I have downloaded the online installer from Steam's website. However, steam doesn't want to work after the installation process. I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 64bit. How can I get steam to work?

Edit1:

I have tried the following command: sudo apt-get install steam

Steam still does not work.

Edit2:

More details as requested.

I have tried the following command in the terminal: steam

This is the output:

Running Steam on ubuntu 15.10 64-bit  

STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

Run these commands in terminal :

32Bit

mv $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.bak

64bit

mv $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.bak

This solution may have solved steam errors like yours in other posts, e.g. this Post.
