Launch minetest, and click on the local game tab, it’s the default, so it’s probably already selected.
#MINETEST FOR LINUX MINT HOW TO#
Now that we have one of each of these resources let’s look at how to use them in the game. We don’t need to ever rename texture packs, but you can if you’d like. Download and extract into the Textures folder. Installing texture packs isn’t that different, again we’ll look on the forums and select something, this time summerfields.
#MINETEST FOR LINUX MINT MOD#
The mod topic will always have the proper name for the mod in the last set of brackets. Some mods may require you to rename the folder, this particular mod doesn’t, because it has a configuration file with the mods name, but if you ever get an error about a mod failing to load because of disallowed characters, there is a good chance the folder needs to be renamed.
#MINETEST FOR LINUX MINT ZIP FILE#
We’ll download the zip file again, as we did for the game, and extract that into the mods folder in our Minetest directory. The process is much the same for downloading and installing mods, I’ll be downloading my Drinks mod. You don’t need to rename the directory, as the engine reads the game’s name from a configuration file.

If you don’t see the directory you likely have hidden files not shown, you can show them with Ctrl +H. Once the file is downloaded extract it into the games directory located in /home/username/.minetest. Usually on any topic the downloads will be in the first post. Mods, games, and Texture packs can all be downloaded from the forums, I’ll pick some totally random ones, but you should browse around and find some to try out for yourself.įor the game I’ll be downloading and installing Survival which is an incomplete game I started. We’ll just download the zip file for now, you’ll find it here, at the bottom of the first post. Once that is completed you can launch minetest by opening the menu and clicking on Minetest.
#MINETEST FOR LINUX MINT INSTALL#
Once completed you can install Minetest by typing sudo apt-get install minetest. Your system will check for updates and new software. A few things will print out in the terminal and then we'll want to type in sudo apt-get update. Of course we want to add it, so we'll hit enter. We'll get a prompt to endter out password, and once we successfully do that, it will give us a bit of information about the PPA and let us accept or decline adding it with Enter or Ctrl+C. We'll open a terminal, Ctrl + Alt + T, and type in sudo add-apt-repository ppa:minetestdevs/stable. I'm going to use the PPA to get the latest stable version, you could also use the daily unstable build, but at times it does get unstable, so it's probably best to stick with stable unless you know what you're doing, and at that point you may as well be compiling from source yourself. The only guaranteed clean versions of Minetest will be found on. And source code is all available so if you have a different system you can compile your own build.īe sure you download Minetest only from, there are rogue versions of Minetest being distributed that include ads, force you to pay for privs, or even log all chat messages on servers and send them to somebody.I’ll be showing all this on Linux Mint in this video, if you’re using Windows please check out the Windows version of this lesson.

That sounds most likely.In this lesson we’ll be looking at how to download and install Minetest, Mods, Texture Packs, and games.
#MINETEST FOR LINUX MINT UPDATE#
Which would mean: if you have this error, just try again, and sudo apt-get update might not change anything, then. The whole idea abobe is likely just a placebo since this answer to the same error, but in another context says that this can appear when the address is just busy. Most likely: server is just busy, try again Gpg: keyserver receive failed: Cannot assign requested addressĮRROR: Service 'listener' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c apt-key adv -keyserver hkp://ha.:80 -recv-key C1CF6E31E6' returned a non-zero code: 2
