Running

Download the AppImages from the release page! Then, make the AppImage an executable by using chmod +x <file> in the terminal or by right-clicking the file then selecting "Properties" then "Permissions", and checking the executable checkbox. Double-click the AppImage to run Minetest.

The directory used by the Minetest AppImages is $HOME/.minetest/ so you may place your mods, games and texture packs in there.

Setting up Minetest globally

(i.e running minetest from the terminal with minetest-$VERSION)

First, rename the AppImage to minetest-$VERSION, eg: minetest-5.0.1

Move the AppImage to $HOME/bin/ then open a terminal and run minetest-$VERSION. Minetest should now launch.

You can now create a launcher in the applications menu to launch it.
