Installing Wine to run .exe files on Mac

Installing Wine (After Homebrew).md

Install Wine to run .exe files

For Mac OSX

If you haven't installed Homebrew yet do so by following this guide

1. Open a terminal
2. brew install --cask xquartz, wait for it to complete the install, it should ask you for your password before beginning
3. brew install --cask wine-stable , this will take some time to finish so sit back and relax.

For Linux

1. sudo apt-get install wine-stable

Now Wine is installed, to use wine, open a terminal navigate to the exe and type:

wine /path/to/file.exe

Thanks for the instructions, me XVI!
Also on newer homebrew versions, remember that the syntax is brew install --cask wine-stable.

brew cask install wine-stable
Error: Unknown command: cask
I had already installed Homebrew.
Help?

Try: brew install wine-stable ‘Cask’ is depreciation.

brew install --cask wine-stable

Getting error when running brew cask install wine-stable
Error: Cask 'wine-stable' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.
Can anyone help?

you need to install homebrew onto mac https://brew.sh/

The error message would be different if homebrew wasn't installed. Something along the lines of:

% brew
zsh: command not found: brew

To re-install wine-stable, run:

What does brew list tell you? Also try typing “wine” and then hit the tab bar. You might need to hit the tab bar twice to see suggestions. iirc it’s wine64 that you want.

I run into Mac OS security issues. “Wine Stable” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
Any hint?
