Install wine (or wineconsole) without GUI
I want to run a windows exe server application that does not require graphics or sound since it's just a console. Is there a version of Wine/wineconsole or way to install a more minimal version of Wine to just run a console without having to install all of Wine's packages? Thanks
Re: Install wine (or wineconsole) without GUI
On Debian/ Ubuntu, you can get a slightly smaller installation with the --no-install-recommends option
If the application you want to run is 32-bit, you could only install the 32-bit Wine
If this is still too big, you can build Wine yourself with only the dependencies you need.
Code: Select all
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends winehq-stable
Code: Select all
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends winehq-stable:i386
