@ -8,42 +8,60 @@ Lutris should work on any Gnome system, the following depencies should be
installed:
* python > 3.4
* python-yaml
* PyGobject
* libsoup-gnome
* PyGObject
* PyGObject bindings for: Gtk, Gdk, GnomeDesktop, Webkit2, Notify
* python3-requests
* python3-pillow
* python3-yaml
* python3-evdev (optional, for controller detection)
These dependencies are only for running the Lutris client. To install and run
games themselves we recommend you install the following packages:
* psmisc (or the package providing 'fuser')
* pz7zip (or the package providing '7z')
* curl
* fluid-soundfont-gs (or other soundfonts for MIDI support)
* cabextract (if needed, to install Windows games)
* x11-xserver-utils (or the package providing 'xrandr', if you are running
Xorg, if you are not, you will depend on the GnomeDesktop bindings to fetch
screen resolutions on Wayland, the GnomeDesktop library is not directly
related to the Gnome desktop and is only used as a xrandr replacement.)
* libc6-i386 and lib32gcc1 for 32bit games support
* The 32bit OpenGL driver for your graphics card
To install all those dependencies on Ubuntu based systems, you can run::
sudo apt install python3-yaml python3-requests python3-pil python3-gi /
gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0 gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 /
gir1.2-notify-0.7 psmisc cabextract unzip p7zip curl fluid-soundfont-gs /
x11-xserver-utils python3-evdev libc6-i386 lib32gcc1
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 as root::
the following command::
$ python3 setup.py install
sudo python3 setup.py install
**Warning:** USING SETUP.PY TO INSTALL LUTRIS IS ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED BY
THE DEVELOPERS. USE THAT METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE RECOMMENDED WAY OF
INSTALLING LUTRIS IS WITH PROVIDED DISTRIBUTION PACKAGES. IF YOU WANT TO
USE THE DEVELOPMENT VERSION, JUST RUN IT FROM THE SOURCE DIR ITSELF.
Altought 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.
***********************************************************
* *
* **WARNING:** SERIOUSLY, DO ***NOT*** USE SETUP.PY!!!!! *
* *
***********************************************************
Prefer installing Lutris through distribution packages or run it directly
from the source directory::
**Warning:** there is no way to cleanly uninstall programs installed with
setup.py other than manuall deleting the created files. Prefer installing
Lutris through distribution packages or run it directly from the source
directory::
cd /path/to/lutris/source
git clone https://github.com/lutris/lutris
cd lutris
./bin/lutris
