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​

    Launch Command Prompt from the Start Menu.

  2. Install WSL:

    wsl --install

  3. Close CMD.

  4. Download Required Binaries:

  5. Open WSL.

  6. 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

  7. 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. 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_*.so 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:
