Unofficial Steam install for Arch Fedora and Ubuntu

[Venn Stone]

Didn’t get in on the first round of the beta? Well, you can still tinker with the client.

Launching �steam [url=steam://open/games]steam://open/games[/url]� from terminal should work for all distros.

Install Steam:

Ubuntu: From terminal run

wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb

sudo dpkg -i steam.deb && sudo apt-get install -f

run �steam [url=steam://open/games]steam://open/games[/url]�

Arch: Download the Package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steam/

Fedora:

Download http://spot.fedorapeople.org/steam/

Put the steam.repo file in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory (as root)

yum install steam

If you are on amd64 architecture then you will also need to run �sudo apt-get install libjpeg-turbo8:i386 libcurl3gnutls:i386 libogg0:i386 libpixman-1-0:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386 libtheora0:i386 libvorbis0a:i386 libvorbisenc2:i386 libvorbisfile3:i386 libasound2:i386 libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxau6:i386 libxcb1:i386 libxdmcp6:i386? from terminal without the quotations.

I’ve got it loaded up but it tells me my account isn’t enabled because it’s a closed beta. What a tease.

Open a terminal and run “steam [url=steam://open/games]steam://open/games[/url]” minus the quotation marks.
