Human: Fall Flat on Linux

Human: Fall Flat works on Linux, but only with the official Steam Linux app’s help. For this reason, we must demonstrate how to install the official Steam app on Linux.

Install Steam

To start installing the official Steam for Linux client on your Linux PC, open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on the keyboard. Or, search for “terminal” in the app menu. After that, follow along with the command-line installation instructions outlined below that corresponds with the Linux OS you use.

Ubuntu

Steam is well supported on Ubuntu. To install the app on your Ubuntu system, make use of the following Apt command.

sudo apt install steam

Debian

Debian supports Steam, but the best way to install the app on your Linux PC isn’t through the official software sources. Instead, it is best to download the Steam DEB from the Steam website.

To download the latest Steam DEB package to your Debian Linux PC from the official website, execute the following wget command below in a terminal window.

wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steam.deb

After getting the Steam DEB package downloaded to your Linux PC, the installation can begin. Using the dpkg command, install Steam on Debian.

sudo dpkg -i steam.deb

Once the Steam DEB package is done installing onto your Linux PC, you may notice some errors in the terminal. To fix these errors, execute the following command.

sudo apt-get install -f

Arch Linux

Arch Linux supports Steam, and users can install the app on their operating system via the “multilib” software repository. To start the installation of Steam, ensure you have “multilib” enabled in /etc/pacman.conf.

After enabling the “multilib” software repository in Arch, use the Pacman command below to get Steam working.

sudo pacman -S steam

Fedora/OpenSUSE

Both Fedora and OpenSUSE Linux have Steam available for users to install. However, the installation method for both Fedora and OpenSUSE are tedious and not great for new users. If you use either of these operating systems, we highly recommend following the Flatpak instructions instead.

Flatpak

Steam is available as a Flatpak. To get the Steam Flatpak working on your computer, start by enabling the Flatpak runtime. Unsure about how to enable the Flatpak runtime? Follow our guide on the subject.

After enabling the Flatpak runtime, you must enable the Flathub app store. To enable the Flathub app store on your computer, make use of the flatpak remote-add command below.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Now that Flathub is set up, the installation of Steam can begin. Using the flatpak install command below, get Steam setup.

flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam
