Does anybody know what the terminal command(s) is/are to download and install minetest? Running Ubuntu 12.04

See the README.md in celeron55/minetest on github

https://github.com/celeron55/minetest

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 cmake $sudo apt-get install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev Download source, extract (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times): $ wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz $ tar xf master.tar.gz $ cd celeron55-minetest-286edd4 (or similar) Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available) $ cd games/ $ wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz $ tar xf master.tar.gz $ mv celeron55-minetest_game-* minetest_game $ cd .. Build a version that runs directly from the source directory: $ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 $ make -j2 Run it: $ cd bin $ ./minetest

I really don't get this. What if I don't have a cd drive?

I did it a little bit different

You can try my gitinstall and gitupdate scripts from here: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2860

cd = change directory

Here are some links that may help you get better acquainted with the command-line:

YouTube - Basic Linux Terminal Commands (Look to the right, there are similar videos listed)

Another command that is useful is "man" (for "manual"). It displays "manpage" or manual page for most commands on your system. (Usually written in two-pocket-protector-wearing, uber-geek; have a search engine's webpage loaded in your web browser to help translate.)

man cp

man rm

man mv

man ls

(For some reason "cd" doesn't have a man page on my system nor a "help" option either.)

The next thing is an even more summarized version of the manpages:

<command> -h

for others its:

<command> --help

Good luck!

This is what I do, cloning the repository instead of downloading the source archives allows easier updating. To do that,

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: git clone git://github.com/celeron55/minetest.git #Download a copy of the repository cd minetest #Change directory to the folder of the repository git checkout stable-0.4 #"Checks out" (switches to) the branch with the latest stable updates #Only if you want stable

(Don't type the stuff after the #s)
Then to update,

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: git pull #"pulls" the latest changes

Whenever you update the code, build it the way rubenwardy said. However, instead of "make -j2", replace the "2" with the number of CPU cores you have + 1. That number is the number of jobs the compiler does at once, and the more cores you have the more jobs it can do simultaneously. I have a quad-core, so I use "make -j5"; it makes a large program like minetest build much faster.
To find the number of cores you have (on linux):

Code: Select all: grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo

i wish minetest had some real terminal commands, so you didn't have to log on to shut down the server, you could just ssh into the terminal and type stop to stop it per say

ssh -> killall minetestserver ?

/shutdown (requires "server" privilege)

And to shutdown, just Ctrl+C. It is far better than killing it.

killall -2 minetestserver = like Ctrl+C (with Signal 2: SIGINT)

no, i wish you could just do it from the terminal, it'd be nicer and faster

this isn't what i mean, i mean actually typing in the command, making the server do it from the terminal such as:
-kick
-ban
-rollback
-privs

like a bukkit server
