-== Downloading ==
+[https://dev.luanti.org/getting-started/ This page has moved to the Luanti Developer Wiki]
-Firstly, [http://minetest.net/download.php download Minetest] for your operating system and extract it somewhere you can access it.
-== Installing ==
-Installation will differ depending on your operating system. Here are instructions for each OS:
-=== Windows Installation ===
-Open the extracted folder and look for the '''bin''' folder. Open '''bin''' and run '''minetest.exe'''.
-=== OS X Installation ===
-Open the extracted folder and run the .app.
-=== GNU/Linux Installation ===
-If you can, download the version already compiled for your distribution of GNU/Linux. If you can't find one, you can compile it yourself from [https://github.com/minetest/minetest here]. In this case, you should also install a so-called Minetest-[[Game]].
-== Playing ==
-Now that you have it installed you can either; play singleplayer, play on a local server or play online by connecting to a server.
-=== Play Singleplayer ===
-To [[How to build your first house|play singleplayer]] simply '''create''' a world and click '''Play'''.
-You can choose (or install) a [[Game]] or just use the [[Minimal development test]] game.
-=== Play Online ===
-[[File:Password.PNG|thumb|250px|The select password screen]]To play online you must enter a username, a password for yourself, and the server address (and port). If it is your first time connecting to that server it will create a player for you with your chosen username. Using a password is strongly recommended to stop others [[griefing]] your character.
-Creating a password/account is done by:
-#Login to a server (it can be local, but not singleplayer) '''without a password''' (this is for the first time setup only)
-#Once connected to the server, press Esc and click the "Password" button.
-#Enter your desired password here, leaving the "Old Password" box empty.
-#You have now created a Minetest account! To log in with this name in the future you must use your chosen password.
-=== Basic Controls ===
-''Most of these can be changed in the “Change Keys” menu. For a more complete and accurate list of controls, see [[Controls]].''
-The default and most important controls are:
-*'''W/A/S/D''': Move
-*'''Space''': Jump
-*'''Left mouse button''': Attack, [[Mining|mine]] [[blocks]], move an [[item stack]] in an [[inventory]]
-*'''Right mouse button''': [[Using|Use]] (e.g. open [[chest]]/[[furnace]]), [[Building|place]] blocks, drop item, move one or split blocks/items in inventory
-*'''Middle mouse button''': Move 10 blocks/items in inventory
-*'''Mouse wheel''': Select block/item in [[hotbar]]
-*'''0'''-'''9''': Select block/item in hotbar
-*'''Q''': Drop block/item
-*'''I''': open/close [[inventory menu]]
-*'''T''': open [[chat window]]
-*'''Shift''': Descend on ladders or sneak/walk slower
-=== Gameplay ===
-See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJMj8MiqjwI this video] for the basics about Minetest. It is a bit out-dated, however.
-Here is a little tutorial: [[How to build your first house]].
-The following wiki pages explain some basic Minetest concepts more or less in-depth:
-*[[Inventory]]
-*[[Tool]]
-*[[Mining]]
-*[[Building]]
-*[[Using]]
-*[[Crafting]]
-*[[Smelting]]
-If you want to play online, you should read the [[Server#In_the_server|gameplay notes for multiplayer servers]].
-As soon as you grasped the basics, you may want to look up which [[blocks]] and [[items]] are available an get an overview about [[farming]].
-Just want to build? Try [[creative mode]]!
-If you want more, don’t forget to try new [[mods]] and [[game]]s.
-Advanced topics:
-*[[Groups]]
-*(''more to come'')
-== See also ==
-* [[Crafting]]
-[[Category:Tutorials]]
