Installation

Windows

1. Install the latest version of the Minetest game engine, then extract the folder to your computer. Create a shortcut on your desktop to the executable located in the "bin" folder by right-clicking the "minetest.exe" file and selecting "Send to" > "Desktop (create shortcut)".
2. Install Minetest Classroom by downloading or cloning the latest release of this repository and then extracting the content into the "games" folder of your Minetest directory from Step 1.
3. Run Minetest from the shortcut you created in Step 1 or by directly executing the executable. When you see the Minetest Game splash screen, click the Minetest Classroom game icon at the bottom to create a new Minetest Classroom game world.
4. Install any mods you want to use with Minetest Classroom in the "mods" folder of your Minetest directory.

Mac

1. Make sure you have Homebrew installed.
2. Enter brew install minetest into the terminal.
3. Once the game is finished installing:

• It may give you instructions including a file path you will need to paste into the terminal to open the game (this seems to only happen on some Macs, and should look something like /usr/local/opt/minetest/minetest.app/Contents/MacOS/minetest or /opt/homebrew/opt/minetest/minetest.app/Contents/MacOS/minetest). If so, save this path or (recommended) create a shortcut command in the terminal so that you can just open the game by entering minetest.
• If you do not get any file path or instructions once installing is complete, you should be able to run the game using minetest.
• If neither of the above options work, remove Minetest using brew remove minetest, reinstall it using brew install --build-from-source --HEAD minetest, and try again.

4. To access the minetest folder (in order to add/edit mods, worlds, etc.), open Minetest, go to the "About" tab, and click "Open User Data Directory".
