How to install the legendary Alliance on Linux

League of Legends is still one of the most famous MoBA games in the world. Although this game has been around for a while and has a huge number of players, it has never appeared on Linux. However, that doesn't mean you can't play the League of Legends game on Linux. With Lutris, you can install and play Legendary Alliance easily and get stable performance on Linux PC.

Install Lutris

Let's start by installing Lutris. Lutris helps keep the game library and various versions of Wine organized neatly, making it a very useful time saver.

Lutris developers have created a series of repositories for popular distributions using the OpenSUSE build service. Use them to install the client.

Ubuntu

Start by adding the repository to the source file. Replace 17.04 with any version of Ubuntu you are running.

 sudo echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/xUbuntu_17.04/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list 

Now download and add the GPG key.

 wget -nv http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:strycore/xUbuntu_17.04/Release.key -O Release.key sudo apt-key add - < Release.key 

Update apt and install Lutris.

 sudo apt update sudo apt install lutris 

Debian

Add the Lutris repository to the source file.

 echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_9.0/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list 

Add the GPG key of the repository.

 wget -nv http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:strycore/Debian_9.0/Release.key -O Release.key apt-key add - < Release.key 

Update apt and install Lutris.

 apt update apt install lutris 

Fedora

Installing Lutris on Fedora is quite simple. Just add the archive and use dnf to install Lutris.

 dnf config-manager --add-repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:strycore/Fedora_25/home:strycore.repo dnf install Lutris 

OpenSUSE

Installing Lutris on OpenSUSE is also very simple. Use zypper to add the repository, then refresh it and install Lutris.

Be sure to replace openSUSE_Leap_42.2 with openSUSE_Tumbleweed or openSUSE_13.2 if you use either of these options.

 zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:strycore/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/home:strycore.repo zypper refresh zypper install lutris 

Arch Linux

Arch is one of the distributions that developers include in installing Lutris. But don't worry too much because Arch has been installed the installation package in AUR by the community.

Get PKGBUILD from Arch's AUR page. Place it where you want, then build and install.

 makepkg -si
