Dead Cells is a roguelike video game inspired by Metroid and Castlevania. It was developed and published by Motion Twin. Here\u2019s how you can play Dead Cells on your Linux PC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dead Cells is a native Linux video game. That said, it can only be played on your Linux system via Steam. So if you\u2019d like to get this game working on your Linux computer, you\u2019ll need to get the Linux system of Steam working.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

To start the installation process on Linux, you\u2019ll need a terminal window. You can open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open and ready to use, the installation can begin. Using the instructions down below, get the latest version of Steam working on your computer.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, the Steam app is installable via the apt install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
Those on Debian Linux who want to get Steam working will need to download the Steam DEB package and install it manually. To get your hands on the latest Steam DEB package, make use of the wget<\/strong> download command.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the Steam DEB package to your computer, you\u2019ll be able to install it using the dpkg<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Once the Steam DEB package is set up on your computer, you will need to correct the dependency errors during the installation process. To do that, run the following apt-get install -f<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re on Arch Linux and need to install Steam, you\u2019ll have to enable the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To enable this software repository, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf file in your favorite text editor (as root).<\/p>\n
Once the file is open in the text editor, locate the \u201cmultilib\u201d line and remove the # symbol from in front. Then, remove the # symbol from the lines directly below. Save your edits when done.<\/p>\n
After editing, run the pacman -Syy<\/strong> command to re-sync Arch with the official software servers.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the latest release of Steam onto your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
If you use Fedora or OpenSUSE Linux, getting the Steam app working through software repositories included out of the box is possible. That said, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on these OSes, and we suggest those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
The Steam version of Flatpak can only be installed so long as the Flatpak runtime is set up. To set up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, follow our guide. After setting it up, install Steam on your computer with the two commands below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n

On the Steam storefront, locate the search box and click on it with the mouse. When you select the search box, type in \u201cDead Cells.\u201d Then, press the Enter<\/strong> key to view the search results.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Look through the Steam store search results for \u201cDead Cells.\u201d Once you\u2019ve located the game in the search results, click on it with the mouse. When you click on the game in the search results, Steam will load up the Dead Cells Steam store page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
Click on the shopping cart icon in the Steam app to access your cart. Then, go through the process of purchasing Dead Cells for your Steam account.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Find the \u201cLibrary\u201d button in the Steam app and click on it with the mouse. When the \u201cLibrary\u201d button is selected, Steam will load up your games collection.<\/p>\n
Locate the search box inside of the Steam library area and click on it with the mouse. Then, type in \u201cDead Cells.\u201d Your game should come up.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Click on \u201cDead Cells\u201d in the Steam library search results to access the game\u2019s Steam library page. Then, find the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
Upon clicking the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button, Steam will begin downloading and installing Dead Cells to your Linux PC. This installation shouldn\u2019t take too long to complete.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
