Now a days I only log into windows when I have some work related to photoshop (well I don't play AOE these days).I personally didn't liked GIMP so I want Adobe Photoshop in my Ubuntu. Its very irritating to switch to windows just to use photoshop.Finally i can say good bye to windows. Ubuntu :-*
Install Wine
Wine allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux.
If you wish to install the one in the official repositories.
Installation options:
- Open Ubuntu software Center and search for wine and install it.
- From Terminal:
- sudo apt-get install wine
- winecfg
(this is what I did)
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install wine1.5
- winecfg
winecfg command generates a ~/.wine folder. To see such files Edit Preferences > check "Show hidden and backup files"
If by any chance you messed with it and you want to reconfigure:
Steps to reconfigure Wine :
- You should be able to rename ~/.wine to ~/.wine.backup
- run the wine
configuration program from the menu or from the command-line (winecfg) - a new ~/.wine
will be regenerated and you will still have the old wine folder.
