A simple guide on how to install Metamod:Source on a Source2 dedicated server

Metamod is a mod loader with basic plugin API. It will not provide any functionality on its own.

Steps

  1. Download the latest dev build from the releases page
  2. Move the addons folder to your game/csgo folder
  3. Edit gameinfo.gi in game/csgo and add Game csgo/addons/metamod to the SearchPaths section
"GameInfo"
{
    game        "Counter-Strike 2"
    title       "Counter-Strike 2"
    title_pw    "E58F8DE68190E7B2BEE88BB1EFBC9AE585A8E79083E694BBE58ABF"

    LayeredOnMod    csgo_imported // Inherits the gameinfo.gi data from csgo_imported (which itself inherits from csgo_core)

    FileSystem
    {
        SearchPaths
        {
            Game_LowViolence    csgo_lv // Perfect World content override

+           Game    csgo/addons/metamod
            Game    csgo
            Game    csgo_imported
            Game    csgo_core
            Game    core
...

Whenever CS2 updates you need to edit the gameinfo.gi file again as it is replaced with each update.
