Download Lutris

Lutris is still in a very early stage of development, so it's not yet available for every Linux distribution. The package provided should work on Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and Debian Squeeze.

Download Lutris 0.2.6

To install this package, double click on the file you have downloaded or open it with the Software Center.

Getting Lutris from bazaar

If you run another distribution than Ubuntu or Debian, you can use bzr to fetch the sources. Lutris is in pure Python so no compilation is needed. Getting Lutris from bazaar is also the best way to get the latest bleeding edge version with the latest features (and also the latest bugs). To get Lutris from bazaar, type the following command :

    bzr branch lp:lutris
    

Then run the program by typing:

    cd lutris
    ./bin/lutris
    

Make sure you have installed the following depencies:

  • python-apport
  • python-pyglet (optional, for fullscreen support)
  • python-gobject
  • python-gtk2
  • python-yaml
  • python-gconf
  • joy2key

Contributing

If you want to contribute you can commit changes to your own Launchpad account, I'll take care of reviewing and merging your code into the official branch.
Working with bzr is very simple :

  • Make modifications to the source code
  • Type:
    bzr commit -m 'Description of what I changed'
  • Type:
    bzr push lp:~yourusername/+junk/lutris

Once you've pushed your code in your branch, go to your Launchpad page and have look at your branch, here find the link "Propose for merging". Follow the procedure for a merging proposal so I can have a look at your changes and accept your code in the main branch.
