Did you try to go to the steam website?
https://store.steampowered.com/

At the top of the page, it has an install Steam green icon

As an FYI, Linux Questions does have a separate sub-forum for 4MLinux here, so you can get more focused attention
This is in fact the forum their site directs you to so definitely check at the link.

I looked at the site, the do have a package manager referred to as zk. I am not sure how it works or what is available there is one. The distro looks light but it looks targeted for other than gaming. If you want or do heavy gaming and games more heavy on resources, I am not sure this one is made for that.

I found this on their page which makes me think it is not a gaming oriented distro

Quote:

4MLinux is a small, independent, general-purpose Linux distribution with a strong focus on the following four "M" of computing:
- Maintenance (system rescue Live CD),
- Multimedia (full support for a huge number of image, audio and video formats),
- Miniserver (DNS, FTP, HTTP, MySQL, NFS, Proxy, SMTP, SSH, and Telnet),
- Mystery (meaning a collection of classic Linux games).

I do apologize to 4MLinux devs if I underestimated what can be done with gaming.

Hi,

1) As far as I know, one won't be able to run a Steam client under 4MLinux.
2) 4MLinux is a "retro-gaming" friendly distro:
