MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - NEW HOW-TO: Install ADE 2.0.1 in Wine

I just used this procedure successfully to install ADE 2.01 on a notebook running Manjaro (an Arch Linux based distro). There was no previous installation of Wine which I installed from the package manager together with Winetricks. When running Step 1 I received a warning that i needed to install separate pacages for wine-gecko and wine-mono to run dotnet programs. This will vary from distro to distro. Otherwise the steps worked well. The dotnet package again took a long time to download and also a long time to install. Afso, even arter dotnet finished installing it left processes running in the background which would take over the shell. I could have simply closed the shell and opened a new one, but would h ave had to specify the new wineprefix again (Step 2). Instaed I simply used ctl-c to get back to a prompt and installed ADE.

I'm not going to remove the warning just yet as I have had no reports of success by others.
