Have anybody succeed installing Subtitle Edit in Wine?

  • 772

Subtitle Edit has a Linux version, but it doesn't work properly, so I tried to install it through Wine. But there was some problems, don't remember exactly, it was something about 32 - 64 bit, I remember that I tried to figure this out but couldn't. My PC is 64 bit.
I used to switch to Windows to use this application, but I fed up with Windows 10: new update, new problem, no internet now, both cable and mobile.

  1. Subtitle Edit installs reasonably well on Focal Fossa 20.04 without installing Wine. The Subtitle Edit web site suggests the following dependencies be installed first before installing the application itself:

    sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install libhunspell-dev
sudo apt-get install libmpv-dev
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get install vlc 
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

    These installed easily enough under Focal Fossa on my test system. The main application can then be installed either to /usr/local or, as I suggest below, in the user's $HOME/bin:

    mkdir $HOME/bin && cd $HOME/bin
wget https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/3.5.18/SE3518Linux.zip
unzip SE3518Linux.zip

    I did not bother with setting a Desktop file with icons and the like, although this could be done easily enough I suspect. A double click on the file $HOME/bin/SubtitleEdit.exe opened up the application well enough as you can see from the screenshot below:

    Hopefully this will work as easily on your own system...
