To connect to a Minetest server (including ours) you must download software (a “client”). It is available for many operating systems. - [GNU/Linux](http://minetest.net/download#linux) (choose your distribution) - Android : on the [Google PlayStore](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.minetest.minetest) or on [the free F-Droid blind](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=net.minetest.minetest) - [All versions](http://www.minetest.net/downloads/) (Windows, Mac OSX) ### Configuring your keys You must launch the software, click on the `Settings` tab, then on the button `Change keys` at the bottom right: {screen1} Next, configure each of your keys by clicking on the one you want to change and pressing the desired key. Here is our model: {screen2}
**WARNING** : the software we offer for Windows is configured for AZERTY keyboards. For other systems, the game is set in QWERTY. You will probably need to configure your keys (`Settings` tab)
To participate in the development of the software, propose improvements or simply download it, go to [the development site](@:src.minetest) If you want to install this software for your own use and thus gain in autonomy, we help you on :
It’s summer, Framinetest is taking a break to update itself and will therefore be closed for a few weeks. Take the opportunity to disconnect a little! To continue playing, you can connect to another server, create your own or stay local.
### Launch a game You downloaded Minetest and you want to play? At the beginning, two simple solutions exist: play in solo mode on your machine or join the world of @:(color.minetest-edu). #### In solo mode - Click on the `Solo` tab - Create a «New World» by filling in the "World Name" box and clicking `Create`. - Click on this world then on the `Play` button #### On the world @:color.minetest-edu - Click on the `Client` tab - Choose the server `framinetest.org` - Enter a name (or nickname) then a password and click on `Play`! ### How to play? The game using your mouse, you don’t know how to get out? Don’t panic! Tap on <kbd>Esc</kbd> (menu), <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> (change program) or simply <kbd>I</kbd> (Minetest inventory) - **The mouse** serves to direct your gaze - **Left-click**: mine, attack (in the inventory : move a stack of objects) - **Right click **: place blocks, use (in the inventory : move an object, separate) - **Wheel** or <kbd>0</kbd> to <kbd>9</kbd>: Select an object in the action bar - <kbd>Z</kbd> / <kbd>Q</kbd> / <kbd>S</kbd> / <kbd>D</kbd>: move (top, left, bottom, right) - <kbd>A</kbd>: release what is in the hand - <kbd>Shift</kbd>: relax or walk carefully - <kbd>K</kbd>: fly (activate/deactivate “free movement” mode) - <kbd>J</kbd>: Activate/deactivate “fast” mode - <kbd>I</kbd>: open inventory - <kbd>T</kbd>: open chat window - <kbd>Esc</kbd>: open menu (to exit, among others) ### Be constructive: craft! Minetest is not just a game that breaks bricks, it’s a world where you can use the raw materials harvested to make objects (in the jargon of the game, we say “*to craft*”). Find out how and what to make [in Minetest’s wiki](http://wiki.minetest.net/Crafting)!
