Download Raspberry Pi game?

Hi, I'm new to this topic and would like to know how to install the game Supertuxkart on my Raspberry Pi. I know it's possible because this website ( https://botland.de/blog/ranking-der-besten-3d-spiele-fuer-raspberry-pi/ ) recommends the game, but I don't know how to get it onto my Raspberry Pi. Can someone please explain this to me?

Starting from Raspberry Pi OS

You open a terminal and type:

sudo apt install supertuxkart

Then press Enter and type your password.

Attention, entering the password will not be visible, but it will be accepted. This is made for security reasons so that you can’t even see the length of your password when you look at it.

Then Supertuxkart should be found in the start menu.

Declaration of the concept

Linux uses so-called Package management. That is, there is a System that takes care of software and updates. For this, there is (per distribution) a so-called repository by software. For Raspberry Pi OS, the Advanced Packaging Tool is called “apt”.

On Linux it is not necessary to download software from any website.

Explanation of the command

  • sudo = you execute the following command as administrator. Package management needs that, most of the others do not.

All right. sudo use where it is necessary!

  • apt = Package management tool
  • install = install what comes after
  • supertuxkart = name of the program/package to be installed

Did you install Ubuntu as an operating system?

Then Snap doesn’t make sense. I have Debian stable, which has the same base as Raspberry Pi OS and I don’t need a snap. But good 🤷

The bladder I would have liked to know more…😰

Try to press “Alt+F2” and get supertuxkart there. Alternatively, tap into the terminal.

I do not know Raspberry Pi OS surface very well, can be that it takes a moment until it is listed there.

This is via Snap Store. Enter the following in the terminal:

  • sudo apt update
  • sudo apt upgrade
  • sudo apt install snapd
  • sudo reboot

When the restart is finished, enter the following in the terminal:

  • sudo snap install snap
  • sudo snap install supertuxkart

Now supertuxkart is installed. This can then be started in the terminal with the following command:

  • supertuxcartate

If you have a Raspberry Pi OS installed, this is quite simple because supertuxkart is present in the package sources. Open the terminal and enter the following:

sudo apt install supertuxkart

Before looking for any obscure websites, always look into the package sources.
