Did you re-run the install command continuously until it stopped downloading files? Did you do anything else to the server before running it?

The commands you used (both for install and for starting it) could be useful to see if you made a mistake there after checking the above things.

I did spam entry the command till it fully downloaded, I didnt do anything to the server before running it. I got it sorted for cstrike and hldm, but i have to run this exact entry "./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 16 +map op_desert" otherwise it will throw a segmentation error, if i ran"./hlds_run -game cstrike +exec server.cfg" or "./hlds_run -game cstrike" it won't work.

And if I tried to start a server for this one mod called "The Opera" it will throw this error

ok but steamcmd usually has to be run about three times to complete its installation more or less...

I did all of that... have a look

This is no longer true. If anything he needs to append and sign into the steamcmd as you can't download valve/cs/cz/tfc on anonymous anymore

You're sure? then they haven't updated this guide https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
Will make sure to try it as soon as i get home

find -name steamclient.so "./.steam/steamcmd/linux64/steamclient.so ./.steam/steamcmd/linux32/steamclient.so ./officialhlds/linux64/steamclient.so ./officialhlds/steamclient.so"

Why some people got an SDK32 folder and I don't? I created it manually and applied this symlink "ln -s steamcmd/linux32/steamclient.so ~/.steam/sdk32/steamclient.so" but nothing works

What part are you asking if I am sure?
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.

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.

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.

I downloaded both the current version and the steam_legacy version of "cstrike" anonymously.
