It's been a while since I posted here but I was checking the blog on the Raspberry Pi website and saw that there has been an Opengl driver added to Raspbian (this only works on the Pi 2B model). This in turn has meant many more graphical programs can be run smoothly; what caught my eye was that somebody has said that Minetest runs very well with the new driver (they had to use this in the config though, avoid_warnings = 1) on this page https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/another-new-raspbian-release/. Another person commented on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMfgXOHWAnc whether or not Minetest ran and was answered that it does with around 20-25 fps so it is much more usable than previous attempts to run it. I am guessing it works with the driver by default.
I would like to run Minetest on my Raspberry Pi however I do not know how to install it as I am still fairly new to installing things on Linux (so far I mainly use the Pi to make music). How would I install it?

First, I would try to install it using apt-get:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get install minetest

Hi again, thanks for the help. I ran sudo apt-get install minetest however this error message came up:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

What should I do in this situation?

EDIT: I managed to install a stable Raspbian Jessie 0.4.10 version from the package manager, it automatically installed the dependencies. Is there a way to update it easily? In addition to this, on singleplayer mode with no mods, lowest settings (adjusted in-game not via configs) it runs on around 50-70% cpu (internet browser also open); is this ok or is it better to try and lower it. Can't seem to be able to find the data files for minetest as it was split into two packages when installed and I can't find the file path.
Lastly here is a screenshot :D

A bit choppy loading chunks and placing blocks but when just walking around it easily achieves 20-30 fps.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

That will update the package listing and upgrade everything to the newer version.
