== Prerequisites ==

* A dedicated server software key from Eminoma

* A Linux server running Ubuntu Server* on an amd64 CPU** with root access

* At least 25GB of free storage

Line 22:

**Architectures other than amd64 (including 32-bit x86) are not supported. Using an x86 compatibility layer like Box86 for another architecture may not work.

~~== Registering your dedicated server key ==~~

~~As of writing this TF2C is still in the prerelease phase. As such you'll need to get a key from the developers to run the server. This is separate from the game key for the client.~~

~~You can either register this using a dedicated Steam account (recommended for security reasons) or your own.~~

~~To register, go to Steam's library tab, click "Add a game" in the bottom left corner, and click "Activate a Product on Steam". You can enter your server key there, after which it will~~

~~be added to the signed in account's library.~~

== Preparing for install ==

Line 87:

Line 78:

Ensure you've quit SteamCMD before continuing.

~~We'll need to sign in to the Steam account which has access to the dedicated server using SteamCMD. This is done by using <code>login <steam account name></code>~~

instead of <code>login anonymous</code>. Remember to replace <code>glenda</code> here with your account name. Also ensure you have your Steam Guard ready as there's a timeout if you take too long to approve the login.
