Installing Wine

[LinuxNoob10]

Hey everyone, i've been trying to figure out how to install Wine but it doesn't make any sense to me, I found these instructions at How to install Wine in OpenSuse 10.3 | SUSE & openSUSE also (below) at but they don't make any sense to me could anyone possibly elaborate on this please?


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install Wine

OpenSuse:/ # yast2 �install wine

Install CabExtract

Cab Extract is a free opensource software to extract Microsoft cab files from installers. This should be installed by default. If so, yast2 will report it to be already installed

OpenSuse:/ # yast2 �install cabextract

To verify installation,

OpenSuse:/ # rpm -qa wine cabextract

wine-0.9.62_aka_1.0.rc1-3.1

cabextract-1.2-57

Now, you are ready to install Windows applications on your OpenSuse 10.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dude
What version of openSUSE are you using

Likely all you need is this from a su terminal

zypper in wine

Go ahead with what I said above

Just in case you don't know how
Become su in Terminal - HowTo

It is much easier to just install it from Yast.

It is much easier to just install it from Yast.

How so exactly?
It's just another option and maybe it's ease relative to 'zypper' is all rather subjective.
