trq Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Considering the fact that this 'linux xp 2007' appears to be a Fedora derivative I would assume yum is the package manager. Therefore, use yum to install wine. If you don't know about yum yet try... man yum in your term.

trq Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Did you take a look at the manual page for yum as stated? You'll need to run something like: yum install wine Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/138819-need-to-install-wine-to-open-exe-files/#findComment-725955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

neogranas Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 If you are running a Fedora or Red Hat-based system, you can type this in a terminal: su - yum install wine That will install wine itself and any dependencies it needs. Then you can double click on an .exe file that is anywhere on your system, not just the virtual windows environment it creates.
