The Steam Console Client or SteamCMD is a command-line version of the Steam client. Its primary use is to install and update various dedicated servers available on Steam using a command-line interface.

This section will help you install the SteamCMD application used to download the dedicated server.

1. Install pre-requisites:
   - This is for ubuntu/debian, please look up SteamCMD for your distro
   
   sudo apt-get install software-properties-common lib32gcc1
2. Create a non-admin user to install/update/run the server application
   
   sudo adduser steam
3. Switch to this new user
   
   su - steam
4. Create a directory for the SteamCMD client and enter it
   
   mkdir steamcmd cd steamcmd
5. Download the SteamCMD application
   
   wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
6. Extract the archive
   
   tar -zxvf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

Linux: Windows: (same commands if using SteamCMD, otherwise use the regular steam client) Login as anonymous (no password)

Run the GrappleServer.exe (or GrappleServer.sh) once, then kill the process.
After running the "GrappleServer.exe" for the first time, a new "Grapple/Saved/Config" directory will be created next to it.

Inside those folders, there is a "ServerSettings.ini"
Modify the settings as you see fit,
and put your own Steam ID 64 into the admin list.

Helpful server launch options

If you want to run the server headless on linux, i use this command:
Or if you already cd to the directory its in.
Both of these will null the log files & run it as a background process.
