Install Steam in archlinux 64

Steam is now available in the official version, but only the Deb package is available, and only the 32 version is available. You can directly install it in the derivative version of Debian. You need to do some work for other versions.

There are two ways to Install Steam in archlinux: one is to install steam directly from AUR, and the other is to directly use the Deb package for self-installation.

First, the first method is to install the Deb package obtained by Aur. However, the process is automated and the dependency is directly solved. Because steam only has a 32-bit version, a 32-bit environment is required for running. Open multilib in/etc/Pacman. conf first. Simply makepkg and pacman-s. Of course, you can directly install it using yaourt.

In another way, decompress Deb and copy it to the/usr/lib directory. In addition, we find that Deb is actually written in Python. Of course, you can manually solve the problem by referring to the files in AUR.

Can this be run? Of course not, because a 64-bit system requires a 32-bit graphics card driver.

After running on the Chinese system, you may not be able to enter the information in the logon box. Please switch to English for your system or change the input parameter lc_ctype to English. Select automatic login and switch back to Chinese.

If a similar error occurs, check your 32-bit driver.ProgramWhether it can run normally.
