Thanks to SevenSidedDie, I now know how to create symbolic links on a Mac! :) The command is:Īs pointed out, some programs wont follow symbolic links, but I've never had a problem doing this for Steam on Windows. Just remember to create Directory links for entire directories, and File links for individual files. Power-on/restart Mac, begin to press the option key (or alt if using non-apple keyboard) A boot menu should load, choose EFI. First, we need to download the Debian package for Steam. Extract SteamOSInstaller.zip onto USB drive. Start the software on the client computer and connect to the shared device. On the left side, find the Steam Play option, click and check on the corresponding boxes. Connect via USB cable to PC or Mac to use the scale with popular online. On the top left, click on Steam and then on Settings.
#Install steam client on usb for mac install#
Install Steam on your Linux computer and log in with your account. This process is relatively simple as the package that we will be downloading does most of the work for us. Here are the steps of how to apply Steam Play. Again I don't know if that is different for macs.
Other than that, the windows version only downloads around 40GB but needs about 120GB during the installation, and 100GB after. There you can add your storage device and download it directly there (no idea if that works on macs). Here is an answer I posted about creating symbolic links in Windows: Team Fortress 2 won't install on custom location. With our Raspberry Pi now nicely prepared, we can proceed to download and install the Steam client. In Settings > Downloads you can set up multiple Steam libraries there. GCF files in the main directory (I can't remember what they're called off the top of my head, I will have a look when I get home, otherwise feel free to edit them in!) The Game's directory in the steamapps folder.You will need to create symbolic links to a for Mac) differ greatly (and are written differently, so you can't just change the extension and hope for the best).Īssuming Steam doesn't remove the Windows executables when you verify game cache on the Mac side (as SevenSidedDie fears), then theoretically you could get away with installing Steam (just Steam!) on the Mac side of things, and creating symbolic links to the files and folders that you need. The drive is formatted in a format that Windows doesn't recognize.
If it does, pull all the data off onto a USB drive formatted as exFAT or FAT32, to go between PC and Mac. A lot of the files, such as assets (images, textures, models), config files etc, are shared between Windows & Mac - They are the same files and can be used on both Windows and Mac without problems as proved here:ĭo Mac and Windows versions of Source games contain the exact same files?. Easiest probably would be to just plug it back into a Mac, and see if it reads there.
