winehq integration with R program running in linux

[gcefalu]

I need to install Proteowizard in linux ubuntu 17.10 (64). It seems that this proteowizard (Linux 64 bit) is not able to convert vendor files. I read an article at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4113728/


I read the following bellow.


"Command line tools may be more convenient for researchers who want to streamline raw file management by creating batch scripts. This alternative protocol illustrates how to accomplish this with the fully-featured “msConvert” executable included in ProteoWizard.


Necessary Resources

The same necessities found in Basic Protocol 1 apply to this protocol, as well. Notably, some attempts to run command line ProteoWizard conversion under WINE (http://www.winehq.org) emulation have been successful, enabling users to convert vendor files within Linux environments."


Is the windows emulation software at (http://www.winehq.org) the only tool available to convert files in a Linux environment. We have an R program that runs in windows and calls the proteowizard converter to convert the raw files. I am going to install this program and all the programs called by our Program , for example Proteowizard, in a linux machine. How will the emulator integrate with the R program so that the R program can call proteowizar conversion tool?

Thanks

Is there a question buried somewhere in that wall of text and multiple references to this website (why???)??

Wine is not an emulator it is a translator or translation layer. Subtle distinction - but important to know none-the-less!

I'd suggest by starting to read the Wine FAQ and Wine User's Guide...

I'd also recommend installing the latest Development release of Wine (2.20) - using the WineHQ Ubuntu Repository...
These are now available for Ubuntu 17.10 ...

Then, if you get stuck, you can post "actual questions" here...

Based on what you posted, the WineHQ repository was added successfully; the errors were all for other repositories that have nothing to do with Wine. Ask on the Ubuntu forum for help cleaning up those errors.
