Steam app installation and error

Software PureOS
1

So I installed the steam package and got this error, You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6

A quick search gave the following advice…

You are missing those following libgl libraries :

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libc6-i386

You may need to add the 32-bit architecture first :

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update

So I tried that and got the following error.

pkg-config-dpkghook: warning: Architecture 1386 not defined in architecture tables, ignored

Can anyone offer help?

PureOS does not offer support for i386 architecture. I’m afraid you are out of luck with Steam on PureOS.

I would install Steam as a flatpak. See https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.valvesoftware.Steam
