****** Lutris ****** |LiberaPayBadge|_ |PatreonBadge|_ Lutris helps you install and play video games from all eras and from most gaming systems. By leveraging and combining existing emulators, engine re-implementations and compatibility layers, it gives you a central interface to launch all your games. The client can connect with existing services like Humble Bundle, GOG and Steam to make your game libraries easily available. Game downloads and installations are automated and can be modified through user made scripts. Running Lutris ============== If you have not installed Lutris through your package manager and are using the source package, it is recommended that you install lutris at least once, even an older version to have all dependencies available. Once all dependencies are satisfied, you can run lutris directly from the source directory with `./bin/lutris` If you need to run lutris through gdb to troubleshoot segmentation faults, you can use the following command: `gdb -ex r --args "/usr/bin/python3" "./bin/lutris"` Installer scripts ================= Lutris installations are fully automated through scripts, which can be written in either JSON or YAML. The scripting syntax is described in ``docs/installers.rst``, and is also available online at `lutris.net <https://lutris.net>`_. Game library ============ Optional accounts can be created at `lutris.net <https://lutris.net>`_ and linked with Lutris clients. This enables your client to automatically sync fetch library from the website. **It is currently not possible to sync from the client to the cloud.** Via the website, it is also possible to sync your Steam library to your Lutris library. The Lutris client only stores a token when connected with the website, and your login credentials are never saved. This token is stored in ``~/.cache/lutris/auth-token``. Configuration files =================== * ``~/.config/lutris``: The client, runners, and game configuration files There is be no need to manually edit these files as everything should be done from the client. * ``lutris.conf``: Preferences for the client's UI * ``system.yml``: Default game configuration, which applies to every game * ``runners/*.yml``: Runner-specific configurations * ``games/*.yml``: Game-specific configurations Game-specific configurations overwrite runner-specific configurations, which in turn overwrite the system configuration. Runners and the game database ============================= ``~/.local/share/lutris``: All data necessary to manage Lutris' library and games, including: * ``pga.db``: An SQLite database tracking the game library, game installation status, various file locations, and some additional metadata * ``runners/*``: Runners downloaded from `lutris.net <https://lutris.net>` * ``banners/*.jpg``: Game banners ``~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/lutris_*.png``: Game icons Command line options ==================== The following command line arguments are available:: -v, --version Print the version of Lutris and exit -d, --debug Show debug messages -i, --install Install a game from a yml file -b, --output-script Generate a bash script to run a game without the client -e, --exec Execute a program with the lutris runtime -l, --list-games List all games in database -o, --installed Only list installed games -s, --list-steam-games List available Steam games --list-steam-folders List all known Steam library folders --list-runners List all known runners --list-wine-runners List all known Wine runners -r, --install-runner Install a Runner -u, --uninstall-runner Uninstall a Runner -j, --json Display the list of games in JSON format --reinstall Reinstall game --display=DISPLAY X display to use --export <game> Exports specified game (requires --dest) --import <game.7z) Import games from exportfile (requires --dest) --dest <folder> Specifies Export/Import destination folder Additionally, you can pass a ``lutris:`` protocol link followed by a game identifier on the command line such as:: lutris lutris:quake This will install the game if it is not already installed, otherwise it will launch the game. The game will always be installed if the ``--reinstall`` flag is passed.
