To install nSnake in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository universe # If you already have a root prompt (#) you don't need to preface any commands with sudo.
sudo apt update  
sudo apt install nsnake

To start nSnake run nsnake from the terminal, and it will open in the terminal because it's a terminal game.

  • My favorite Linux game is sdl-ball (sudo apt install sdl-ball) and I got one of the top scores on it if the sdl-ball leaderboard is to be believed. If you're as competitive as I think you are you might want to try it after trying some of the easier games first. sdl-ball is hard to play, and it's a real waste of time if you've got anything more important to do. You can't find this shadowy game in the Software app anymore, but it's still in the default Ubuntu repositories. – karel Oct 02 '20 at 01:43
