winetricks

winetricks [options] [verb ... ]

winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in Wine.

It provides simple commands to tweak Wine settings, download and install missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or install various games or apps with appropriate workarounds for the current version of wine.

It can be used via gui or commandline. The commandline mode is intended both for interactive use and as a building block in fancier wine frontends and in automated regression testing.

winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either Zenity or Kdialog.

--force

Don’t check whether packages were already installed

--gui

Show gui diagnostics even when driven by commandline

-k, --keep_isos

Cache isos (allows later installation without disc)

--no-clean

Don’t delete temp directories (useful during debugging)

--no-isolate

Don’t install each app or game in its own bottle

-q, --unattended

Don’t ask any questions, just install automatically

-r, --ddrescue

Retry hard when caching scratched discs

--showbroken

Even show verbs that are currently broken in wine

-v, --verbose

Echo all commands as they are executed

-h, --help

Display this message and exit

Wine checks several environment variables on startup:

WINE

If set, this specifies which wine binary to use by default

WINEPREFIX

If set, this specifies the location of the default .wine directory ( usually $HOME/.wine ).

XDG_CACHE_HOME

If set, this is path to system’s user data cache (default: $HOME/.cache) W_CACHE path to Winetricks’ user data cache (default: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/winetricks}
