American Truck Simulator is a truck simulator game developed by SCS Software. It\u2019s a sequel to Euro Truck Simulator 2 and puts the player in charge of running an 18-wheeler truck across America. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to play it on Linux.<\/p>\n

American Truck Simulator on Linux<\/h2>\n

American Truck Simulator works on Linux, as it has a native release. However, the game can only be played on the Linux version of Steam, and the developers haven\u2019t released the game to Linux on any other distribution service.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

As a result, we\u2019ll need to go over how to install Steam on Linux before showing you how to get American Truck Simulator working on Linux. To start the installation of Steam on your Linux PC, launch a terminal window.<\/p>\n

You can launch a terminal window on your Linux desktop by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and open it up that way. Once the terminal window is open, follow along with the installation instructions outlined below.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

Steam is included in the Ubuntu primary software sources. If you\u2019d like to install it on your system, you can do so with the following command.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
To use Steam with Debian, you\u2019ll need first to download the Steam DEB package to your Linux PC. The reason for this is that Valve\u2019s Steam DEB is much easier to install than the one included in the \u201cnon-free\u201d repo.<\/p>\n
To download the Steam DEB package, use the following\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>command. This command will follow the link to the DEB and place it in your home folder.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After the download is complete, the installation of Steam can begin. Using the\u00a0dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command below, install the latest release of Steam.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
When Steam is done installing, you will run into dependency issues. That\u2019s no problem! You can quickly fix the dependency issues using the\u00a0apt-get install -f\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Steam is available to all Arch Linux users through the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. The trouble is, not all Arch users have this repo turned on, as some prefer a pure \u201c64-bit\u201d installation.<\/p>\n
To turn on the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file and locate \u201cmultilib.\u201d Remove all # symbols from in front of \u201cmultilib,\u201d and re-sync Pacman using the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Once the system is re-synced, you can install the latest release of Steam on Arch Linux with the following command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora and OpenSUSE Linux have Steam available for installation in their software sources, and you\u2019ll be able to get them working with a bit of effort. However, these programs don\u2019t perform and the Flatpak release, so we\u2019d suggest installing Steam over Flatpak instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
Steam is available as a Flatpak. If you\u2019d like to install it, start by setting up the Flatpak runtime. The runtime is easy to install, and you can set it up by following this guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
Once the Flatpak runtime is installed, use the\u00a0flatpak remote-add\u00a0<\/strong>command to install the Flatpak app store. Then, use the\u00a0flatpak install\u00a0<\/strong>command to get the Flatpak version of Steam on your computer.<\/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
