How to get Minecraft on UBUNTU 14.04 #1

First, you will need to open 'terminal'
In order to do so, you will need to go to
Unity and search for "Terminal"
or press:
Code:
CTRL+ALT+T
Once you do so you need to type:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:minecraft-installer-peeps/minecraft-installer sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install minecraft-installer
This may not work for everyone. Some users may have issues. This is an UNOFFICIAL release. Meaning that Minecraft did not make it. But it has been working for me. So please thank this thread if you used it.

I would just use the jar provided from Minecraft.net.
As Minecraft updates itself, I see no advantage in using apt-get for the job.

Yeah, I guess this is a bit easier though.

It's just another way. There's some computers that this version may work better than on others. I just thought I would give users the option :Thumbs-Up:
