Just somewhere that isn't where the Steam client stores its files. I use ~/games/servers/hlds. Never do anything with the "root" user for a game server.

./officialhlds/linux64/steamclient.so
./officialhlds/steamclient.so"
I'm not sure what you're looking for. Just install the server via SteamCMD in a new location not anywhere near the Steam files.

Since around before they released the half-life 25th anniversary, it was required to have an account that had the game to download it via steamcmd. Won't work any other way.

There is also a steam_legacy branch which downloads the older version of cs/valve/etc. whereas the regular build downloads the post 25th anniversary.
I downloaded both the current version and the steam_legacy version of "cstrike" anonymously.
