Install Wine

https://wiki.winehq.org/Download

Create a separate Wine environment (wineprefix)

  • This is useful for installing an application temporarily; when you’re done, just delete the wineprefix folder
  • This is also useful for installing an application that requires DLL overrides or other customizations that might break other installed applications
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/wineprefixes
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/irm wineboot

To make it 32-bit, add WINEARCH=win32:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/irm wineboot

Change Wine settings (Windows version, etc)

Use the winecfg command:

WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/irm winecfg

Install an application to a specific wineprefix

Prepend the WINEPREFIX environment variable:

WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/irm wine IRMServer.exe

Uninstall an application

WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/irm wine uninstaller
