Installing wine on CentOS 6.5

I had originally installed the vmware virtual machine, but it eats up a lot of memory and gets inconvenient once you have several programs open, and the CentOS software available just isn’t as rich as on a win system. So what to do? I turned to Baidu, and found the solution: install wine to emulate a win system environment, roughly equivalent to installing a plugin on CentOS. First, install a third-party software repository with a fairly rich set of packages — 20,000 or so of them. rpm -ivh http://mirrors.yun-idc.com/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm Because the repository updates its versions, the address or name may change, so if you’re reading this later and can’t download it, go look for it yourself on that site. Next comes yum install wine If this step reports an error, run these 2 commands separately: yum clean all yum makecache Then run yum install wine again In your applications you’ll see a wineglass icon — that’s wine. If you feel the version is too old and want to switch to a newer one, then just uninstall it: rpm -qa |grep wine to check. There are usually 10 wine-related entries, sometimes more — delete them all.
