I am wondering the best way to install multiple different Minetest releases in Linux. I'm running Mint 15: Olivia. I was thinking about using the "portable" build script found here: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=3837, but I wanted to make sure that this wont overwrite any of my older version or user/world data.
My current installation is an older version that I installed from Synaptic package manager. I'm not exactly sure of my current version, but I do know that it is fairly old, having an older mapgen which is capable of generating mountain peaks in excess of +100 blocks.
I was wondering how I would go about running the different versions. For instance, when I type minetest into the terminal which one will run?
