How do you get it running?

Requires Windows, Python 3.10+, and downloading around 30GB of CS2 game files via SteamCMD.

Use freely for any purpose, including commercial use, as long as you keep the copyright notice.

So what is it?

This tool automates the entire process of setting up a dedicated Counter-Strike 2 game server on Windows, a task the README describes as normally taking hours: downloading SteamCMD, installing around 30GB of game files, manually editing a configuration file, and unzipping plugins into exactly the right folders by hand. Run it once and it handles that whole pipeline. Run it again after an interruption and it detects which steps already finished and skips them instead of starting over. Before installing any plugin, the tool takes a full backup snapshot of the server's plugin folders. If a new plugin breaks the server, it can roll back to the last working state in under a second. It also writes a lock file that records the exact version and download link of every installed plugin, so you can recreate the identical server setup, byte for byte, on a different machine later. A feature the author calls Smart Unzip inspects each plugin's downloaded zip file before extracting anything, since different GitHub plugin releases package their files in different folder layouts. It figures out which layout it is dealing with and extracts it correctly without relying on assumptions that could break on a new plugin. There is also a built in RCON client, a standard way to remotely control a live game server, that lets you add admins, change the map, or kick and ban players without restarting anything. The installation itself runs through a numbered sequence of phases: collecting your server details, installing SteamCMD, installing the CS2 server files, installing two required modding frameworks, patching a configuration file, writing server config files, then installing whichever plugins you choose one at a time with backup and rollback around each one. The project requires Python 3.10 or newer and currently targets Windows only. It is released under the MIT license. The full README is longer than what was shown.
