Terminal script to start steam on Linux (install and start, tested on Debian GNU Linux)

Primary LanguageShell

Debian steamrun

steam shell script bash not maintained

This scripts was my update and runtime helper for the first Steam version on Linux. So the script installs the Steam libs and I was able to run steam via console on Debian GNU Linux.

Notes

This project is from 2013 and is no longer developed or maintained.

INSTALL

You can run the script manually or link it to may /usr/bin.

RUN

  1. start a terminal (e.g.: xterm)
  2. run the script (e.g.: ./steamrun)

PROBLEMS

There exists some libraries update problems. So you have to run

root# aptitude safe-upgrade --full-resolver -y
  • this will uninstall steam
  • upgrade the system
  • you have to run ./steamrun again (but the libs are cached!)
