Borderlands 2 is the second game in the Borderlands franchise. In the game, the player is a vault hunter, hunting for a hidden vault of treasures. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to get Borderlands 2 running on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"Borderlands<\/p>\n

Borderlands 2 is native to Linux, and the developers take great care in making it work on the platform. However, you can only play this game on Linux with the Steam app. So, we must go over how to get Steam for Linux working.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, the Steam application is installable on your Linux PC via the official Ubuntu software repositories. To get working with Steam on Ubuntu, use the\u00a0apt install\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
On Debian Linux, installing Steam is best done by directly downloading the Steam DEB package from the internet, via the Steam website, rather than messing with the \u201cDebian Non-free\u201d software repository.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To start downloading the latest Steam to your Debian Linux PC, make use of the following\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>command down below. This command will grab the latest DEB and place it directly in your home folder.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the Steam DEB package to your Debian Linux PC, the installation of the app can begin. Using the\u00a0dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command below, install the latest Steam package onto your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Following the installation of Steam on your Debian Linux PC, you will need to correct some dependencies that are missing. To fix these dependencies on your system, execute the following\u00a0apt-get install -f\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
On Arch Linux, users are able to install Steam, but only if the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository is enabled. This isn\u2019t on all Arch systems, as some users prefer to be entirely \u201c64-bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
To get started, you\u2019ll need to edit your \/etc\/pacman.conf file so that the # symbol from in front of \u201cmultilib,\u201d as well as lines directly below it are removed. Then, save it and re-sync to Pacman with the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
After re-syncing, you can install the Steam app on your Arch system with the\u00a0pacman -S\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
On both Fedora and OpenSUSE Linux, you\u2019ll be able to install Steam through included software repositories. However, the Flatpak release of Steam tends to work much better on these operating systems, and we highly suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working via Flatpak, you\u2019ll first need to install the Flatpak runtime. The runtime is very easy to install. To get it working, please follow the in-depth guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime onto your computer, make use of the following\u00a0flatpak remote-add\u00a0<\/strong>command. This command will configure and set up the Flathub app store, which will allow you to install Steam.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
With the Flathub app store configured and ready to go, the next step is to install Steam. Using the\u00a0flatpak install\u00a0<\/strong>command below, install the latest release of Steam onto your Linux PC.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Play Borderlands 2 on Linux<\/h3>\n
Now that Steam is installed on your Linux PC, launch it from the app menu. When it is open, log into your account using your user credentials. Once logged in, follow the step-by-step instructions down below to get Borderlands 2 working on Linux!<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Open up Steam and locate the \u201cSTORE\u201d button at the top of the page. Select it with the mouse, and Steam will launch the Steam Storefront. From here, locate the search box, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
After clicking on the search box, type out \u201cBorderlands 2\u201d and press the\u00a0Enter\u00a0<\/strong>key to view the search results. Look through the results for \u201cBorderlands 2\u201d and click on it to access the game\u2019s Storefront page.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> On the Borderlands 2 Steam Storefront page, scroll down and look for the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button. Select this button with the mouse. When you click on \u201cAdd to cart,\u201d you\u2019ll be able to add Borderlands 2 to your Steam shopping cart.<\/p>\n
Click on the green cart icon in Steam 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 select it with the mouse to access your Steam games library. Then, search through the library for \u201cBorderlands 2\u201d and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
After clicking on \u201cBorderlands 2,\u201d find the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button in Steam, and click on it to install the game. The game will take a bit of time to download and install.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> When Borderlands 2 is done downloading, the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Click on it with the mouse to play the game on your Linux PC!<\/p>\n
