00:04Hello everyone, someone of you asked me to make a video on how to install Legacy Launcher and
00:13Minecraft using it on Linux Mint. This can be done on the other flavors of Debian, except if
00:23the tools that I find on Linux Mint cannot be found there. I will switch to my Linux Mint
00:30virtual machine and show you what I mean. So the first thing is you need to be on the link
00:42of Legacy
00:43Launcher which is llaun.ch and then you choose Ubuntu and you download the package which is .deb
00:56I downloaded it before then removed it. I just wanted to show you the full tutorial.
01:04Here we have it downloaded for us. There is a package called gdebby
01:12Let me show you gdebby
01:25All right. If you don't find it, you need to install it using sudo apt on your Debian based
01:34machine install gdebby-core. This is for one of the methods of the installation of
01:43Legacy Launcher. In my case, there is
01:54the application called package installer that does the job of gdebby
02:02package installer. I thought it's gdebby here. I used to use it when I was using
02:12Ubuntu. Let's try to open gdebby again, cdebby
02:19like this
02:29Okay, there should be a GUI based one
02:42Yes, so gdebby-core is cli based. It means that it can only be run on the terminal
02:52and gdebby without dash core at the end may contain a GUI based
03:00application. It's installed in any way. However, on Linux Mint
03:05I'm trying to be a little inclusive here and talk about Debian as well. In Linux Mint we have
03:13a package installer. It has
03:18the graphical method of the installation. I'll show you what I mean
03:23In your case, you just double click it with the left mouse button
03:27It will open for you. In my case since I installed a gdebby package installer
03:31I have to choose it from this menu open with
03:40All right, it will tell us about the dependencies. Here it says that it requires changes in nine other
03:46packages, which are the dependencies here. If we click install package it should install for us
03:55If you don't have the package installer
03:58that I use it now
04:01and you try with gdebby
04:07gdebby-gtk to run it from the terminal
04:11It's not any different with package installer
04:15Let's try to install legacy launcher using the first method which is
04:19package installer or gdebby package installer in case you don't have it installed. I showed you how to install it
04:27simply by running the command
04:30sudo apt install gdebby
04:34You double click this guy over here and then
04:39You click install package. It's the same for package installer the default one that you find on your linux mint
04:48or gdebby
04:50If the installation is successful
04:54For me, it sounds like it's still not done yet. I don't know
04:59Let's try with package installer
05:05Yes, let's click install package
05:08For you this can be done by double clicking with the left mouse button
05:15The file that you just downloaded here you input your password and click authenticate or click and press enter
05:24Here click continue. These are some dependencies that are going that are going to be installed on your system
05:43All right, you should get the installation was successful in case
05:47It is for you and then when you go to this menu
05:52Within games you should get it
05:56In my case, I had to run the installer using the package installer that has a gui in it
06:03More than once there were some errors
06:05I didn't need to do anything except trying to launch the installation more than once
06:12There is another method at least
06:16Which is first let's remove legacy launcher
06:27Like this
06:34Okay
06:37Okay, the dependencies weren't removed
06:40I wanted to show you the second method which should be sudo apt using the terminal of course
06:49Install and then you grab this file like this and release it when it is inside the terminal
07:01And then press enter
07:03And then press enter
07:05And it is installing as you can see
07:24And we have it installed over there
07:27Is there any other method? Yes, we just need to substitute
07:34apt with one of the commands that I'm going to give you
07:39The first one is apt-get
07:41This command can replace the command before
07:47Or we can use aptitude
07:57I found it installed on this linux mint installation in case it is
08:03Linux mint I mean your system is linux mint you may need to run the command like this
08:09In case you don't find it in your debian or debian based distribution you may need to install it like
08:16you install any other piece of software by running sudo apt install aptitude
08:22And if you installed nala
08:27The command becomes sudo nala install like this for aptitude I want to see it running just to prove that
08:37it installs
08:39like this
08:42It should say that the package is already installed
08:50Or something
08:51Anyway
08:53The next thing we do is we go to games and run the launcher
09:03Here it should update and do some stuff
09:17And then here you create or manage your account
09:24Then press plus
09:27The one that has plus on it
09:30You better buy minecraft anyway
09:36Here you make the user that you want
09:46I'll call it like this
09:49Then you click add account you go back home
09:53It will load the version list
09:57From which you're gonna select the version that you would use
10:01You wait for it some time
10:04All right, so you come later in case you weren't able to get a version list
10:10You press this
10:12Three lines button
10:15And you select manage versions
10:17And then here this button you click it
10:21And then you choose refresh version list from the server
10:25Like this
10:26Done
10:27And then you go back to the home
10:30By pressing that button
10:32And you choose whichever release you want
10:47I will choose the latest release
10:49I will choose the latest release
10:50And then you click install and play
10:54Do you want to save changes click here yes
11:00As you can see minecraft
11:031.21.11 is done downloading
11:07And we're ready to use it and play it
11:10Let's try to play it single player
11:16Let's call it mint
11:22Difficulty
11:24Easy
11:25And we create the new world like this
12:02And here is minecraft working as you can see
12:19It's so far playable I need to allocate more GPU RAM for this
12:28Anyway, that was how to set up minecraft through legacy launcher on linux mint
12:33Please don't forget to subscribe, like, share, and comment, and peace
