I love this game and I like to introduce new players to it, however I’ve had a few occasions where people comment how involved it is to unzip the APK installer on Android devices. This blog post is intended to make it easier to anyone looking for a direct link to the APK installer to find it here, uncompressed.

If you have access to a GNU/Linux (Debian or derivative) server, you may also find interesting a guide I wrote to setup your own dedicated Minetest server on Debian.

Background

Minetest was started by Perttu “celeron55” Ahola in October 2010, and is now developed by a random bunch of lunatics.

Minetest is designed to be simple, stable and portable. It is lightweight enough to run on fairly old hardware. It currently runs playably on a laptop with Intel 945GM graphics. Although, as for the CPU, dualcore is recommended.
