  • How to install Steam on RHEL 8

    Posted on

    I did a how-to for how to install Steam on the RHEL 8.0 beta: https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3926291 and thought I should update it for RHEL 8.0 final.

    It installs correctly but can't contact the Steam network for logging in. Any ideas? (hopefully it's a temporary Steam issue)

    # dnf install json-glib.i686 libdbusmenu.i686 fontconfig.i686 freetype.i686 glib2.i686 gtk2.i686 pango.i686 glibc.i686
    # wget https://negativo17.org/repos/steam/epel-7/x86_64/libdbusmenu-gtk2-16.04.0-4.el7.i686.rpm
    # rpm -U libdbusmenu-gtk2-16.04.0-4.el7.i686.rpm --nodeps
