# Wine
|
||||
Wine is a tool that allows windows programs to be run on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
It is worth noting that Wine does not use virtualization, it directly translates the calls a program is normally making to the Windows kernel into the language understood by the Linux kernel, and vice versa.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
Note: The wine package is not required by [Bottles](#bottles) as it has its own versions of Wine, but **if you're not installing the flatpak version**, I **recommend** installing it as it gives access to the latest version of Wine to Bottles.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arch-Based
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo pacman -S wine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Debian/Mint/Ubuntu
|
||||
As noted above, since bottles will be installed through flatpak there is no use in installing Wine here for bottles.
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo apt install wine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Fedora
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo dnf install wine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Bottles
|
||||
There are a number of programs to manage Wine programs, personally I have found Bottles to be the best experience and what I am recommending here.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
Bottles is packaged on some distributions and is also available as a [Flatpak](Flatpak.md).
|
||||
|
||||
You should be able to install bottles through whatever graphical software manager/store is on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
If that is not available or you just want to install via command-line, see below:
|
||||
|
||||
### Flatpak (universal)
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
flatpak install com.usebottles.bottles
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Arch-Based (AUR Package)
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
yay -S bottles
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Debian/Mint/Ubuntu
|
||||
Bottles is not packaged, use the Flatpak.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fedora
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo dnf install bottles
|
||||
```
