I ran sudo apt-get install steam on my 64-bit computer with Debian 8.2 "Jessie." I accepted Valve's terms and conditions. My graphics card is NVIDIA. I have the nvidia-driver package installed.

I tried running steam in the terminal, but got this error:

Running Steam on debian 8 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:

How do I fix this?

You should install the missing 32 bit version of libGL.so.1. For nvidia, that would be in the package libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386.

If you haven't already done so, you also need to add the i386 architecture to your debian system with dpkg --add-architecture i386

You may also need to install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 and/or glx-diversions if they aren't already installed.

Turns out I installed the Nvidia driver wrong. I had to follow these instructions using backports: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#jessie-352

There was info during steam install:

Please install the nvidia-driver-libs-i386 package

https://packages.debian.org/buster/nvidia-driver-libs-i386

and this is how you install it:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386
