Creating a CS:GO server without Steam is definitely not the official route, but here's a general idea: You'll need to download the CS:GO server files from a third-party site (be careful to choose a reputable one). Install the server by following the instructions provided on the site. After installation, configure the server settings to your liking by editing the server.cfg file. Remember, running a server like this may not give you or your players access to all the official content and features.

Made a non-Steam CS:GO server once. Big hassle, and you miss out on a lot. Would recommend sticking to the official ways for the best experience and support.

Don't. Just use Steam. It's safer, easier, and you get all the updates and support. Plus, setting up a server through SteamCMD is straightforward and legit. Why mess with a good thing?
