Getting Started
---------------
Install Steam for Linux client:

1. Download the `steam_latest.deb` package from this [location](http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb).
2. Navigate to the directory containing `steam_latest.deb` and double-click it. This launches Ubuntu Software Center and installs the package.
3. If you prefer to install from the command-line, use gdebi. Install the `gdebi-core` package (`apt install gdebi-core`) and then install the Steam for Linux package (`gdebi steam_latest.deb`).
4. For a list of games supported by Steam for Linux either visit this [page](https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8495-OKZC-0159) or click Store (from the client) and then the Linux tab on the far-right.
We recommend that you join the Steam for Linux official game group, located [here](http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410). You will find future beta announcements and other information posted here as well as an active discussion forum.
1. Add the official apt repsository and signing key:
```bash
sudo curl -o /usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/stable/steam.gpg
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam-stable.list <<'EOF'
deb [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg] https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ stable steam
deb-src [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg] https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ stable steam
EOF
```
2. Add 32-bit support (if on amd64)
```bash
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
```
3. Update the package cache, and install steam and its dependencies
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 \
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 \
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
steam-launcher
```
