 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 and OS X. 

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

 "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/. 

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

 On Ubuntu/Debian Type: 

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

 On OS X 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 allow 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 2.0 version of AdiIRC (recommended) type: 

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

 If you downloaded the 32 bit .NET 4.5 version of AdiIRC (not recommended) type: 

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