NAME

6       winetricks - manage virtual Windows environments using Wine

SYNOPSIS

9       winetricks [options] [verb ... ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in Wine.
13
14       It  provides  simple  commands  to  tweak  Wine  settings, download and
15       install missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or  install  various  games  or
16       apps with appropriate workarounds for the current version of Wine.
17
18       It  can  be  used  via  GUI  or command line.  The command-line mode is
19       intended both for interactive use and as a building  block  in  fancier
20       Wine frontends and in automated regression testing.
21
22       winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either Zenity or Kdi‐
23       alog.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

119       Wine checks several environment variables on startup:

121       WINE   If set, this specifies which wine binary to use by default
122
123       WINESERVER
124              If set, this specifies which wineserver to use by default
125
126       WINEPREFIX
127              If set, this specifies the location of the default .wine  direc‐
128              tory ( usually $HOME/.wine ).
129
130       XDG_CACHE_HOME
131              If  set,  this  is  path  to  system's user data cache (default:
132              $HOME/.cache)  W_CACHE  path  to  Winetricks'  user  data  cache
133              (default: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/winetricks}
