    [SOLVED] Installing ARTA software

    From absolute importance for me is installing software from ARTA, especially the spectrum analyzer part.
    For that purpose I have installed the Wine software to get the ARTA exefile executable in linux.
    Until now I did not succeed so I need help from this forum to get the job done.
    1. First I downloaded the ARTA exe file and made it executable
    2. And installed wine
    3. Then I tried to run the .exe file and got this error comment
    4. So I installed steam

    As a result I am still getting this error comment and I am certainly doing something wrong or misinterpret something, but what?

    linux does not run windows software.

    wine is one way to try and make an .exe file run under linux but it requires a lot of skill and patience and there is no guarantee.

    a slightly easier option is use bottles (flatpak) to make a "pc" container that will run windows programs if is is set up correctly.

    my suggestion is that if you really need this windows software, then you should dual boot and run it under windows.

    my better suggestion would be to find a linux replacement for whatever this software does and learn how to use that instead, your time would be better spent.

      How did you try to run it?

          Thanks for pointing me to their site. I was there in the past before but did not notice that they added an extra "Notice for Linux and Mac OS X users".
          Executing those steps and after some fiddling (which I cannot recall, sorry) I got it working!
          This because suddenly I noticed the program wine displayed in the Application Launcher. After selecting it I noticed Arte, clicked on it and there it was!

          Also thanks for the other members by giving their suggestions, much appreciated!

            After downloading the .exe program I clicked on its properties and made it "executable". But that was not enough to run the program.
