Splitgate is a PVP game that the developer says is \u201cHalo meets Portal.\u201d In the game, users can portal with a portal gun while defeating enemies with various weapons. The game is in Beta, so it can be unstable. However, it is free to play. Here\u2019s how to enjoy Splitgate on Linux!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Splitgate is a new FPS game that takes the concept of Valve\u2019s Portal and Microsoft\u2019s Halo and puts them together. It\u2019s a fun game, and thankfully, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy it on Linux. That said, you\u2019ll only be able to play the game on Steam for Linux, so we\u2019ll need to demonstrate how to install it.<\/p>\n

To start the installation of Steam on Linux, open up a terminal window on the desktop. To do that, press 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. Follow the installation instructions down below to get Steam working on the desktop.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

To install Steam on Ubuntu, you\u2019ll need to use the following apt install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
Steam is available on Debian. However, you\u2019ll have to get the DEB package from the Valve website and download it to your home folder using the wget<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the Steam DEB package to your computer, the installation can begin. Using the\u00a0dpkg<\/strong> command down below, install the latest release of Steam for Debian.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Steam DEB package is configured on your Linux PC, you\u2019ll have to correct any dependency issues on the system. Using the apt-get install<\/strong> command down below, correct the dependencies.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Arch Linux has Steam available in the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. However, you\u2019ll need to enable this software repository on your computer. To do that, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file (as root).<\/p>\n
Now that the file is open as root locate the # symbol near \u201cmultilib\u201d in the text file and remove it. Then, remove the # symbols from directly below it. Finally, save the text file and re-sync Pacman with the official software repositories.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the Steam application on your Arch Linux system using the following pacman<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
With Fedora and OpenSUSE, it is possible to get Steam working through the software repositories included on the system. That being said, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on these operating systems, and we suggest setting it up instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working on your PC as a Flatpak, you\u2019ll have to set up the Flatpak runtime on your computer. Thankfully, the Flatpak runtime can easily be set up by following our setup guide.<\/p>\n
After configuring the Flatpak runtime, the installation of Steam can begin. First, using the two commands below, get the latest Steam app working on your system.<\/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
Now that Steam is installed open up Steam on your computer and log into your account using your password details. Then, follow the step-by-step instructions down below to get Splitgate working on Linux.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> To get Splitgate working, find the \u201cstore\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. Inside the Steam store, find the search box and click on it with the mouse. Then, type in \u201cSplitgate (Beta).\u201d<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Press the\u00a0Enter<\/strong> key to view the search results. Then, look through the search results and click on \u201cSplitgate.\u201d Selecting this option will load up the game\u2019s Steam Store page.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Locate the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. When you select this button, you\u2019ll add the game to your Steam cart. Then, click on the cart button to go through the process of purchasing the game for your Steam account.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Find the \u201cLibrary\u201d button in Steam and click on it with the mouse to access your game in your Steam library collection. Then, find the search box in the Steam library section, and type in \u201cSplitgate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Locate \u201cSplitgate\u201d and click on it to access the game\u2019s Steam library page.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> On the Splitgate library page, find the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse. When you select this button, the game will begin to download. Keep in mind that this download may take some time.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
The blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button when the download is complete. Select it with the mouse to start up Splitgate.<\/p>\n
Enjoy, and happy gaming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
