[Wine](https://www.winehq.org/) is a compatibility layer to run windows
|
|
programs on linux machines.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Wine can be installed on most distributions by acquiring the `wine` package.
|
|
The `winetricks` package also is recommended.
|
|
Alternatively it can be downloaded from
|
|
[the official website](https://www.winehq.org/).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Run a windows program
|
|
|
|
- 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
