PlayOnLinux on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
PlayOnLinux is a little program conceived to ease installation of Windows games on GNU / Linux with Wine. This article explain how to install this software on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.
Fast and obfuscated
At first, initialize your sudo environment :
sudo echo
Then, copy / paste the following command lines in your terminal :
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/feisty-winehq.list
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine zenity unzip wget lynx
wget http://playonlinux.ovh.org/script_files/PlayOnLinux_1.7.2.deb --output-document=/tmp/PlayOnLinux_1.7.2.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/PlayOnLinux_1.7.2.deb
You can now find the shortcut to PlayOnLinux in the Games menu.
Installation
At first, we add the Wine repository to apt's configuration :
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/feisty-winehq.list
We install the GPG key signing this repository :
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
We update the list of available packages :
sudo apt-get update
We install PlayOnLinux dependencies (if necessary) :
sudo apt-get install wine zenity unzip wget lynx
Once this done, we download the PlayOnLinux package :
wget http://playonlinux.ovh.org/script_files/PlayOnLinux_1.7.2.deb --output-document=/tmp/PlayOnLinux_1.7.2.deb
And we install it :
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/PlayOnLinux_1.7.2.deb
You can now find the shortcut to PlayOnLinux in the Games menu.
