 * 5) Navigate to General tab
 * 6) Click Set Launch Options...
 * 7) Enter -console in the text field
 * 8) Run Dota 2
 * 9) Hit the console hotkey (Default is \)

An alternative way:


 * 1) Open the file: {Steam folder}\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg\config.cfg with any text editor like Notepad
 * 2) Add the following: con_enable 1
 * 3) Launch Dota 2
 * 4) Hit the console hotkey (Default is \)

Using the console
You can find a list of console commands here. However, editing commands in console will not be saved, so you have to edit it everytime, when you launch game. You can make file autoexec.cfg in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg and there add commands.
