How do I download steam?

I can't download steam into a reliable image on the dock.

Usually, it's just easiest to let CrossOver Games download Steam for you. Initiate CrossOver's Software Installer, select the "Steam via download" package from the list, ask CrossOver to create a new bottle for the installation, and just let it proceed through the steps. CrossOver will download and install some prerequisites and then Steam itself.

I'm not sure if you're using a Mac. Your mention of the dock suggests maybe you are, but the penguins you've chosen for an avatar suggest you're a Linux user. If you're on a Mac, after the Steam installation completes, CrossOver will create a launcher mini-application for Steam. By default, it will reveal this mini-application in the Finder. It's created in <your home folder>/Applications/CrossOver Games. You can drag it to the Dock, if you like.

Okay thanks you and I use a mac. I didn't know penguins represented linux I just like penguins :)

Heh. No problem. You should keep the penguins if you like them. It's not like a rule or anything. 😀
