I need Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I'm hoping to install Lutris on it. When I attempt to install it using a PPA package, the package lutris is not found. The procedure for attempting this is as follows:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lutris

When I attempt to download a TAR of Lutris and then to run its Python executable bin/lutris I encounter the error ImportError: cannot import name '_gi' from 'gi', in spite of the fact that the Python module gi is already installed.

So how might Lutris be installed on 16.04?

You can use third-party PPA, it provides Lutris 0.4.18 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:samoilov-lex/retrogames
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lutris

If this version does not suit your needs you can install Lutris 0.5.6 from Lutris PPA:

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python-distro/python3-distro_1.0.1-2_all.deb
sudo apt-get install ./python3-distro_1.0.1-2_all.deb

wget https://launchpad.net/~lutris-team/+archive/ubuntu/lutris/+files/lutris_0.5.6_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./lutris_0.5.6_amd64.deb
