I am trying to install internet explorer on my ubuntu 18 [duplicate]

  • 772

So I am trying to install Internet Explorer on my ubuntu 18. I followed these steps from here

sudo apt-get install wine cabextract
wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz

As I got the ies4linux-latest.tar.gz file and tried to gunzip and untar it, I am getting the below error : 

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

Which means that the file is not properly gzipped and its an HTML or binary or some code. In my case it's an HTML code. So I opened it and had a 1800 line of code.

I tried other links to find the source file but I can't.

    The host of that file at http://www.tatanka.com.br now advises

    "The new Internet Explorer and Edge can not be run on Wine anymore"

    Instead, they recommend

    "So Microsoft has its own VMs for this:"

    https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

    "Virtual Box, vagrant, VMWare and others are supported."
