Assuming you have installed Steam-Boiler and have logged in to a normal user account. The following shell session demonstrates how a typical installation is accomplished. Open a shell terminal and follow these steps.
1. Make directory (if required) and change directory to where user gameserver downloads are to be stored. Here we call it ‘Gameserver’.
- $ mkdir -pv ~/Gameserver/tf-ds
- $ cd ~/Gameserver
[~]$ mkdir -pv ~/Gameserver/tf-ds
mkdir: created directory `/home/user/Gameserver'
mkdir: created directory `/home/user/Gameserver/tf-ds'
[~]$ cd ~/Gameserver
[Gameserver]$
- $ steam -command update -game tf -dir tf-ds
[Gameserver]$ steam -command update -game tf -dir tf-ds
+ ionice -c 3 steam -command update -game tf -dir /home/user/Gameserver/tf-ds/

Tip
Using Steam-Boiler simplifies the command-line to steam update tf tf-ds instead of steam -command update -game tf -dir tf-ds.
3. Change directory to where the run-script is located and test the dedicated server.
- $ cd ~/Gameserver/tf-ds/orangebox
- $ ./srcds_run -game tf +map tr_dustbowl +ip 0.0.0.0
[Gameserver]$ cd ~/Gameserver/tf-ds/orangebox
[orangebox]$ ./srcds_run -game tf +map tr_dustbowl +ip 0.0.0.0

Hint
srcds_run also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run ./srcds_run -help for more details. All command-line options are passed through to the gameserver binary. Server cvars are specified on the command-line using the notation +CVAR VALUE. (i.e. +map de_dust)
Important
The +IP specified is normally within the local network range 192.168.xxx.xxx for underground (cable/DSL) hosted servers or wildcard 0.0.0.0 for all available interfaces. (i.e. +ip 192.168.1.15)
