Hello,
Despite following instruction on how to install Minetest from source on Debian, system wide installation doesn't work.
When I used cmake command with -DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE during compilation game had been installed in ~/.minetest folder not in /usr/share/minetest.
Am I missing something?

Re: Unable to install Minetest system wide
Need more information. What exactly does not work?
Problems installing? Does not start? Some other error?

Re: Unable to install Minetest system wide
Did you run sudo make install?

Re: Unable to install Minetest system wide
Configuration files will always go in ~/.minetest, so that they are per-user. The game files will go in /usr/ (and /usr/local) once installed using sudo make install.
Re: Unable to install Minetest system wide
@Calinou
I was aware that config files are stored in ~/.minetest
@rubenwardy @Calinou
In fact I didn't issue command sudo make install to finalize installation. That was the reason that game wasn't installed system wide and it was compiled to the folder where the source code was downloaded.
Thanks for helping me to solve the problem.
BTW make install command is missing in README.txt on Minetest GitHub page.

Re: Unable to install Minetest system wide
"make install" is not mandatory to run a Minetest client or server, you can just run the binary that landed in the bin/ folder.wolf_ram wrote:BTW make install command is missing in README.txt on Minetest GitHub page.
