403 Forbidden on Ubuntu [FIXED]

[tanukigirl83]

So I am trying to install Steam on a Ubuntu PC and I am receiving a 403 - Forbidden error. I have it dual-booted with Windows because I want to see performance differences in Linux-supported games such as Team Fortress 2 and I have tried to download Steam on the Ubuntu Download Center, from Firefox, and from Chrome. How should one go about this?

Try reviewing the Valve page on the Ubuntu site. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve Full of step by step instructions. I personally installed mine from a terminal session.

Open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T ) type the following commands:
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb
sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi steam.deb

If you are more comfortable working in the GUI try the other install options as listed in the Wiki.

IF you are using Ubuntu, you should try the Ubuntu Software Center. I tried it again.

I tried the commands, but this is what I get when I do:
For the wget command: "HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
2016-11-25 14:49:54 ERROR 403: Forbidden." There is much more, but those are the last lines.
For the install it says I already have it.
For the sudo gdebi steam.deb, it says, "gdebi error, file not found: steam.deb"

Nothing works for me.

Sorry but I'm new. Where do you open a terminal?
