== Minetest versions 0.4.8 and higher ==
 
 
 
The following explanations assume that you have a Minetest version 0.4.8 and higher like the one you find on this page: http://minetest.net/download <br />. It should display a Textures tab in the tab row in the upper part of the main menu.
 
Download the [http://minetest.net/texturepacks texture pack]. If it is compressed (it probably is), extract it and move the folder from within the archive to one of the following locations.
 
 
 
==== Windows ====
 
 
 
You will find a folder called <code>textures</code> in your Minetest base folder. Place the texture pack there.
 
 
 
* Location of the Texture folder within the folder structure of a run-in-place installation of Minetest, including some of the folders Minetest adds after some usage as client and server, as well as the positions (...) that costum made content goes. Unrelevant folders are not expanded.

==== GNU/Linux ====
 
 
 
Find the folder <code>~/.minetest</code> (so <code>~</code> is your home directory and <code>minetest</code> means it is a hidden folder within your home directory – you might have to access it by pasting that path to your file manager's adress bar) <br />
 
Place the texture pack within the <code>./textures</code> folder.<br />
 
If you create a server and want that the texture pack works not only for you, change the texture pack name to '''server'''.
 
 
 
Start Minetest and select a new style in the Textures tab.
 
 
 
==== macOS ====
 
 
 
Once you've downloaded a texture, you'll need to put it inside of the directory: <code>~/Library/Application Support/minetest/textures/</code>. In the Finder, use the '''Go''' menu and select '''Library'''. Then navigate to the '''Application Support''' folder, then '''minetest'''. Inside the minetest folder, create a <code>textures</code> folder if there isn't one already.
 
 
 
Next, place the unzipped texture folder inside of '''textures'''.
 
 
 
Start Minetest and select the '''Content''' tab. Your texture should appear in the Installed Packages list. Click on it, then click '''Use Texture Pack''' to enable.
