Winetricks is a third party application for A installing games, applications, and various redistributable runtimes on Ubuntu wine. Now we will install the winetricks package. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows binaries to run on x86-based Unixes. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X. Remember those utilities that you installed earlier? Download Wine for free. Winetricks installs Windows software in your Wine environment, or wineprefix. What’s the difference between this and MacPorts? MacPorts installs open source software on your Mac. Winetricks simplifies this process by doing all that tedious work for you. UPDATE: If you also want to install Microsoft Visio on Mac, you can follow our post how to install Visio on Mac running OS X El Capitan.
