adding a section for setting up retroarch.cfg in Ubuntu
Replace <corename> with the name of the package the core is available in. You can see all of the cores available to you either in your package manager (e.g. Synaptic, Software Center) or by visiting [https://launchpad.net/~hunter-kaller/+archive/ppa Launchpad]. To install all (or at least most) of the cores in one go, run
sudo apt-get install libretro*
====Initial setup (Ubuntu)====
This section applies to most distros of Linux, but the paths referenced may be Ubuntu-specific.
Before you can use the cores you've downloaded in Retroarch, you need to set the path to the libraries in '''retroarch.cfg''', the configuration file for Retroarch. Run Retroarch at least once to create a skeleton retroarch.cfg. By default, retroarch.cfg will be created in the directory '''$HOME/.config/retroarch''', where $HOME is your home directory. If retroarch.cfg is not found at that location, run Retroarch and choose the '''Save Config''' option - Retroarch will save a new configuration file and display its path on screen. Alternatively, you can use the '''find''' command:
find ~ -name "retroarch.cfg"
