Wine is an open-source and free application for Linux that allows users to run Windows-based software and games on Unix/Linux-like operating systems.
Recently, the Wine team proudly announced the stable release of version 9.0, which is now available for download as the source and binary packages for various distributions including Linux, Windows, and Mac.
This release reflects a year of hard work and over 7,000 changes, which includes many improvements, with the main highlights being the new WoW64 architecture and the experimental Wayland driver.
In this article, we will show how to install the Wine 9.0 version in RHEL-based distributions such as CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux using source code (difficult and only suitable for experts) and on Fedora Linux using the official wine repository.
Step 1: Installing Dependency Packages
To begin the installation process, you need to install the necessary development tools and libraries, which include packages like GCC, libX11-devel, freetype-devel, zlib-devel, and libxcb-devel.
yum -y groupinstall 'Development Tools' yum install gcc libX11-devel freetype-devel zlib-devel libxcb-devel libxslt-devel
For Fedora users, the commands are slightly different:
dnf -y groupinstall 'Development Tools' dnf -y install gcc libX11-devel freetype-devel zlib-devel libxcb-devel libxslt-
Step 2: Downloading the Wine Source Code
Next, you need to download the Wine source code using the wget command under /tmp directory as a normal user.
cd /tmp wget http://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/9.0/wine-9.0.tar.xz
After downloading the source code, use the following tar command to extract it under /tmp directory.
tar -xvf wine-9.0.tar.xz -C /tmp/
Step 4: Installing Wine from Sources
After extracting the source code, you need to compile Wine from the sources as a normal user.
---------- On 64-bit Systems ---------- cd wine-9.0/ ./configure --enable-win64 make sudo make install ---------- On 32-bit Systems ---------- cd wine-9.0/ ./configure make sudo make install
Install Wine on Fedora Linux Using Wine Repository
For Fedora users, you can install Wine using the official Wine repository by using the following commands.
---------- On Fedora 39 ---------- dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/39/winehq.repo dnf install winehq-stable ---------- On Fedora 38 ---------- dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/38/winehq.repo dnf install winehq-stable
Configuring and Running Wine
Once the installation completes run the “winecfg” configuration tool from GNOME desktop to see the supported configuration. If you don’t have any of the desktops, you can install it by using the below command as the root user.
dnf groupinstall workstation OR yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"
Once the X Window System is installed, run the command as a normal user to see the wine configuration.
winecfg
To run the Wine, you must specify the full path to the executable program or program name as shown in the example below.
--------- On 32-bit Systems --------- wine notepad wine c:\\windows\\notepad.exe
--------- On 64-bit Systems --------- wine64 notepad wine64 c:\\windows\\notepad.exe
Wine is not perfect because while using Wine, we see so many program crashes. I think the Wine team will soon fix all bugs in their upcoming version. Meanwhile, please share your comments using the form below.
Pro tip: You don’t need either the Workstation meta-package or the GNOME desktop in order to run Wine on Fedora.
Hello Ravi,
Could you please me with wine 32 bit installation in Rhel 9.
I have installed wine but I need 32 bit.
I have tried to install using
./configure --enable-wingetting the below error.Could you please guide me to install 32 bit.
@Yogesh,
To install the 32-bit version of Wine on RHEL 9, you’ll need to install the necessary 32-bit development packages installed, particularly those related to Xlib.
After installing the required packages, you can attempt to configure Wine again with the:
This should successfully configure and install the 32-bit version of Wine on your RHEL 9 system.
Can’t we use wine in the KDE desktop environment? Does it require Gnome?
@Harshan,
You can install wine on the KDE desktop as well…

@Sara,
Please install Wine on 64-bit Linux OS, 32-bit won’t support and have different installation instructions..
When ever I try to do step 3, the following error shows up, “Tar: you may not specify more than one ‘-acdtrux’, ‘–delete’ or ‘–test-label’ option. and i followed the steps as it was shown and this pops up,
Please help me.
Thanks!
@Nate,
As the error says, you can’t combine
candroptions together; the former means “create an archive“, the latter “append to an archive“, so they can’t be used simultaneously.You can simply do

