How to Install Wine on Linux Mint

Wine is a project that aims to make the Unix-like operating systems (Unix-like) and the X-Windows system running on a personal computer can run programs specifically designed for Microsoft Windows. basically you can install wine offline, but this way is very not recommended, because usually there are not installed packages so that you will fail to install the application wine.


Another way is to install online.
1. make sure your computer is connected to the internet

2. Open a terminal (ctrl + t)

3. type in sudo (space) apt-get (space) install (space) wine

4. wait a few moments until the wine is completely installed

5. Open .wine, then drive_C, then "Program Files".

6. Review: /home/user name/.wine/drive_C/Program Files.

7. Remember this folder. It is very important. Again it is your "Program Files." Remember where to    find it and that it is invisible unless you press the Control+H in your /home/user-name folder.

8. Start downloading .exe programs (Window's programs).

9. Make sure you place them inside this "Program Files" folder before you try to install them. Otherwise, you will probably fail miserably.

10. Once placed in the "Programs Files", you can now right click on them. A rectangular box will pop up with many options. Click the option to install with Wine Windows Program Loader. Install a program.

11. After this, you can go to your panel menu or start menu and see if your programs are there.

12. Attempt to run them and play with the program. If this does not work for you, try the words "learn Wine Linux" or "how Wine Linux" on this site to see if anything new has appeared. You might also find that typing the same words into blog.google.com is super useful.

13. Do a search to find out if your program is compatible with Wine. There are still many programs that are not working yet. However, there appears to be a number that do also.
