Installing Wine on CentOS linux

Wine is a linux application that allows installation and execution of some native Windows apps. It is not included in the standard CentOS distro, so this is a simple installation tutorial.

0. Either Sudo or login as root on the machine

1. Get the rpmforge rpm (if not already installed)

cd /tmp
wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

2. Install the rpmforge rpm
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

3. Install wine
yum install wine -y enablerepo=rpmforge
 
4. Launch Wine from the Centos Applications menu