Thanks for your wonderful work! I enjoy my wine 1.8 on centos7 64bit. I just carefully followed your instruction. Kodus!
i’ve followed your instruction to install wine in centos7 in order to install Dude one monitoring software for windows, but the wine64cfg did not run at all and said
“Bash: wine64cfg: command not found…
kindly help as this is very important to monitor our network
@Hatem,
It seems you’re compilation was unsuccessful, Please try again and see..
Hi, i have followed all your step, but i get some error message like this “wine: for some mysterious reason, the wine server failed to run.”
could you tell me how to fix it?
@Piseth,
Sorry to hear that, could you please show me the error while running wine, so that we can help you out..
I do all the steps, but after execute make and compile the wine, install, … , i can’t run wine64cfg. What have to do?
@Icaro,
Did you’ve seen any error during wine compilation? any error message throwing while running wine64cfg?
Why is all of this being done in the /tmp directory? The /tmp directory is pretty limited on many machines.
:When i configure wine its giving error:
configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries
i am on centos 7 64 bit OS
Please advise

It seems you are installing 32-bit wine on 64 system. Please follow 64-bit commands as described in the article.
Hello Sir,
i used centos 6.4 32 bit and i want to install wine
i follow all the steps according you to suggest
./tools/wineinstall when i execute this command as local user system continuous process till 1 hour but no response
suggest
Yes it takes plenty of time, but that too depend upon your hardware configuration, in the middle it will prompt you to enter root password.
hi guys i got solution for centos users 1st update your epel from here
https://www.tecmint.com/how-to-enable-epel-repository-for-rhel-centos-6-5/
and then just use this command and all done 100% fine
yum install wine* -y
enjoy!
Running Fedora 20 64bit and this guide works fine. Thanks alot :)
I installed wine 1.6.2 got everything working the way it needs to for now. installed league of legends using playonlinux, now i can log into it see the UI and enter champion select. Once the game starts the game crashes, and asks me to reconnect. Do you have any idea how to resolve the crash?
im using CentOS 6.5 final BTW forgot to add that.
in step 2 the address is….
wget -c http://citylan.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wine/Source/wine-1.7.9.tar.bz2
used to download wine 1.7.9….
For anyone who meet the disturbing “/usr/local/bin/winecfg: line 52: exec: wine: not found” error:
the reason is that you are installing wine(32bit) on a 64 bit machine. two solutions:
One:
As the error info itself suggest, just do:
vim /usr/local/bin/winecfg
on line 52 you’ll find this command
exec wine “$appname” “$@”
Then replace the word “wine” with “wine64”
Two:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/wine64 /usr/local/bin/wine
there is no “wine” in /usr/local/bin, so just make oneXDDD
Thanks for your instructions and thanks for Wine.
I’m kind of new here,
I have installed wine successfully, but there is nothing on the Desktop (gnome) and when I type in $ winecfg it says :
/usr/local/bin/winecfg: line 52: exec: wine: not found
would you please help me ?
tnx
either just replace line 52 of winecfg from “wine” to “wine64”, or make a soft link wine64 -> wine
I did till
# yum groupinstall “X Window System” “GNOME Desktop Environment”
I installed everything then what I’m suppose to do? If I run “winecfg” there it shows an error like :
“/usr/local/bin/winecfg: line 52: exec: wine: not found”
In my “GNOME Desktop Environment” application list there is no “X Window System” or “winecfg”.
I lost there.Please help me.
Seems your architecture doesn’t compiled properly. Better install wine via yum using epel repository.
Wine 1.7.9-development release was Installed successfully on fedora 20 32/64 bit , centos 6.5 64bit and opensuse13.1 64bit , moving on to debian 7.3 64bit.
Hi Mr. Salve,
Did you try yum install wine.
It worked for me in fedora 20 kde spin.
installed wine 1.7.5-1.fc20 in 10 minuts including downloading.
simon
I installed successfully using this way, thanks!
But… how to remove after I installed this?
Find and remove all wine files manually, that’s the only way to remove it.
Really helpful info. I installed successfully wine 1.7.3 in fedora 19.
in the middle it said some packages are missing. I installed through yum install package name…
Thanks Ravi.

