-== 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'''.
-* Folder structure as installed by the '''run-in-place''' built for Windows minetest-0.4.9-65d1cb8 compiled by sfan5 (2014-03-30)

-</pre>
-=== OS X Installation ===
-Open the extracted folder and run the .app.
-=== GNU/Linux Installation ===
-If you can, download the version [http://minetest.net/download#linux 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 character is simply done by setting an username and optionally a password. If you set a password when joining a server for the first time, it will be required for further connections on the same server.
-=== Basic Controls ===
-''Most of these can be changed in the “Change Keys” menu. For a more complete list of keyboard 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]] or [[furnace]]), [[Building|place]] blocks, move one item or split items in an inventory
-* '''Shift'''+'''Right mouse button''': place blocks
-* '''Middle mouse button''': move 10 items in an inventory
-* '''Mouse wheel''': select item in the [[hotbar]]
-* '''0'''-'''9''': select item in the hotbar
-* '''Q''': drop block, item or tool in hand
-* '''I''': open or close the [[inventory menu]]
-* '''T''': open the [[chat window]]
-* '''Shift''': descend on ladders or sneak (walk slower, prevents falling off ledges)
-=== 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 and get an overview about [[farming]].
-Just want to build? Try [[creative mode]]!
-If you want more, consider trying new [[mods]] and [[game]]s.
