Veloren is an exciting open-world, open-source voxel RPG game that can be downloaded from the Veloren website https://veloren.net/. The game is compatible with most Linux distributions, including Linux Mint. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Veloren on your Linux Mint latest edition.
Before installing Veloren on your Linux Mint operating system, you need to ensure that you have Git, Rust, and Cargo installed on your system. If you don't have them installed, you can install them using the following commands in your terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
The above command will also install the Cargo package manager as part of Rust tooling.
Once you have installed git, Rust, and Cargo, you can proceed to download Veloren from the Git repository by running the following command:
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren.git
Next, navigate to the directory containing the cloned repository and switch to the latest release branch by running the following command:
$ cd veloren
$ git checkout 0.10.0
Once you have switched the release branch, you can run the following Cargo command to build and compile the Veloren project:
$ cargo build --release
The above command may take some time to complete since it involves downloading and installing multiple packages and dependencies required to build the game.
Once the build process is complete, you can run the game by running the following command:
$ ./target/release/veloren
Veloren should now launch and be ready to play!
You have now successfully installed Veloren on your Linux Mint operating system. You can enjoy the game and explore its vast open world environment. If you encounter any issues during the installation using the above steps, you can consult the official Veloren website for further assistance.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