Hanumantha Rao.
I installed wine, but when i give the command winecfg it says
usr/local/bin/winecfg: line 52: exec: wine: not found
can you please help me.
Which OS architecture you using?
centos 6.0 x64
Thank you so much.
We are able to run exe in Linux with the given steps
hi,
had problem when installing on centos 64bit. I think winecfg cannot work because after compiling only wine64 file available and not wine. The winecfg script look for wine not wine64.
after make a link (ln -s) wine to wine64 then winecfg works…
Dear Ashibr,
Thanks for such great findings. we really appreciate your work..
hi
in cent OS 6.4 line 52: exec: wine: not found
as per ash comment what is the command for linking wine to wine64
i tried ln -s wine64 wine
and
ln -s wine wine64
both not worked and still i get line 52: exec: wine: not found
Which OS architecture you using?
what does OS architecture means
iam using cent OS 6.4 final
Its 32 or 64 bit architecture?
cent OS 6 final for x86_64
so architecture is 64 bit

Hey Ravi, thanks for creating this write up!
I’m installing wine 1.7.2 in CentOS 6.4 x86_64 and there’s many 32bit (i686) package requirements as seen here: http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh
Installing those i686 packages seems to screw up compiling other software which needs the x86_64 packages. Do you know if it’s okay to compile wine on one system and just copy the compiled source to another system (one which does not have all those compile dependency pkgs installed), do the make install there, and run the wine binary there properly? If wine depends on dynamically linked libraries, perhaps this will not work?
followed your instruction, I installed wine-1.7.2 in redhat 6.
because some reason, I need to unistall wine.
is there any solution that can remove wine completely ?
Would you provide the command, tks.
from within wine source directory:
sudo make uninstall
i have completed the wine configurations followed everything but its not still working on centos 6.4
64 bit Linux XXXXXXXXX 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 22 00:31:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
sir hardly try to install wine but i am fail..what should i do ????
when i run groupinstall command than my system get error.
yum -y groupinstall ‘Development Tools’
warning: Group Development does not have any packages
“no package in any requested group are available to install or update”
and if whenever i try to install wine
than get does not configure error……..
i have using RHEL 6.4
please help me..
Try to run this command and let me know.
Dear Ravi,
$make is not working so i m using with $ sudo make its take a several min. is it right or not?
Yes it takes 20-30 minutes to compile it. Please be patient and after this do a make install.
once i got to the #makeinstall step i get messed up b’cause i changed to root user now its all messed up and as a noob to linux(installed fedora 19 this morning) im super confused help please
Is there any error you getting or you totally confuse? Where you not able to understand tell us.
Sir,
I install oracle linux. when i install wine 1.7.0 (./configure –enable-wine64). than error msg come= no suitable bison found. Please install the “bison” package.
The error clearly saying that you don’t have suitable bison package installed, install it via package manager tool YUM.
Error:-[root@hpcs wine-1.7.0]# winecfg

Hello, what is the command to uninstall it ?
Thanks,
Go to source directory run command as.
Ravi,
Following your install cuidlines for Centos 6 32 bit, on running the .tools/wineinstall command I get the following warning:

hi,
plz help me how to install wine in redhat 6.3 step by step.
Follow these steps, it will work on redhat 6.4 also.
I’m stepping through the instructions, as a CentOS 6.4 x64 newb and am missing the 32 bit libraries – I really hoped that wine was going to be an x64 program but since it’s 32 bit, can anyone please tell me how to (and where to get) install the 32 bit development libraries and how/where that fits in into this tutorial.
Thanks!
I think I got it figured out! Took some doing but I got the ‘./tools/wineinstall’ command to take without erroring out finally.
That’s good, you sorted out yourself..

Sir,
i got a problem in my internet connection . i have dual boot partition(windows XP and Linux 5.2) but when i try to connect my broadband internet connection it doesn’t work in linux but in windows it works. i got motherboard cd but how to install linux port driver ,etc and what r the commands for it .please let me know so that i can connect my net too.
thanks
Go to the Network settings from Application Menu and select broadband connections and follow the wizard setup.
I cud not run the command “winecfg”
i was getting error”command not found”
Please let me know the solution.
wine is not properly compiled and installed. Please try installing wine from epel repository.
Hi,
I tried that earlier and it gives this response.
Package gcc-4.1.2-54.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
So i tried installing specific version of gcc.
Thanks
I think latest Wine is not compatible with your currently running distro, instead of compiling, install via yum using epel repository

