## Accessing the Console
|
|
- Use the following URIs on a browser or a file manager to open GUI client with the console:
|
|
- `steam://nav/console`
|
|
- `steam://open/console`
|
|
- will not work if the Steam client is running in the background
|
|
- The `-console` flag can be used with the client executable
|
|
- Alternatively, SteamCMD, a command-line only version of the Steam client, can be used

## Downloading Older Depots
|
|
|
|
Download a single depot (used to download older versions of applications/games):
|
|
```
|
|
download_depot <appid> <depotid> [<target manifestid>] [<delta manifestid>] [<depot flags filter>]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/) can be used to find the required argument values.
