Ok So i have tried everything and I do not get what I am doing wrong, I am fairly new to Linux but know everything i should need to, So I am following the guide step by step and i download the installer extract the packages and everything is all fine, But when I try to run ./steamcmd.sh it says that there is no certain directory, can someone just point me in the right direction on what I must do, You help would be amazing. I have provided some screenshots of the server as to what i am talking about. As the Title says i am runnung Ubuntu version 14.04 64 bit.

You're doing some odd things in there. You should know that "~" expands into the current user's directory (in this case:[I] /home/blue[/I])
It seems as though you wanted to create another user named "steam", but instead just created another home folder inside of your home folder, and put a folder named steam inside of it.
That's why [I]cd /home/steam/steamcmd[/I] doesn't work, because it's actually inside of [I]~/home/steam/steamcmd[/I] aka [I]/home/blue/home/steam/steamcmd[/I]. May I recommend either making a new unprivileged user named steam, or just making a steamcmd folder in your blue account's home folder.
When you extract the tar, I'm not sure how the tar is extracted. It could be being placed inside a folder named steamcmd_linux for all we know. You should examine the folder contents closely with "ls" to find the exact location of the executable.
Also before you run the executable, you'll need to give it the executable bit with [I]chmod +x steamcmd.sh[/I]
Also before you do any of the above, you may want to familiarize yourself on how to navigate the filesystem with ls and cd.

Feel free to add me on steam if you need help. It's not hard to get steamcmd working, it just takes some background knowledge that most new users don't have.
