About Wine:

Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows. Wine is still under active development. Not every program works yet, however there are already several million people using Wine to run their software.

 

Wine will always be free software. Approximately half of Wine's source code is written by volunteers. The rest is sponsored by commercial interests, especially Codeweavers who sell a supported version of Wine.

 

How to Install Wine (in RedHat/CentOS/Fedora):

 

1. Login as a root

(or run following command to switch to root user, if you are logged in by Non-privileged user)

 

sudo -i
