  3. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the Doom 3 installer is located.
  4. Make the Doom 3 installer executable:
    chmod +x ./doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run
  5. Run the installer as the superuser:
    sudo ./doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run

    This will launch the Doom 3 installer.

  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Doom 3. You may be prompted to enter your Doom 3 game key.
