Installing Wine to run .exe files on Mac

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

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