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 command line. The command-line 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

Don't check whether packages were already installed
Show GUI diagnostics even when driven by the command-line interface
Set OPT to kdialog or zenity to override GUI engine
Install each app or game in its own bottle
Update this application to the last version
Rollback the last self update
Cache ISOs (allows later installation without disc)
Don't install each app or game in its own bottle (default)
Don't delete temp directories (useful during debugging)

Opt out of reporting which verbs you use to the Winetricks maintainers
Don't ask any questions, just install automatically
