You will have to find matching packages yourself.
Go into the cathook directory and run
./update
Run the update script in Cathook folder.
Cathook requires a special data folder (contains shaders, font files, walkbot paths, etc). This folder is located at /opt/cathook/data and is generated automatically when you compile Cathook.
sudo ./attach to attach Cathook into TF2. Optionally, you can provide a PID (for bots or other linux users).
sudo ./attach-gdb to attach and print backtrace in case TF2 crashes. Requires a debug Cathook build (run ./config to configure the build mode). Some users report that this causes FPS drop in-game. This is recommended if you want to grab a log of what went wrong if Cathook is crashing on you (report it!)
cathook-ipc-server allows you to run and control Followbots to do your evil bidding in-game. The installation for Followbots is quite complex, and will not be covered on this page. Obviously, you must have several user accounts ready to run TF2.
A guide for Followbots can be found here: How to setup and use followbots.
The installation script is as followed:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/nullworks/cathook-ipc-server && cd cathook-ipc-server && make -j4To run the Followbot server, run ./bin/cathook-ipc-server. You can also use ./bin/cathook-ipc-server &>/dev/null & to run it in background.
