Ok, so, I just got done installing Ubuntu on my computer for the first time. I have to say, it's pretty trippy (in the good way, that is). But, I just realized that I can't open application files like .EXE and shit, which means I can't download Photoshop (which I really want bad). I just checked out GIMP and quite frankly, I'd just really prefer Photoshop over GIMP. So, I tried using some program called Wine but I have absolutely no clue as to how the f*ck it works or how to install Photoshop with it. I went online to look through tutorials and they talk about commands and stuff and I have no idea where the hell to put commands in.
All I want is to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on Linux somehow. Help, please? |

What version of photoshop are you using? The same one that is the in the tutorial I hope. Wine doesn't work well with CS4.

Since that's all I really have. I got really close to actually installing CS4 but the setup got gay on me and encountered another non-detailed error.  Here's a nifty little screenshot.

Wine will work better with older versions. Is the tutorial for CS4? Also, when you run photoshop, you'll be running an exe, and I believe that is located in /home/micheal/.wine/program files/ or something like that. Also, files and folders that begin with . are hidden, so press ctrl h to show them. I'm trying to remember where the C:\ is located in wine. Basically, I would try removing then reinstalling wine, and then just get your exe, right click it, open with wine, and if the installer works, yay, and then find where it was created and try running it. Also, use apt-get, not aptitude. e.g: sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts, but sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts. Thats just my opinion though. |
