Winetricks? (Please read before moving)

Post by vmcauliffe »

I understand that I shouldn't post this here, but I can't find help anywhere else.

Does anyone know how to install winetricks using normal wine on mac. chmod and sh don't work, and the wget isn't even on mac.
Thanks in advance

Just point a web browser at http://winetricks.org/winetricks and then use File->Save Page As...

Hopefully the web browser you use won't wonk up the text and save it simply as text.

You don't really need to move it from wherever your web browser saves it, but you will need to set the executable flag by doing:

chmod a+x winetricks

Then run it from the any command-prompt.

If your web browser isn't cooperative, you can try curl, which is definitely installed by default on a mac:

curl http://winetricks.org/winetricks -o winetricks
