Install on Linux (e.g. WSL)

The standalone radar is available for Linux systems and is designed to run in a virtual machine (VM) hosted on Windows using Zenith.

warning

Valthrun only supports Counter-Strike 2 on Windows. Running the radar on Linux is intended solely for use with Zenith in a VM!

TL;DR Installation Steps​

  1. Open CMD (on Windows):
    Launch Command Prompt from the Start Menu.

  2. Install WSL:

    wsl --install

  3. Close CMD.

  4. Download Required Binaries:

  5. Open WSL.

  6. Navigate to your Linux home directory:

    cd ~

  7. Move and Rename Binaries:
    Replace <username> with your actual Windows username and [...] with the correct version hash from the filenames.

    mv /mnt/c/Users/<username>/Downloads/driver_interface_zenith_[...].so libdriver.so
    mv /mnt/c/Users/<username>/Downloads/cs2_radar_client_[...].so radar

  8. Run the Radar:

    ./radar

Installation​

1. Enable and Install WSL on Windows​

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.

  2. Run the following command to install WSL and the default Ubuntu distro:

    wsl --install

  3. Reboot your machine if prompted.

  4. Once rebooted, allow Ubuntu (or your chosen distro) to finish setting up. You will be prompted to create a Linux username and password—choose anything you like.

2. Download Required Radar Files​

  1. Open a browser on Windows and download the following two files:

  2. These will be saved in your default Windows Downloads folder, e.g.,
    C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Downloads\

3. Move and Rename Files in WSL​

  1. Open WSL (Ubuntu) via the Start Menu or terminal.

  2. Navigate to your Linux home directory:

    cd ~
    Important

    You must be in your Linux home directory (not in /mnt/c/) before moving the files. If you move the files while in the Windows mount directory, they will remain on the Windows filesystem. Running the binaries from the Windows filesystem will trigger anti-cheat detection by Windows filesystem filters.

  3. Move and rename the downloaded files from the Windows filesystem into your Linux environment.

    Replace <YourUsername> with your actual Windows username, and update the filenames to match the version you downloaded (e.g., driver_interface_zenith_ab12cd34ef.so):

    mv /mnt/c/Users/<YourUsername>/Downloads/driver_interface_zenith_*.so libdriver.so
    mv /mnt/c/Users/<YourUsername>/Downloads/cs2_radar_client_* radar
    info

    The /mnt/c/... path gives WSL access to your Windows C: drive.

4. Run the Radar​

Finally, launch the radar client:

./radar

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the following message:
