How To Play Games On Terminal?

Hello Everyone !!!
In this tutorial, I will show you how simple it actually is to play games on the terminal by using SUDO commands. SUDO means Super User Do Commands !!!

Intro

We can do many things by using the Terminal with a few commands. The terminal is a very powerful tool to perform amazing commands. In this tutorial, we are going to play games on the Linux terminal.

What You Need?

We are going to play games on Linux Terminal. The requirements are -
  • Linux Terminal
  • Internet Connection 
  • Administration Password 

Let's Get Started

We are going to use 3 Commands to install the game at a time on one line. Be careful while using the "SUDO" command. It is a very simple command as well as dangerous & destructive. Let's get started with the following steps.

Step 1: Open the Terminal

First of all, open the terminal. Go to applications & choose terminal. Also, we can use a keyboard shortcut to open the terminal. Keyboard Shortcut For Terminal: CTRL + ALT + T.

Step 2: Install

In this step, we are going to use 3 commands. 
  • sudo 
  • apt-get
  • install


To install the game, Use 

DCs-      :~ Dhanraj$ sudo apt-get install bastet

Here, Sudo stands for "Super User Do". After using this command, now you are a Super User !! And, the "apt" is an advanced packaging tool. The "apt-get" command allows us to download the package. The "install" command installs the downloaded package.

Step 3: Authentication

After running above command, it will ask for password because we have used "SUDO" command.


Enter the password. Don't worry about password visibility. The password cursor will continuously blink while entering the password. But the password will not visible on screen while typing the password. After entering the password, the installation process will take a few seconds to install the game package.


After getting notifications like this, you are all set up to play the game.

Step 4: Open the game

To open the game, type the name of the game to open it.

DCs-       :~ Dhanraj$ bastet

It will open the installed game on the terminal.


Enjoy the game!!!
