# Installing Steam on ArtixLinux | |
# NOTE: This is unfinished. The next step is getting 32bit versions of nvidia & | |
# nvidia-utils. Once that's done, I think this will be working. | |
# First, download Steam for Debian. Download it from https://steampowered.com/about | |
# Now, install the 32bit support libs as are required by Steam | |
pacman -S lib32-gcc-libs | |
# Next, extract the archive you've downloaded into a new directory | |
mkdir steam && ar x steam_latest.deb | |
# Optionally, clean up the original download now that you have it extracted | |
rm steam_latest.deb | |
# Change directory into your new steam installer | |
cd steam | |
# Extract files from the deb archive contents into `data` and `control` directory | |
for x in data control; do mkdir $x && cd $x && tar -xf ../$x.tar.* && cd ..; done | |
# Optionally, remove data and control archives | |
rm {data,control}.tar.* | |
# Copy Steam files into /usr/local | |
rsync -a data/usr/ /usr/local/ | |
# Delete extracted contents now that we've succesfully extracted the package to /usr/local/ | |
cd .. && rm -rf steam | |
# Now you should be able to run `steam` if it's not found, add /usr/local/bin to PATH |
