Bordeaux for Linux 1.4 Install and Usage Guide

Before you install Bordeaux you must be sure your system meets certain requirements. Any recent Linux distribution that is able to run Wine and GNOME applications should be able to run Bordeaux. Be sure you have the most most recent Wine package installed before using Bordeaux. You can download the correct package for your system from the Wine Download page.

Installing Bordeaux for Linux is a fairly straightforward process. At this time there is only a universal installer that is generic and designed for any Linux distribution. A future revision will include Debian and RPM packages.
Once you have downloaded the Bordeaux Installer you will need to install it from a root or sudo'd terminal. Check your Linux distribution documentation if you are unsure how to become the root user. Then from a terminal simply run

  • sh install-bordeaux-linux-1.4-x86.sh

  • or if you are installing the 64bit version
  • sh install-bordeaux-linux-1.4-x86-64.sh


  • Once you have Bordeaux installed you should have a menu group that looks like the following:

    You can now select the Install Windows Applications menu if you wish to begin installing a supported application. A series of downloads may follow depending on the package you chose

    and if your application installer does not start, you will be presented with a dialog like the following, which will allow you to browse to the path of your applications setup program.
