Galactic Civilizations III is a strategy game developed by Stardock for Windows PCs. It is a sequel to Galactic Civilizations II and was first released in 2015. There\u2019s currently no native port for Linux, but it is easy to get it working on Linux with some tweaks. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

\"Galactic<\/p>\n

Galactic Civilizations III works on Linux with the help of Valve\u2019s unique Proton technology, which is built into the Steam for Linux client. As a result, we\u2019ll need to go over how to install the Steam for Linux client.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

To start the installation of Steam for Linux, open up a terminal window. Open up a terminal window on the desktop and press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Alternatively, use the app menu and search for \u201cterminal\u201d to open it.<\/p>\n

When the terminal window is open, the installation of Steam can begin. Using the instructions below that corresponds with the Linux operating system you currently use.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

To set up the Steam for Linux client on your Linux PC, use the apt install<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
To get the latest Steam working on Debian, you\u2019ll need to download the DEB package to your computer. Using the\u00a0wget<\/strong> command below, grab the newest Steam DEB package.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest Steam DEB package to your computer, the installation can begin. Using the dpkg<\/strong> command below, install Steam on Debian.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now that Steam is installed on Debian use the apt-get install -f<\/strong> command below to correct any installation problems that may have occurred.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Steam is available for users on Arch Linux through the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To set it up, start by opening up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file. From there, locate the \u201c#multilib\u201d line, and remove the # symbol from it, as well as directly below it. Then, save the edits.<\/p>\n
After exiting editing, use the pacman<\/strong> command to re-sync with the official Arch Linux servers. After that, use the second pacman<\/strong> command to install the latest release of Steam.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re using Fedora and OpenSUSE, you\u2019ll be able to install Steam out of the box from software sources included in their respective operating systems. However, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on Flatpak. We suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working via Flatpak, start by installing the \u201cflatpak\u201d package. To install the Flatpak package, use the package manager on your computer. If you\u2019re having issues setting it up, please follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your Linux PC, use the two commands below to get the Steam app installed.<\/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
Install Galactic Civilizations III on Linux<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
In the Steam Play area, click on the \u201cOK\u201d button to apply the changes. \u201cEnable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d box, as well as the \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles\u201d button.<\/p>\n

Look through the search results and click on \u201cGalactic Civilizations III\u201d to access the game\u2019s Steam Storefront page. Once on the page, locate the green \u201cadd to cart\u201d button to add it to your Steam account\u2019s cart. Then, use the cart to purchase the game to your account.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Click on the \u201cLibrary\u201d button to access your Steam library. Inside the Steam library area, locate Galactic Civilizations III and click on it with the mouse. Then, locate the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button to start downloading and installing the game on your computer. The download shouldn\u2019t take long.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> When the download is complete, Galactic Civilizations III will be installed on your Linux PC. From here, the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button.<\/p>\n
Click on the \u201cPLAY\u201d button to start up the game. Keep in mind, the first time you start up Galactic Civilizations III, it could take some time as Proton needs to configure everything. Be patient.<\/p>\n
