Installed Lutris but can't run it

Hi there,

I’m on Debian 12 and I installed Lutris by running the following:


echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_12/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:strycore.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:strycore/Debian_12/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_strycore.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lutris

but I cant seem to be able to run lutris. there is nothing to run on my system. I tried installing directly using a deb file but that didnt work either. What am i doing wrong?

Looking at the Download page (i.e. Download Lutris ) I would follow it more closely as the commands there look a bit different from yours…

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/lutris.gpg] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_12/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lutris.list > /dev/null

wget -q -O- https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_12/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/lutris.gpg > /dev/null

sudo apt update

sudo apt install lutris

p.s. things are easier on Ubuntu based systems (I use Mint 21.2-Xfce, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) as you can just use the ‘.deb’ file to install it and it works.

Thanks, the main problem was that where Lutris was installed, it wasn’t on PATH.

This helped:
