When you find yourself a newbie to the Linux world from perhaps the Windows and try to open an exe file its such a frustration as the file would not run as expected when on Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>

The reasons is simply because you are in a different place where things are don different and would need a bridge framework that would allow you to run exe file in Linux. Thus making your Linux capable of running Windows exe files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are available frameworks and packages for Linux that does the trick and allow you to run your exe file. One such is Wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running exe on Linux with Wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Visit the WineHQ website to download the Wine software for free <\/a>to get started. You would have to select your version of Linux, for instance, Ubuntu<\/a>, Debian<\/a>,Watt<\/a> or your particular version of Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Follow the on-screen setup, and install directions from WineHQ. Each install will vary slightly since Linux operating systems follow their own installation processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Double-click on the installer file. Follow the on-screen directions to install. If the installer file does not launch, open a “Terminal Windows<\/strong>” and type in the file directory; for example “cd ~\/Desktop” followed by “Wine fileinstall.exe” where “fileinstall.exe” is replaced by the file name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Run the .exe file either by going to “Applications,” then “Wine” followed by the “Programs menu,” where you should be able to click on the file. Or open a terminal window and at the files directory,type “Wine filename.exe” where “filename.exe” is the name of the file you want to launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
