The Almost As Easy Method:

If you need the standard Steam DLCs, get the all in one download above. Launch the game by pressing the green Play button on the bottom right corner or the updater.

Notes

If you get a 0xc000007b and/or a d3dx0_40.dll, open the Redist folder and run vc_redist.exe then go to your Directx folder and scroll down until you see DXSETUP.exe and run it. If you don't have this folder, you need to download the DirectX updater from Microsoft. If you have a black screen issue, try this BlackScreenFix.bat file and run it on your game folder. (You only need to run that once and should save on your game config until you delete the players folder.) If you get a Fatal Error, read the following note.

Custom Maps (Optional)
