To install Steam on a Linux operating system, follow these steps:

  2. Once the download is complete, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the Steam installation file is located.
  3. Type the following command to extract the Steam installation package:
1
tar -xvzf steam.tar.gz


  1. Change to the Steam directory by typing the following command:
1
cd Steam


  1. Run the Steam installation script by typing the following command:

./steam.sh


  1. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.


Note: If you encounter any issues during the installation process, you may need to install some additional dependencies. You can do this by typing the following command:

1
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386


This will install the necessary 32-bit libraries that are required to run Steam.
