# steamguard-cli A linux utility for setting up and using Steam Mobile Authenticator (AKA Steam 2FA) on the command line. **This utility is in beta.** **We are in the process of rewriting steamguard-cli from scratch in Rust.** Any help would be greatly appreciated! See #55 for discussion. The instructions in this document refer to the C# version. # Disclaimer **Use this software at your own risk.** # Prerequisites These packages are required to build and run steamguard-cli. * mono-complete * nuget * make # Building Downloading as .zip will not work because submodules are used. You must clone the repository. ## Linux Building on Linux is very simple. Make sure you have all the prerequisites listed above. git clone --recursive https://github.com/dyc3/steamguard-cli.git cd steamguard-cli make To run the current build: build/steamguard To run the current build quickly: make run ## macOS Building on macOS is pretty simple. Make sure you have all the prerequisites listed above. * For the prerequisites the easiest way to install them is to use [homebrew](https://brew.sh/): brew update brew install mono brew install nuget * For the application source code: git clone --recursive https://github.com/dyc3/steamguard-cli.git cd steamguard-cli make -f makefile.macos To run the current build: mono build/steamguard To run the current build quickly: make -f makefile.macos run To install run: make -f makefile.macos install ## Windows Coming soon... # Installation To install the latest version on Debian-based systems, download the package from the releases section and type sudo dpkg --install steamguard-cli_x.x.x.x-x.deb For Archlinux, install [steamguard-cli-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steamguard-cli-git/) from the AUR.
