In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Minetest, a free and open-source game similar to Minecraft, on OpenSUSE. Minetest is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
Before installing Minetest on OpenSUSE, you must have the following:
By default, Flathub, a popular flatpak repository, is not enabled on OpenSUSE. To enable it, run the following command in the terminal:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Once Flathub is enabled, you can now install Minetest using the following command:
flatpak install flathub net.minetest.Minetest
During the installation process, you may be prompted to confirm additional disk space and to agree to the Minetest EULA (End-User License Agreement).
After the installation has finished, you can launch Minetest in one of two ways:
Open the Applications Menu by clicking on the grid icon on the bottom left of the screen. In the search bar, type "Minetest". Click on the Minetest icon that appears to launch the game.
Alternatively, you can launch Minetest from the terminal by running the following command:
flatpak run net.minetest.Minetest
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Minetest on OpenSUSE. You can now explore and enjoy the game.
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!
