How to open Steam via terminal?
Is there any terminal command to open Steam on Ubuntu 14.04 ? And if so, is there any command to open it's games, for example DOTA2?
Solution 1:
For launching games on Steam via command line, Steam used a URI-scheme for installing or launching games. You need to find out the 'appid' (application ID) for the game you are trying to launch (for example DOTA2 is 570) and execute a steam steam://run/[appid] command. (for example, using DOTA2, steam steam://run/570)
