminal", then run <code>chmod +x ./TF2CDownloaderLinux</code> followed by <code>./TF2CDownloaderLinux</code> and let it run. | |||
When you first launch it, it'll attempt to autodetect your sourcemods folder. You should accept this. If you absolutely need to put it on a different drive, [[Troubleshooting#Creating_a_symlink_on_Windows|create a symlink!]] | |||
After it begins downloading, you must wait until it says "The installation has successfully completed" for your game to be playable. Closing the window or cancelling it early will leave your game in an inconsistent state. If this happens accidentally, you can simply run the application again and it should resume its progress. | |||
When it finishes, you should have a "tf2classic" folder inside of your sourcemods folder containing the game files. | |||
