# running a client or server in wine

Several Linux and macOS users have found success running hydrus with Wine. Here is a post from a Linux dude:

Some things I picked up on after extended use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Wine is kinda retarded sometimes, do not try to close the window by pressing the red close button, while in fullscreen.
|
||
|
|
* It will just "go through" it, and do whatever to whats behind it.
|
||
|
|
* Flash do work, IF you download the internet explorer version, and install it through wine.
|
||
|
|
* Hydrus is selfcontained, and portable. That means that one instance of hydrus do not know what another is doing. This is great if you want different installations for different things.
|
||
|
|
* Some of the input fields behave a little wonky. Though that may just be standard Hydrus behavior.
|
||
|
|
* Mostly everything else works fine. I was able to connect to the test server and view there. Only thing I need to test is the ability to host a server.

Installation process:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Get a standard Wine installation.
|
||
|
|
2. Download the latest hydrus .zip file.
|
||
|
|
3. Unpack it with your chosen zip file opener, in the chosen folder. Do not need to be in the wine folder.
|
||
|
|
4. Run it with wine, either though the file manager, or though the terminal.
|
||
|
|
5. For Flash support install the IE version through wine.
