How to install Hextris on OpenSUSE Latest

Hextris is a free and open-source game similar to Tetris, but with hexagonal tiles instead of square ones. It is available on GitHub and can be installed on OpenSUSE Latest using the following steps:

Step 1: Install required packages

Before we can install Hextris, we need to ensure that our system has the required packages. Open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo zypper install git npm nodejs

This command installs the git, npm, and nodejs packages, which are needed to download and run Hextris.

Step 2: Download Hextris

Once the required packages are installed, we can download Hextris from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Hextris/hextris.git

This command downloads the Hextris repository to your current working directory.

Step 3: Install dependencies

Before we can run Hextris, we need to install its dependencies. Navigate to the Hextris directory and run the following command:

npm install

This command installs all the required dependencies for Hextris.

Step 4: Run Hextris

Once all the dependencies are installed, we can start Hextris. Run the following command:

Step 5: Build Hextris (Optional)

If you want to build Hextris for production, you can run the following command:
