I run Linux (x64) RHEL 7 (CentOS 7) and all the installation does is this. I run it with this all in an SH:

#!/bin/bash

./Steam/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "/home/rust/rs" +app_update 258550 -beta experimental +quit

---------------Result of running SH--------------------------------------------

This all took about 3 seconds.

I ran it again:

The only folders in the install dir are: EmptySteamDepot and cc20e7b59b098936305108c297f2e19b9543113e (The downloading folder in side cc20e7b59b098936305108c297f2e19b9543113e is empty!)

Help!

This may be a silly question but why not use the GUI?

I have this same issue. In my case, I don't use a gui because it's a headless server.

Hello,

I have the exact same issue and it seems we are not alone : http://support.facepunchstudios.com/...lable-on-steam

It looks like the linux DS is no longer built in their releases. I guess there is a good reason for that and I really hope it's temporary.
Because you know, no sane sys admin would put Windows in a server.

Trolling aside, I'm ok to wait if their priority is to fix the fun killing bugs and exploits.

Linux server builds are stopped atm. You'll only get an empty.txt file containing the text: "empty".

You can still host with wine, i have an experimental server hosted with wine and it works well.
Though you might want latest wine dev version and a WoW64 shared version.

Rust DS well work on archlinux in wine. In cmd file for start DS need write for dev version:
+app_update 258550 -beta development +quit
or for stable:
+app_update 258550 +quit
