=== Getting the Source SDK Beta ===
{{Important|[[File:Source SDK Launcher screenshot.png|120px|right|Screenshot of the now-deprecated "Source SDK" launcher.]] <big>If you see this page when you first open the "'''Source SDK'''" (AppID 211) launcher, please note that the standalone Source SDK tool/launcher is '''no longer updated''', and '''does not support {{src13|1}} and {{tf2branch|1}} games'''.</big></br>The deprecated Source SDK tools are provided to create content-based mods for {{src09|1}} or earlier, and to obtain source code & create or maintain legacy mods built on {{srcsdk06|1}} and {{srcsdk07|1}}.
To run this beta version you will need to add <code>-beta sdk0611</code> to your command line when you start Steam. This can be done by opening up the Windows shortcut you use to launch Steam and adding <code>-beta sdk0611</code> right after <code>Steam.exe</code>. Please report any issues you find [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/bugzilla in Bugzilla].
Many {{src13|1}} and {{tf2branch|1}} games are usually shipped with Source SDK preinstalled, located in the {{path|\bin}} folder. To launch the SDK applications ({{hammer|1}}, {{hlmv|1|linkto=source}}, etc...) manually on {{src13|1}} games, see the [[SDK Installation#Source 2013 (SteamPipe) & TF2 branch|SDK Installation - Source 2013 (SteamPipe) & TF2 branch]] section for a list of applications and their executables.

Screenshot of the now-deprecated "Source SDK" launcher.
If you see this page when you first open the "Source SDK" (AppID 211) launcher, please note that the standalone Source SDK tool/launcher is no longer updated, and does not support Source 2013 and Team Fortress 2 branch games.
The deprecated Source SDK tools are provided to create content-based mods for Source 2009 or earlier, and to obtain source code & create or maintain legacy mods built on Source SDK Base 2006 and Source SDK Base 2007.

Many Source 2013 and Team Fortress 2 branch games are usually shipped with Source SDK preinstalled, located in the 🖿\bin folder. To launch the SDK applications (Hammer, HLMV, etc...) manually on Source 2013 games, see the SDK Installation - Source 2013 (SteamPipe) & TF2 branch section for a list of applications and their executables.
