Rust DS won't install on Linux

[hiotewdew001]

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--------------------------------------------

Update state (0x3) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)
Success! App '258550' fully installed.

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 : [url]http://support.facepunchstudios.com/feedback/view/2410-linux-server-build-is-no-longer-available-on-steam[/url]

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.

EDIT: just found that : [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1414775[/url]

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
