User story

As a server admin, I want to set up a CS2 server

Game

CS2

Linux distro

AlmaLinux 9.3

Command

command: install

Further information

I am trying to install CS2 following the instructions from the website: https://linuxgsm.com/servers/cs2server/

I have put the username and pw inside lgsm/config-lgsm/cs2server/common.cfg.
My account is secured by SteamGuard with e-mail verification.

I am typing ./cs2server install according to the instructions.

The script checks all deps, which are OK, and then gets stuck on

[ START ] Installing cs2server: SteamCMD

This is stuck indefinitely.
I have found out that when I press enter I will get more output however:

[ START ] Installing cs2server: SteamCMD

tid(13313) burning pthread_key_t == 0 so we never use it
Redirecting stderr to '/home/cs2server/.local/share/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'
Logging directory: '/home/cs2server/.local/share/Steam/logs'
[  0%] Checking for available updates...

Loading Steam API...dlmopen steamservice.so failed: steamservice.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
OK
Logging in user 'myusername' to Steam Public...
This computer has not been authenticated for your account using Steam Guard.
Please check your email for the message from Steam, and enter the Steam Guard
 code from that message.
You can also enter this code at any time using 'set_steam_guard_code'
 at the console.
Steam Guard code:FAILED (Account Logon Denied)
Complete! Installing cs2server: SteamCMD
[ ERROR ] Installing cs2server: No appmanifest_730.acf found
[ INFO ] Installing cs2server: Forcing update to correct issue
[ START ] Installing cs2server: SteamCMD

Since nothing happens, and the script is stuck indefinitely I am pressing ENTER again and get:

tid(13355) burning pthread_key_t == 0 so we never use it
Redirecting stderr to '/home/cs2server/.local/share/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'
Logging directory: '/home/cs2server/.local/share/Steam/logs'

OK
Logging in user 'myusername' to Steam Public...
This computer has not been authenticated for your account using Steam Guard.
Please check your email for the message from Steam, and enter the Steam Guard
 code from that message.
You can also enter this code at any time using 'set_steam_guard_code'
 at the console.
Steam Guard code:FAILED (Account Logon Denied)
Complete! Installing cs2server: SteamCMD
[ FAIL ] Installing cs2server: Still no appmanifest_730.acf found

At that point the script exits.

The script makes me aware that I should use set_steam_guard_code to enter my email verification code, but that command does not seem to exist on my system or the information on how to use this command is unclear.

I assume the script is not supposed to get stuck in the first place? It seems to be a bug unless I am mistaken. At least I followed the instructions exactly but cannot get it up and running.

Relevant log output

Ok? I didn't know. Then documentation on https://linuxgsm.com/servers/cs2server/ install section should be updated to reflect that.
