lutris --reinstall gamename

is a good command to create scripts to bundle lutris with games. But it shows asking paths, wine screen etc..
I think it would be better something silent install command to install a game without any prompt to user. such as

lutris --silentinstall gamename

Having unattended installs could be very useful indeed.

A few things to note:

  • --reinstall is for reinstalling, what you're asking for has nothing to do with reinstalling.
  • We need to find a way to pass values to installers like we do for GOG or Mojosetup games. In most cases, it's just the game path so instead of --silentinstall, we need something like --path.

Hello,

i would like to take this ticket and push this feature a little earlier than 0.6
The great benefit will be, that 3rd party GUIs like Lutis-Kodi-addon can install games without the Lutris GUI popping up.

My approach for the command line would be:
lutris --install <installer> --bin_path <path_to_exe/iso/rom>,<path_to_exe/iso/rom> [--install_path <installPath>]

This we can provide multiple executable files or roms separated by Commas and an optional non-default install Path.

But I see 3 problems here:

  • installation files have to appear in correct order
  • additional dependencies will always be installed?
  • what to do with drop down selection menu in the installer

I am very open for discussion or ideas on this topic.

I don't know what I was thinking when I targeted this for the 0.6 series. This is a feature that is trivial to implement, it should get here soon.
