How do I launch the game?

[panpoga]

Hello everyone! I'm new to Mac and I think I'm a little lost.

Before installing Minetest I installed Homebrew and QuartzX, just as I was asked.

Then I copied the command line from Minetest to the console: brew install homebrew / games / minetest

Apparently, the console tells me that it is properly installed, but I can not find the "minetest" folder in the Finder or the icon on the Launchpad.

In case I had done wrong I re-pasted the line on the console and told me that it was properly installed.

How do I launch the game?

Thank you!

Try entering "minetest" into your terminal

I have this question too, I followed the installation listed for my mac OS 'High Sierra' on:

https://osxdaily.com/2018/03/07/how-ins ... ew-mac-os/

I then installed minetest by entering "brew install minetest"

Once it was installed I entered "minetest" in the terminal and got:

-bash: minetest: command not found

Is Minetest just not going to run on a Mac?

Have you tried navigating in the terminal to the directory where the minetest executable is? For example...*

Code: Select all

User@host:~$ cd [absolute/install/path]
User@host:[/path]$ ./minetest

You might also just make sure the executable is, in fact, executable.

Code: Select all

User@host:[/path]$ ls -l

If you see something other than -rwxr-xr-x before the minetest entry, run a quick chmod (you may need to sudo to do this, depending on how the file was installed).

Code: Select all

User@host:[/path]$ chmod +x minetest
User@host:[/path]$ ./minetest

If this works, and you don't want to have to navigate in the terminal to the install directory every time, you can create a symbolic link to whichever location is most convenient for you.

Code: Select all

User@host:[convenient/location]$ ln -s [minetest/install/path]

*I think MacOS terminals still use Linux-like commands...right?

Okay, all is resolved. I had to update to the most recent mac OS, update homebrew, and the minetest game can launch from the launcher. All is good now. (update, update, update). pffffth
