Are you a game developer or enthusiast looking to install Unity games on your Linux system? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of installing and running Unity games on your Linux system.
Step 1: Install Wine
Wine is a compatibility layer that allows Windows applications to run on Linux systems. While it may not be perfect, it can help you run some Unity games on your Linux system. To install Wine, open up a terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7
Step 2: Install Steam
Steam is a popular gaming platform that supports both Windows and Linux systems. While Unity games are typically distributed through the Unity Asset Store, many developers also release their games on Steam. To install Steam, open up a terminal and type the following command:
sudo sh -c ‘$echo "deb http://apt.steampowered.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam.list’
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install steam’
Step 3: Download and Install Unity Hub
Unity Hub is a desktop application that allows you to manage your Unity projects, as well as download and install Unity games. To download and install Unity Hub, open up a web browser and navigate to the following website:
https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/desktop
From there, click on the “Download” button for your operating system (Linux is listed as an option), and then follow the installation instructions.
Step 4: Download and Install Unity Games
Once you have Unity Hub installed, you can use it to download and install Unity games. To do this, open up Unity Hub and search for the game you want to install. From there, click on the “Install” button and follow the installation instructions.
Step 5: Run the Game
Once the game has finished installing, you can run it by clicking on its icon in your Linux desktop environment. If Wine is not installed or not configured correctly, you may encounter errors when trying to run the game. In this case, you may need to try running the game through Steam instead.
That’s it! With these steps, you should now be able to install and run Unity games on your Linux system. Keep in mind that compatibility may vary depending on the specific game, so not all games may work perfectly. However, with time, we can expect more and more Unity games to become compatible with Linux.
