h1. Crossover

"Codeweavers Crssover":https://www.codeweavers.com/ has a bottle for AdiIRC which installs all the necessary dependencies for .NET 4.5, seems to work pretty good on both macOS and Linux.

h1. Wine

Installing AdiIRC in "Wine":https://www.winehq.org/ on 64 bit Ubuntu/Debian and macOS.

"Wine":https://www.winehq.org is a Windows compatibility layer which allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux/macOS.

"Winetricks":https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks is a script to help you install various Windows components and programs.

AdiIRC does NOT work in "mono":https://www.mono-project.com/.

It should work on other Linux distributions as well, as long as a recent Wine version is installed.

h2. Install "Wine":https://www.winehq.org/

On Ubuntu/Debian Type:

<pre>
apt-get install wine cabextract
</pre>

_If the wine version in your Ubuntu/Debian repository is old, you can get the latest version from https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu._

On macOS type:

<pre>
# If homebrew is not installed, type
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

# Then install Wine through homebrew
brew install wine
</pre>

h2. Create a 32 bit "Wine":https://www.winehq.org/ prefix

Wine does not work well with running 64 bit .NET applications, so you must create a 32 bit wine folder.

Type:

<pre>
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg
</pre>

h2. Download "Winetricks":https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks

Type:

<pre>
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
</pre>

h2. Install ".NET":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework using "Winetricks":https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks

If you downloaded the 32 bit .NET 4.5 version of AdiIRC, type:

<pre>
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 ./winetricks dotnet45
</pre>

If you downloaded the 32 bit .NET 2.0 version of AdiIRC, type:

<pre>
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 ./winetricks dotnet20
</pre>

h2. Run AdiIRC with "Wine":https://www.winehq.org/

After .NET is installed, you should be able to run AdiIRC by typing:

<pre>
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine AdiIRC.exe
</pre>

h2. Wine themes

It's possible to skin Wine/Windows programs to look more native in a Linux environment, check https://askubuntu.com/questions/219791/improve-gui-appearance-of-wine-applications/756781 for examples.

h2. Headless wine

There has been some success running Wine headless using "xvfb":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb through "screen":https://linux.die.net/man/1/screen.

<pre>
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 screen xvfb-run wine AdiIRC.exe
</pre>

h2. Glitched text selection

If you have glitches when selecting text in the text area, try changing the message font to another font, preferably a monospaced font.
