winetricks
WINETRICKS(1) Wine package manager WINETRICKS(1)
NAME
winetricks - manage virtual windows environments using wine
SYNOPSIS
winetricks [options] [verb ... ]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
--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
-V, --version
Display version and exit
Commands:
list list categories
apps list
list verbs in category 'applications'
benchmarks list
list verbs in category 'benchmarks'
dlls list
list verbs in category 'dlls'
games list

EXAMPLES

winetricks list-download
To install a package:
winetricks 7zip
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Wine checks several environment variables on startup:
WINEPREFIX
If set, this specifies the location of the default .wine directory ( usually $HOME/.wine ).
WINE If set, this specifies which wine binary to use by default
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}
