cross-seed conflicts with The Lounge installation

Bug Reports

Following the instructions listed on https://docs.ultra.cc/community/cross-seed while The Lounge is installed leads to a broken cross-seed installation. Investigating closer, it seems to be due to that both write a node-related variable into .bashrc, which leads cross-seed to use The Lounge’s copy of node. This causes a versioning conflict with one of cross-seed’s dependencies.

I’m not sure what the consequences would be of installing cross-seed first and then installing The Lounge, but I presume it wouldn’t be good.

Though I realize the cross-seed installer is not officially supported and this probably won’t be fixed, could we at least put a specific disclaimer about this in the install guide?

    Also, to those potentially affected by the bug: I presume The Lounge and cross-seed are incompatible with each other, but it is possible to get cross-seed running by uninstalling The Lounge and removing the relevant environment variable declaration from .bashrc manually. I do not remember which exact variable it is.