I tried installing gcc using sudo yum install gcc4.4.4 but throws error that no No package gcc4.4.4 available.
How do i get over this?
Don’t add version while installing, just use.
actually, this is not good idea. First, one should upgrade these old packages in RHEL 6… For example libxml2 development file needed for Google Earth.. Try this – it is not possible without messing with the whole system.
thats what i did
./configure –enable-win64 error”requires 32 bit lib”
make build complete
make install install complete

Install gcc package and try again..
I’m at step 4: installing wine 1.5.26
It says:
Step 4: Installing Wine 1.5.26
It is recommended to compile and build Wine installer as a normal User. Run the following commands as normal user. (Note : The installer might take up-to 20-30 minutes and in the middle it will ask you to enter root password).
$ cd wine-1.5.26/
$ ./tools/wineinstall
I extracted (step 3) wine with a normal user account, otherwise it says you need to install wine from a normal account. And if I do that, i have to re-extract wine from the normal user account. But when I try again ./tools/wineinstall, the server says:
We need to install Wine as the root user. Do you want us to build Wine,
‘su root’ and install Wine? Enter ‘no’ to build Wine without installing:
By both yes or no, it doesn’t do anything.
When it ask to build Wine as root user, simply Type “Yes”. In the middle of build process it will ask you to provide root password.
Can you post the output of the command?

I think you using 64-bit system and building 32-bit Wine on 64 seems buggy now. So, you need to compile and build the Wine, simple run the following commands to compile it.
It doesn’t work?

Of course man, you should be in wineinstall directory to compile it.

Hi Ravi
$ ./configure –enable-win64

$ make

Both give errors for not having permissions to create directories at various places. Is there something in configure that can be changed for this?

The source directory is not writable. You probably extracted the sources as root.
You should remove the source tree and extract it again as a normal user.
How do I remove the source tree?
Thanks in advance!
just remove the extracted directory.
Where should I look for the extracted directory?
I cannot find it from the file searcher.
I looked for all files with “wine”
I deleted all the files that I could delete, but there were some files I could not delete.
The exe files I find are not deletable, either.
Where you have download and extracted. delete that extracted directory. probably in cd /tmp directory.
How do I remove it?
I could not find it under “wine” in all my files, and it does not give me permission to delete the exec_wine.png’s

pls give a solution.
It seems that you using Centos 6.2 64Bit, and you building wine-x64 version on 32bit system. So, better use as.
Thanks for helping..
This option is working… after that I get the another error. the error is

May be some bug with latest wine version, its better to go with epel repository to install wine.
Sir,
I install wine package through EPEL Repo, that instaltion is completed. after installation I try Notpad.exe its working. But I trying to install gtalk, windows media player not support some error coming.
Will you FINALLY update the article with this edit for X64 users!!!???
I got the way out of it. I read the README and following it. Only “./tools/wineinstall” will not do everything to complete the wine build. It has to be configured, make and make install further steps are,
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
now I got full list of wine cmds along with winecfg. I hope I’ll be done now with wine.
I am glad that it worked finally..
Sorry, its not done yet.

Hi Ravi,
I was just expecting help from you… any ways thanks for THE reply. You may delete this post also. I will let you know if i get success with wine. Thanks bro :)
I think it may be bug in wine 1.5.23, better to install wine through epel repository. Just enable epel repository and install wine using yum.
Hi Ravi,
The only error I faced and mentioned earlier also is abt 32 bit freetype-devel as my Cent OS 6.3 is 64bit so I installed it with i686 and wine build was completed successfully with no more errors.
Hi Ravi,
I did that already. here is the o/p

Warning: Group kde-desktop does not have any packages.
No packages in any requested group available to install or update
:(
I think kde desktop already installed, why not try “xstartup” command to check.
Yes, KDE is installed and working fine. In fact I am using the full fledge GUI but after no error build I cant find winecfg utility. I can browse all folders of wine under my user dir but stuggeling to find way to configure further with wine. If I type win it doesn’t even show any cmd related to wine. I think I am missing something…
Hi Ravi,
FYI. Though I got KDE desktop cmd # yum groupinstall “X Window System” “KDE (K Desktop Environment)” given shows all files with latest version and
Warning: Group x11 does not have any packages.
Warning: Group KDE (K Desktop Environment) does not exist.
Am I missing something…?
First search for KDE in group-list.
if it’s available try to install it using.
Hello Ravi,
Wine build is completed after Step 4. But can’t move further with winecfg. It gives command not found I have tried to run with root also but not succeded. Need help for further configuration. I got Cent OS 6.3 64bit.
Earlier I faced 32 bit freetype error msg, for which I installed freetype i686 and completed the build process successfully. Now need directions for further config.
Thanks in advance.
Did your ./tools/wineinstall compilation script completed successfully without any errors?
Hey
just tried to install wine, but got these errors
-bash: cd: wine-1.5.5/: No such file or directory
-bash: ./tools/wineinstall: No such file or directory
Can you help me please?
Sorry, there was typo error in the article, due to this you may get the above error. now its corrected, can you try again those commands and update me.
Hmm… doesn’t work for me. I still get the same error. Maybe I’m mistaken about the way to enter these commands, I’m a newbie. I entered them the following way:
cd wine-1.5.5/
./tools/wineinstall
I don’t need to set the $ in front of the command, do I? Can it be that the version 1.5.5 doesn’t work at all? Instead should I use your version (1.5.23)?
Greetings

You don’t have C compiler and build tools, first install them like.
Then compile and build Wine as normal user.
Not working with # yum groupinstall “Development Tools”
What error you getting, can you post the output of the yum command.

how to install Development Tools CentOS DVD no have please help me
Hi,
Im having this problem when I run
./tools/wineinstall and also ./configure
configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built
without X support, which probably isn’t what you want. You will need
to install development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least.
Use the –without-x option if you really want this.
please help
thanks
@Ariel Chiong,
You need to install X11 and freetype development files with flex and bison packages. install them using YUM command.

I can see now its installing, I give you an update once done. again Thank you
@Ariel Chiong,
Marry Christmas you too. Thanks.. its worked.
Hi SIr, just a question, do you know an article or an tutorial regarding in LDAP in RedHat? server and client tutorial. I cant seem to find any here on this website. thanks in advanced.
@Ariel Chinong,
We are working on LDAP and Client setup on one of our Linux Box. We will soon made this available for you..
I came across the same problem but even after installing libX11-devel, freetype-devel, flex and bison could not solve the problem. Then I found that as my machine is 64 bit CentOS-6.2, I need to install the 32 bit version of the mentioned programs. Here is the command for 64 bit centos/fedora/red-hat:
yum -y install libX11-devel.i686 freetype-devel.i686 flex bison
trouble with wine startup
i have installed wine through the yum utility in fedora 17 and now have upgraded the package.
the wine installer or any other application except the wine configuration they don’t even startup i had removed my ~/.wine configuration and after that when i try to install *.exe program again, it appears saying “updating the wine configuration” then that dialog disappears and nothing happens after that.
really stuck help me …
(the wine was not working before upgrading not even after update)
thanks in advance
@KP,
I think there might be a bug in the latest release of wine. So, I suggest you to follow the below link for help.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wine?rd=AndreasBierfert/Wine
in redhat linux 6.0
configure: error: no suitable flex found. Please install the ‘flex’ package.
Configure failed, aborting install.
@Chandan,
try to install flex using ‘yum install flex’
Dear Ravi,
when I am trying to install this command
./tools/wineinstall
your flex version is too old please install flex version 2.5.33 or newer
and after this error I install flex through this command
yum install flex
but the system say
package flex-2.5.4a.fc6.i386 a;ready installed and latest version
nothing to do
Update your system and try again..
I am using CentOS 5.8 and not upgrading. what is solution to this flex?
Upgrade your OS to latest version.
hello,
After executing above command ‘yum install flex’ I got following error would you please tell me what to do further…
Can you post the error here, so i could help you out.
i got following error after installation.
/usr/local/bin/winecfg: line 52: exec: wine: not found
That means, you’ve followed 32-bit instructions on 64-bit system. Please follow 64-bit installation instructions.
No, i followed 64-bit instructions on 64-bit system.
Which OS distro you using?
If you installed the 64 bit version of wine try running your commands with the 64 bit version of wine:
32-Bit: $ winecfg
64-Bit $ wine64cfg
Try downloading Putty.exe to the desktop :
32-Bit: $ wine putty.exe
64-Bit $ wine64 putty.exe
Correction to “64-Bit $ wine64cfg”
64-Bit $ wine64 winecfg
Thanks, corrected in write-up.
Great article well presented. I have successfully installed it on my Fedora 17 Linux.
Thanks…
