Need help installing a texture Pack on Ubuntu

[Razor]

I downloaded Minetest via the software Centre, therefore leaving no files in my home folder or desktop etc.. so i would like to download a texture pack for Ubuntu but dont have a clue how to do it???

Put the texture pack files here:
~/.minetest/textures/all

Example structure:

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

~ (= the home folder)
- .minetest/
-- textures/
--- all/
---- default_apple.png
---- ...
---- default_wood.png

Also, avoid installing anything from the software centre -- better get the game from the official source then compile it yourself, see the downloads page of Minetest.

Calinou dont know where to find the .minetest file and everything else please give clear easy steps, ive compiled it

Software centre: I needed to check hidden files to find the.minetest folder in my home folder. There was no textures folder in it.

Self compiled: extracting the texturepack somewhere and then copy/paste all the seperate .png files in the following folder: /home/TOPYWO/celeron55-minetest-9696ed3_copy 1/textures/all works fine for me.
