This way you can install and run other Windows applications compatible with Wine on Raspberry Pi with ExaGear Desktop. Now you can close guest x86 terminal and run MS Word Viewer from the Raspbian start menu. Then in “Wine configuration” window open the “Graphics” tab and unset “Emulate a virtual desktop” checkbox. To do this run winecfg tool from Terminal: $ winecfg You can configure Wine to be able to run MS Word Viewer in a separate window with adjustable size.

Follow the prompts to start the installation.ĩ. Install MS Word Viewer using Wine: $ wine wordview_en-us.exeĪfter a while, you will see the “Default – Wine desktop” window and MS office Word Viewer installer with a dialog window inside. docx format download MS Office Compatibility Pack: $ wget Ĩ. Download MS Word Viewer installer: $ wget Let’s take Microsoft Word Viewer as an example.ħ.
exe files with Wine and get x86 Windows programs installed and running on your Raspberry Pi. Once the installation process is finished make sure that you have the Eltechs build of Wine installed: $ wine -version wine-1.8.1-eltechs Package manager will offer you to install a bunch of packages. Install Wine in Terminal inside the guest system: $ sudo apt-get install wine
It is recommended to update apt-get repositories on the first launch of the guest system: $ sudo apt-get updateĥ. You’re in the x86 environment that can be checked by running the ‘arch’ command: $ arch i686Ĥ. Enter the guest x86 system by entering the following command: $ exagear Starting the shell in the guest image /opt/exagear/images/debian-8 Install and activate ExaGear by running the install-exagear.sh script: $ sudo.

It provides x86 Linux environment on your ARM device making it possible to run x86 Windows apps with Wine.Īnother complexity comes from Raspberry Pi specificity with user/kernel virtual memory split. Windows apps are mostly compiled for x86 CPU architecture and they won’t run on ARM-based Raspberry Pi with Wine. Wine is a compatibility layer that allows running Windows applications on Linux systems ( But when it comes to Raspberry Pi, things are getting a bit more complicated.
