Wine: LSU Overview

There may be broken links in this article, the GROK staff has been notified and is working to resolve the issue.

General Information

Wine is a compatibility layer for Mac, Linux, BSD and any other POSIX OS that automatically translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls, allowing the user to run Windows applications on their operating system. In this way, it allows the Windows applications to run seamlessly and fast, unlike how they would run within an emulator.

Pre-Installation Instructions

System Requirements: Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, or another UNIX operating system.

Note: You must have native drivers installed for your system that are equivalent to Windows' drivers for Wine to run Windows applications well (or at all in some cases).

Download & Install

Download Wine from the Provider's Website.
