League of Legends

League of Legends (www.leagueoflegends.com) helper script for installing and running on Linux.

Dependencies

• wine (please see Note)
• winetricks
• bash
• lib32-gnutls
• lib32-libldap
• lib32-openal
• lib32-libpulse
• wget

Note

The current version of WINE does not support the game. Game crashes while entering the main game after champion selection (bug 47198). Until that is resolved, please use wine-lol instead of wine or wine-staging.

Installation

You can install the helper script manually by:

$ git clone https://github.com/kyechou/leagueoflegends.git
$ cd leagueoflegends
# make install

Alternatively, you can install the script as a package. Pull requests for other distributions are welcome.

• Arch Linux: AUR/leagueoflegends-git.
• Debian/Ubuntu: use make deb to create the package.

Configuration

The configuration file is located at /etc/leagueoflegends.conf. You can copy the file to ~/.config/, which will take precedence over the system-wide configuration file.

All the commented lines in the file are the default configuration. You can uncomment and change the values as you desire.
