Lutris should work on any up to date Linux system. It is based on Python and
Gtk but will run on any desktop environment. The following dependencies should
be installed:

If you installed Lutris from our PPA or some other repository, it should already
come with all of its essential dependencies. However, if you need to install
Lutris manually, it requires the following components:

Installation
------------
Lutris uses Python's distutils framework for installation. In order to
install Lutris, you will need root access. To install Lutris, perform
the following command::
To install Lutris, please follow instructions listed on our `Downloads Page <https://lutris.net/downloads/>`_.
Getting Lutris from a PPA or a repository is the preferred way of installing
it and we *strongly advise* to use this method if you can.
sudo python3 setup.py install
Although this is the standard way of installing Python packages we STRONGLY
advice against using it. You won't be able to easily remove the installed
version without you having to go through /usr/local and manually delete lutris
related files. The setup.py script is used by packaging tools to build the
actual packages.
Prefer installing Lutris through distribution packages or run it directly
from the source directory::
However, if the instructions on our Downloads page don't apply to your Linux
distribution or there's some other reason you can't get it from a package,
you can run it directly from the source directory::
git clone https://github.com/lutris/lutris
cd lutris
./bin/lutris
Alternatively you can install Lutris manually with the help of **virtualenv**.
First, install ``python-virtualenv`` from your distribution's
repositories, along with dependencies listed in Requirements_.
Then, create and activate virtual environment for Lutris::
virtualenv --system-site-packages ~/lutris
source ~/lutris/bin/activate
While in the virtual environment, run the installation script::
python3 setup.py install
Run Lutris
-----------
If you installed Lutris using a package or the setup.py script, you can launch
the program by typing "lutris" at the command line. If you want to run Lutris
without installing it, start "bin/lutris" from within the Lutris directory.
If you installed Lutris using a package, you can launch the program by typing
``lutris`` at the command line (same applies to virtualenv method, but you need to
activate the virtual environment first). And if you want to run Lutris without
installing it, start ``./bin/lutris`` from within the source directory.
