How to Install Minetest on OpenSUSE

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Minetest, a free and open-source game similar to Minecraft, on OpenSUSE. Minetest is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

Prerequisites

Before installing Minetest on OpenSUSE, you must have the following:

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

Step 2: Install Minetest

Once Flathub is enabled, you can now install Minetest using the following command:

flatpak install flathub net.minetest.Minetest

During the installation process, you may be prompted to confirm additional disk space and to agree to the Minetest EULA (End-User License Agreement).

Step 3: Launch Minetest

After the installation has finished, you can launch Minetest in one of two ways:

Method 1: Launch from Applications Menu

Open the Applications Menu by clicking on the grid icon on the bottom left of the screen. In the search bar, type "Minetest". Click on the Minetest icon that appears to launch the game.

Method 2: Launch from Terminal

Alternatively, you can launch Minetest from the terminal by running the following command:
