    Installing wine for crossover eveonline

    hi
    Am a Windows user and used to the pc doing the work.
    I am trying to install wine-1.0.1.tar.bz2 but Have absolutly no clue how to do it. Never used the command line. And reading the how to is not workingfor me its almost like jiberisch.
    Have Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) downloaded the right one for my system(i think) in the add/remove software its just gray and wont let me add it. Used archive Manager what do I have to do to install it?? I havent tried running any commands last time i installed something my pc was broke for 2 months

    There should be no need to compile Wine from source. It's generally better to let the Package manager do the work. For Ubuntu that would be Syanptic. If the program is greyed out, you may need to enter your password to allow it. Or, from command line, execute:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install wine

    If you are connected to the Internet, you can easily install WINE with one of the following 2 ways:
    Go to System->Administration->Synaptic. Search for wine, mark it for installation and press APPLY. If it asks you to install dependencies, click Yes.
    Also go to System->Administration->Update Manager to update all your programs.

    From the terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal):
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get install wine
    The first 2 commands will give you the newest available versions for ALL your programs (Firefox, Openoffice, GIMP,everything else...). The 3rd will install wine.

    There is also a new version 9.04 of Ubuntu available, which has many improvements over 8.04 and newer versions of programs. You can download it here.
