I just downloaded cube, (this is my first time on linux do not know anything about it) on arch linux and I do not know how to open up the file.

Sauerbraten is in the Arch repositories. You don't need to download it from the website, you can install it with pacman.

pacman -S sauerbraten. You can search the Arch repositories for applications here.

how do i open up the file?

Which file?

I mean how do i start it up and start playing.

You should have it in your menu. If not, there should be the files usr/bin/sauerbraten-client and usr/bin/sauerbraten-server. Start one of these, according to your needs.

from just installing Arch you should have learned HOW to run a program
Installing Arch is not for the faint of hart .It is easier that LFS but way way WAY more difficult for a " New to Linux" person
that installing Ubuntu


it is also a very minimal OS - no auto setting of things - a manual( by hand) set up OS
and most things WILL NOT have menu " *.desktop " files auto made
You will need to manually make them in
(for Gnome - /usr/share/applications)
( for KDE - /usr/share/apps )

you DO NOT say what desktop you are using Arch dose NOT have a default
is it Gnome, KDE 4 , xfce , E17 ,????? what
