# buildmachine exclusive steam user:

go on a linux x86 machine:

```
mkdir ~/Steam && cd ~/Steam
curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz" | tar zxvf -
chmod +x ~/Steam/
~/Steam/steamcmd.sh +help +quit
```

now we have to login with out ci account:

```
~/Steam/steamcmd.sh +login USERNAME +quit
```

If succesfull this creates `~/Steam/config/config.vdf`.

On a mac:
```
cat config.vdf | gzip | base64 | pbcopy
```

The gzipped and base64 encoded file is now in the clipboard and ready to be put into a CI secret.
