I have installed Minetest with the PPA on a computer, but there is no /bin/ folder in /usr/share/minetest/. What gives?

The binary is installed to /usr/bin/

Well that's odd. Okay.

Nope, it won't work. Putting the minetestserver.sh script in the terminal does not work; it tells that "./minetestserver: no such file or directory"

./minetestserver means execute current directory/minetestserver, minetestserver is installed as global application.
Use just minetestserver

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
minetest --server


does the exact same thing as:

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
minetestserver


except that you need Irrlicht to compile the former.

You may need to specify a --world setting if you have multiple worlds.

Thank you, I'll use that in the future
