Is it possible to install the Portal 2 Authoring Tools without having Portal 2 installed?


Otherwise, how could I fool Steam into thinking I have?


The reason I'm asking is that I have Portal 2 installed for Mac. However, I can also run Steam through Wine to play the games only available for Windows. I want to install the Portal 2 Authoring Tools on Wine Steam, but Steam wants me to download Portal 2.


Could I point Steam to my Mac version, or do I need the PC version for it to work?


Question from user Tyilo at stackexchange.


Answer:

If you have enough HD space you can just copy your portal 2 game folder from your pc onto your mac, at least it will save you the time downloading it.
