# Wine

Wine is a compatibility layer to run windows programs on linux machines.

## Setup

- Enable multilib support in pacman
  - `vim /etc/pacman.conf` - Uncomment the following lines

    ```txt
    [multilib]
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
    ```

- `pacman -S wine winetricks` - Install wine and configuration helper

## Configuration

- Set the global variable `WINEPREFIX` to your liking, standard is `$HOME/.wine`
- `winetricks` - run the installation of basic windows dependencies to the wine directory
- Move the program you want to run to `$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/`
- `winetricks sandbox` - (Optional) if you don't want wine to set up directories
or files into your home directory
- `wine $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/<insert program>` - Run the program with wine
