But to help you out right now....
To install Steam on Kali Linux, you can download the official .deb package from Steam's website and install it using sudo dpkg -i steam_latest.deb. You can also install it using sudo apt install steam or through the Software Center. Kali Linux is a 64-bit OS, so the 64-bit version of Steam will be installed.
Detailed Steps:
1. Download the .deb package:
Go to the Steam website and download the .deb file.
Alternatively, you can download it directly using wget in the terminal.
2. Install dependencies:
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the .deb file.
Install the necessary dependencies using sudo apt update and sudo apt install -f.
3. Install Steam:
Use sudo dpkg -i steam_latest.deb to install the package.
If you encounter dependency errors, run sudo apt --fix-broken install to resolve them.
4. Launch Steam:
Once installed, you can launch Steam from the application menu or by typing steam in the terminal.
5. Install required libraries (if needed):
Some users have reported needing to install additional libraries, especially for older games. You can try installing libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64, libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64, and libgl1-mesa-glx:i386.
6. Address libGL errors (if encountered):
If you get libGL errors, you can try delinking certain libraries by running the following commands in the terminal:
find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete
find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete
Alternative Installation Methods:
Using APT: sudo apt install steam.
Using the Software Center: Search for Steam in the Software Center and install it from there.
Using Flatpak: Steam is also available as a Flatpak package.
Using a script: Some users have created scripts to automate the installation process. For example, the Steam-for-Kali script on GitHub.
Important Considerations:
Kali Linux is primarily designed for cybersecurity and penetration testing, not gaming.
If you plan to play games on Linux, consider using a more gaming-focused distribution like Manjaro KDE or Linux Mint.
If you encounter issues, consult the Steam support website or the Steam Community forums.
