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 in‐
15       stall missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or install various games or  apps
16       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 in‐
19       tended both for interactive use and as a building block in fancier Wine
20       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:
120
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  (de‐
133              fault: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/winetricks}
