**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
./bin/lutris
Run Lutris
-----------
If you installed Lutris using 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.
