CrossOver is the paid, commercialized version of Wine which provides more comprehensive end-user support. It includes scripts, patches, a GUI, and third-party software which may never be accepted in the Wine Project. This combination makes running Windows programs considerably easier for those aren't so tech-savvy.
Installing Crossover Linux
Tested with trial install-crossover-11.2.1.bin
- Ensure
dbus-python-common,pygtkanddbus-python2are installed.
- Run
# ln -sf /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python
- Finally
$ ./install-crossover-*.binfor single user.
Using CrossOver
Assuming it was installed as user, Crossover binaries should be located in ~/cxoffice.
Some desktop environments like KDE may have automatically placed menu entries as part of the installation process.
Installed programs should be located under a new menu entry called Window Applications.
Tip: If you get a registration failure, try:
# /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxregister. Registration should then complete and be valid for all users on the system.
