Download the game from github
The first step is to make sure that git is intalled on your system. If not, the following command will install it for you.
sudo apt-get install git
Once the installation of git is finished you can use it to clone github repositories on your local machine by using the following command.
git clone github_repo_link_here
In our case the following command will clone the repo we need in order to get the source code of the game.
git clone https://github.com/fogleman/Minecraft.git
Once the repo is cloned cd to it in order to make use of the source code.
Install the game requirements
The game depends on python and pyglet. Ubuntu ships with python by default so the only thing wee need to install is pyglet.
Use the following commands.
pip is a tool use by python developers to download, install and manage python packages.

Then do the following.
pip install pyglet
