had not done this for a while so had to learn again; may be of use


To add EAC to a linux set-up --- this tested on Ubuntu and Manjaro [Feb 2024]


Install Wine
-------


➊ Install Wine and if your version of Wine does not have 32-bit do this


1) Open up the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T. And type the following commands:

cd ~
   rm -rf .wine
   rm -f .config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
   rm -rf .local/share/applications/wine
   rm -f .local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
   rm -f .local/share/icons/????_*.xpm

2) Now to set your environment variable and also to create your new 32-bit WINEPREFIX go ahead and type:

   WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg

➋ you will need this for EAC

winetricks -q dotnet20

let this install


➌ install EAC
