That has nothing to do with setting up the server.. there are multiple ways to compile or obtain a pre-compiled binary depending on what package manager you're using on which distro.

Hello all :) my first post here...

I would like to correct one thing -
install-cspromod.sh script will not work correctly if you are skipping step 1


#!/bin/bash
echo "Welcome. This will install CS:Promod Server For You"
echo "Downloading Primary Server Software"
wget http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
echo "... Complete"
echo "Extracting Bin Tool"
./hldsupdatetool.bin
echo "... Complete"
echo "Removing .bin file"
rm -rf hldsupdatetool.bin
echo "... Complete"
echo "Update Steam Installer"
./steam
echo "... Complete"
echo "Install Counter-Strike Source Base"
./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir .
echo "... Complete"
echo "Verifying Counter-Strike Souce Base"
./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . -verify_all
echo "... Complete"
echo "Downloading CS:Promod Files"
wget http://cspd1.divo.net/cspromod_b104.zip
echo "... Complete"
echo "Extracting CS:Promod Files"
unzip cspromod_b104.zip
echo "... Complete"
echo "Cleaning Up CS:Promod Files"
rm -rf cspromod_b104.zip
echo "... Complete"
echo "Command Options for Running Server"
echo "./srcds_run -console -game cspromod +map csp_dust2 -maxplayers 24 -autoupdate -tickrate 100"
echo "./srcds_run -console -game cspromod +ip 0.0.0.0 -port 27015 +map csp_dust2 -maxplayers 24 -autoupdate -tickrate 100"
echo "... SCRIPT COMPLETE"
echo "Its All Yours Now!"

Here is the correct script if you wanna use it and you don't want to create a new user for CSPromod server, but i really recommend you do.

So the thing is that ~/ in steam update line basicly looks for a game in user home directory (for testuser - directory is /home/testuser/ and for root directory is just / ). So you need to put . and not ~/ if you want to Steam to update the directory you are currently in with SSH.

Hope that helps :) cheers!

Hey guys,
I've got a problem.
If I use the following commands to start the server:

./srcds_run -console -game cspromod +map csp_dust2 -maxplayers 24 -autoupdate -tickrate 100

I get

Invalid game type 'cspromod' sepecified.
Wed Feb 17 19:29:00 UTC 2010: Server Failed

Anyone knows how I can get it work?

Thank you for your attention.

This is also old (even from before the 1.04 hotfix). See http://wiki.cspromod.com/Install#Linux_Server_Setup for reference.
