Step-by-step – Winetricks Gnu/Linux Getting Started Guide

Getting Started

2. 2. Looking up Software

   Now to Search for Programs and DLLs
   First, to get Help:

   winetricks --help

   To List All Available Software use:

   winetricks list-all

   To List the available Apps:

   winetricks apps list

3. 3. Installing Software

   To Install Software.

   Installing into the Default Prefix

   Run:

   winetricks [Software]

   Installing in Custom Prefix

   Instead, to Install Programs into it’s own Wine Bottle (Prefix)
   Firt make a New Prefix with:

   WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.custom" wine wineboot

   And then execute:

   env WINEPREFIX=~/.custom sh winetricks [Software]

   So for Instance:

   env WINEPREFIX=~/.custom sh winetricks safari

   Installing 32-bit Software

   First, Create a 32-bit Wine Prefix with:

   WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot

   Or possibly, set the Environment to 32-bit:

   export WINEARCH=win32

   And then to Setup a 32-bit Software run:

   env WINEPREFIX=~/.prefix32 sh winetricks [Software]

   So for instance:

   env WINEPREFIX=~/prefix32 sh winetricks office2013pro

4. 4. Running Sofware

   Then to Run Windows Software with Wine.

   Programs Executables Path

   The default Path do the C Drive is:

   ~/.wine/drive_c/

   To the 64-bit Software:

   ~/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'

   And instead to the 32-bit Programs:

   ~/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files  (x86)'

   For a Custom Bottle so the Path to Drive C is:

   ~/[MYPREFIX]/drive_c

   Running Software

   So to Launch Programs from the Default Prefix
   
   Run:

   wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program*/[Software]/[Software].exe

   For instance:

   wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Safari/Safari.exe

   Instead, to Run Programs in a Custom Wine Bottle:

   env WINEPREFIX=~/.prefix32 wine ~/.prefix32/drive_c/'Program Files'/PATH/2/[Software]

   So for instance:

   env WINEPREFIX=~/prefix32 wine ~/.prefix32/drive_c/'Program Files'/'Microsoft Office'/Office15/WINWORD.exe
