How do I install Wine on Amazon Linux AMI?

  • 772

I am trying to install Wine on Amazon Linux AMI.

First I did:

   sudo yum install wine

It said "No wine package available."

Then I did the following:

   sudo rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
   sudo yum install wine -y

At the end of the output I get the following:

...
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: wine-core-1.0.1-1.el5.i386 (epel)
           Requires: libgphoto2_port.so.0

           Requires: libesd.so.0

           Requires: libaudiofile.so.0
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Can you help me to get Wine installed and running?

  1. It seems there's no wine package for Amazon Linux.

    You can always install from source: http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source

    Just install the dependencies needed to build from source with yum.

  2. What is the version of Amazon Linux you are using ?

    Recent Amazon AMI's are based on EL6 upstream. EPEL 6 bundles wine.

  3. I ran across this page while looking for an answer. Here is what I eventually found out:

    1. Modify /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo. Under the section marked [epel], change enabled=0 to enabled=1. You can do this with the command "sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo"
    2. Install WINE with "sudo yum install wine"
    3. Install any dependencies

    See this page for reference: http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/faqs/
