\"StepMania<\/a><\/p>\n

StepMania is a free dance and rhythm game for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It features 3D graphics, keyboard and “dance pad” support, and an editor for creating your own steps.<\/p>\n

StepMania 5.0.10<\/a>, the most recent stable release, has been released for more than a month. Due to lack of Ubuntu binaries, I’ve finally built this release into PPA available for Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 15.04<\/b> and Ubuntu 14.04<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"StepMania<\/a><\/p>\n

Install StepMania 5 via PPA:<\/h3>\n

UPDATE: The PPA supports until Ubuntu 18.04! For Ubuntu 20.04 and later, please use Flatpak package instead, see this step by step guide<\/a> for details<\/b><\/p>\n

Before getting started, remove previous release and backup songs if any. <\/p>\n

1. Add PPA.<\/p>\n

Open terminal from Unity Dash, App Launcher, or via Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut keys. When it opens, paste below command and hit enter:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/stepmania<\/pre>\n
\"StepMania<\/a><\/p>\n
Type in your password (no visual feedback just type in mind<\/i>) when it asks and hit Enter to continue.<\/p>\n
2. After that, search for and install stepmania<\/code> via Synaptic Package Manager after clicking Refresh.<\/p>\n
Or run below commands one by one in terminal to refresh index and install the game:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get install stepmania<\/pre>\n
For those who don’t want to add PPA, grab the .deb<\/b> packages from This Page<\/a>. Ubuntu 14.04 and its derivatives need FFmpeg.<\/p>\n
3. (Optional) To remove the PPA and uninstall the game, run:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/stepmania\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get remove stepmania stepmania-data<\/pre>\n
In addition<\/b>, after first launch the game will create .stepmania-5.0<\/u> folder in user root directory. Press Ctrl+H<\/b> to view this hidden folder and install Themes, Songs, etc into sub-folders.<\/p>\n
<\/i>
Song directory structure: root folder (.stepmania-5.0\/Songs) -> group folder -> song\/simfile folder -> *.png, *.mp3\/*.ogg, *.sm\/*.ssc\/etc files<\/b><\/p>\n
Get more songs: stepmania.com\/forums\/songs\/<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n
