Spelunky is a 2D platformer game for Microsoft Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Chrome OS, and Nintendo Switch. Here\u2019s how you can play Spelunky on your Linux computer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Spelunky is not a native Linux game, but it still works thanks to Steam in Proton. Unfortunately, the Proton feature only works on Linux with the help of the Linux Steam application. So, we must demonstrate how to get Steam working.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

Steam works on many distributions on Linux. Launch a terminal window on the desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard to get it working on your Linux operating system. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open and ready to use, the installation of Steam can begin. Following the installation instructions down below, install the Steam app on your computer.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

Steam is available for installation on Ubuntu through the official software repositories. Using the apt install<\/strong> command below, install Steam.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
Steam works on Debian, but you\u2019ll need to download the Steam DEB package to your computer to get the app working. Using the wget<\/strong> download command below, grab the latest release of Steam.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest release of Steam to your computer, the installation can begin. Using the dpkg<\/strong> command below, install the latest release of Steam on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Once Steam is set up on your computer, you\u2019ll need to correct any dependency issues that may have arisen during the installation process.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Steam is available to Arch Linux users via the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. However, this repo isn\u2019t enabled by default. To enable it, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file in your favorite text editor (as root).<\/p>\n
With the text file open in an editor (as root), find the \u201cmultilib\u201d section, and remove the # symbol from in front. Be sure to also remove the # symbol from the lines directly below it.<\/p>\n
After you\u2019ve finished editing, close the text editor and save the file. Then, resync Arch Linux with the official software repositories.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the latest release of Steam on Arch Linux using the pacman<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora and OpenSUSE can install Steam through software repositories included out of the box. However, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on these operating systems, so we suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
\n
If you\u2019d like to set up Steam as a Flatpak on your Linux PC, you\u2019ll have to set up the Flatpak runtime on your computer and enable the Flathub app store. Setting up the Flatpak runtime is confusing, so follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
Once the runtime is configured, you can enable the Flathub app store with the remote-add<\/strong> command in a terminal window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\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
Install Spelunky on Linux<\/h3>\n
With Steam up and running, launch the application on your desktop and log into your account using your user credentials. Then, follow the step-by-step instructions below to get Spelunky up and running on your computer.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Open up the \u201cSteam\u201d menu inside of the Steam app and select it with the mouse. Then, find the \u201cSettings\u201d button and click on it. Finally, select \u201cSteam Play\u201d and go to the Steam Play area.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Inside the Steam Play area of the Steam Settings section, check both the \u201cEnable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d box and the \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles\u201d box.<\/p>\n
After checking both boxes, click the \u201cOK\u201d button to save the settings.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Select the \u201cStore\u201d button inside of Steam to access the Steam storefront. Once there, find the search box, and click on it with the mouse. Then, type in \u201cSpelunky\u201d and press the Enter key<\/strong> to view the results.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Look through the Steam search results for \u201cSpelunky\u201d and click on it with the mouse to access the Spelunky Steam Storefront page. Then, once on the page, find the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button, and select it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Upon clicking on the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button, you\u2019ll have added Spelunky to your Steam cart. Select the green Steam cart icon in the Steam app. Then, use Steam to purchase Spelunky for use on your Steam account.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> After you\u2019ve purchased Spelunky on Steam, find the \u201cLibrary\u201d button inside of the app and click on it with the mouse to access your Steam library. Once inside of your Steam library, scroll down and search for \u201cSpelunky\u201d and select it.<\/p>\n
Then, click on the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button to download and install Spelunky on your computer.<\/p>\n
Step 6:<\/strong> Allow Steam to download and install Spelunky. When the process is complete, the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Select the green \u201cPLAY\u201d button to start up Spelunky on your Linux computer.<\/p>\n
