Download the Minetest engine and game here: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/tarball/stable-0.4 - https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tarball/stable-0.4

Extract the two .tar.gz files, then open a terminal then type this:

Type in your password (it will not be shown when typed, this is intended) then install them by confirming.

Use the "cd" command to go to Minetest's folder (if you name it "minetest" then put it in your home folder, type "cd ~/minetest", then type this:


Then, take the "minetest_game" folder you extracted then put it in the games/ folder of your Minetest folder. Then run "minetest" in the bin/ folder.

There's no need to compile

Download it Here : https://code.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/stable/+files/minetestc55_0.4.3-0ppa1~natty1_i386.deb

This is a Debian Package, Click and install ;)

Its Minetest 0.4.3 Sorry

Calinou's instructions are pretty good but, if you want to compile 0.4.1 you need to download the source from
https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/tree/0.4.1

and the minetest-game from
https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tree/0.4.1

Look at the README.txt file for instructions

How to Compile This:

1. Move the minetest_game into the games folder in the Main src File

2. open a terminal and inter these commands in order:


Once ur done open the src folder and enter the bin folder and run "minetest"
