cd ~/PalServer
./PalServer.sh

steamcmd +force_install_dir "/home/steam/PalServer" +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 validate +quit

Notes

Old Setup

Dumps it into steam/steamapps/common which is ugly

steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 validate +quit
cd ~/Steam/steamapps/common/PalServer
./PalServer.sh

steamcmd not in path

Steamcmd not in path by default (fixed above by adding to path):

Command 'steamcmd' is available in '/usr/games/steamcmd'
The command could not be located because '/usr/games' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
steamcmd: command not found
