 At this time it will download all the ArmA 2 game files for you.
+After the download is complete, you can safely delete these following files, here is our current delete command line:

+rm readme*txt
+rm bis.url
+rm changelog.txt
+rm arma2.changelog109
+rm arma2oa_manual.pdf

+rm arma2oa_update_163_readme.txt
+rm directx/ -rf
+rm dlcsetup/ -rf
+rm 339*_install.vdf

 Then download the ArmA 2 linux dedicated server package from bis, unpack it to your server directory.
+At the moment of writing / updating this tutorial, the latest ArmA 2 Linux binary can be found from bis forums ARMA-2-Operation-Arrowhead-Linux-Server-beta-1-63-126652 topic.
 Please note that you have now downloaded the Windows files into your Linux shell, they are not lowercase as they need to be so use "tolower" script found in the ArmA 2 linux dedicated server package you downloaded from bis pages.

+====== ArmA 2 SteamCMD Validate ======
+<code>
+// arma2 (notice that 33900 app_id does NOT work!)
+app_update 33910
+// arma2 OA
+app_update 33930
+</code>
+Validate parameter:
+<code>
+// arma2 (notice that 33900 app_id does NOT work!)
+app_update 33910 validate
+// arma2 OA
+app_update 33930 validate
+</code>
+Validate parameter checks all the files in your ArmA 2 installation for errors, if it finds any it will download and fix them. Validate option takes some time to process, if you are in hurry or just generally don't break your installations, you can lave out validate parameter.
