Electronic Arts distributes its video games through Origin, a DRM gaming platform similar to Steam. Sadly, it hasn\u2019t ever had a Linux release, and it doesn\u2019t appear that EA will ever put it on the platform. However, it is possible to install the Windows version on Linux with Lutris. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Installing GPU drivers<\/h2>\n

To use Origin on your Linux PC, you will need to install GPU drivers. Sadly, games in origin require things like Vulkan. To get Vulkan working on your Linux PC, you will need to get GPU drivers set up.<\/p>\n

This section of the guide will walk you by setting up Nvidia, Intel, and AMD GPU drivers on your Linux system. To start the installation, open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard or search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

Nvidia<\/h3>\n

To get proprietary Nvidia drivers up and running on your Linux operating system, follow these instructions.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, you can get the latest Nvidia drivers set up by entering the commands below in succession.<\/p>\n

\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers\/ppa\nsudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt install nvidia-driver-450\nsudo apt install libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re on Arch Linux, ensure you have the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository enabled in your Pacman configuration file. Then, use the commands below to get Nvidia drivers up and running.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syu\n<\/pre>\n
\nsudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora<\/h4>\n
To get Nvidia drivers on Fedora working, you\u2019ll need to use a combination of terminal commands as well as the Gnome Software application.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf install fedora-workstation-repositories\n<\/pre>\n
\nsudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver\n<\/pre>\n
\nsudo dnf install vulkan-loader vulkan-loader.i686\n<\/pre>\n
After all of the commands are entered into the terminal, open up Gnome Software and do the following operation to get Nvidia drivers working.<\/p>\n
Add-ons > Hardware Drivers > NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver > Install<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
AMD\/Intel<\/h3>\n
If you\u2019re using an AMD GPU or Intel graphics, follow the instructions below that corresponds with the OS you use.<\/p>\n
Ubuntu<\/h4>\n
On Ubuntu, drivers can be set up on your computer with the following commands.<\/p>\n
\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak\/kisak-mesa\nsudo dpkg --add-architecture i386\nsudo apt update\nsudo apt upgrade\nsudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386\nsudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re on Arch Linux, ensure you have the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository enabled in your Pacman configuration file. Then, use the following commands to get everything working.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syu\n<\/pre>\n
AMD:<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader\n<\/pre>\n
INTEL:<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S lib32-mesa vulkan-intel lib32-vulkan-intel vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora<\/h4>\n
You can get the Fedora drivers up and running with the following commands.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf install vulkan-loader vulkan-loader.i686\n<\/pre>\n
Reboot when done.<\/p>\n
Installing Lutris on Linux<\/h2>\n
Now that the GPU drivers are installed, we need to install the Lutris application on Linux. Lutris will automatically set up EA Origin as they have an installation script that takes care of everything.<\/p>\n
Ubuntu<\/h4>\n
On Ubuntu, the Lutris app can be installed with the following commands.<\/p>\n
\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team\/lutris\nsudo apt update\nsudo apt install lutris\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re on Debian Linux, you\u2019ll be able to get Lutris working with these commands.<\/p>\n
\necho \"deb http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/repositories\/home:\/strycore\/Debian_10\/ .\/\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/lutris.list\nwget -q https:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/repositories\/home:\/strycore\/Debian_10\/Release.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -\napt update\napt install lutris\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Get Lutris working on Arch Linux with the following command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S lutris\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora<\/h4>\n
Fedora user? Install Lutris with the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf install lutris\n<\/pre>\n
OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
To get Lutris up and running on OpenSUSE, enter the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper in lutris\n<\/pre>\n
Installing Origin<\/h2>\n
To install Origin, head over to the Origin Lutris page. Once on the page, click on the \u201cInstall\u201d button. When you click on \u201cInstall,\u201d your web browser will attempt to open up Lutris. Allow it to open up the app.<\/p>\n
Once Lutris is open, an installation window will appear. In this installation window, find \u201cInstall\u201d and click it to start the Origin installation process.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After selecting the \u201cInstall\u201d button, you will be asked to choose an installation directory. Leave the default configuration. Then, click on \u201cInstall\u201d at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve chosen your Origin install location, Lutris will tell you that it must download two files. Select \u201cContinue\u201d to allow these files to download to your computer.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After downloading the necessary files, Lutris will begin downloading and installing Origin. Sit back and allow the installation to finish. When the installation is complete, click \u201cLaunch\u201d to open up Origin!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Please note that you may notice an installation error the first time you install Origin. If this happens, go to Lutris, right-click on Origin, select \u201cStop\u201d to close the app, and re-open it. When Origin re-launches, the error should be gone!<\/p>\n
