lfrun needs to be in a $PATH directory, the quickest and easiest is to just move it to /usr/local/bin

sudo mv lfrun /usr/local/bin

Then you need to create a shell alias so that when you type lf it executes lfrun instead

Open ~/.bashrc (or whatever shell you use)with a text editor and enter

alias lf="lfrun"

As far as the script itself it's opening lf in a wrapper script that sets up the environment for ueberzug to display images
