Complete guide to running Photoshop CS6 on Ubuntu 13.10

Indra Pratama     10.42    

With the most recent release of Ubuntu 13.10, Saucy Salamander, Canonical has put in a massive effort updating all of the Ubuntu repositories to the most recent software versions.
Problem is, Ubuntu 13.10 is still shipping with old versions of wine.
In this guide, we’ll go through running Adobe Photoshop CS6 on Ubuntu 13.10 – I’ve done this on a amd_64 install (I’m sure it will work on x86)
We will not be doing any dragging/dropping from window – just a clean, fresh install.

Step 1. Install the Wine Team Ubuntu PPA

By installing the Wine Team Ubuntu PPA, we can ensure the version of wine we’re using is suitable and up to date.
To install the wine team PPA, execute the following, one by one:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7 winetricks

Step 2. Using winetricks to get install dependencies for Photoshop CS6

Now that we have the most recent build of wine, we can get started on fetching the necessary build packages to run the Photoshop installer.
Here’s the command to issue and pull those dependencies
winetricks atmlib gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2005 vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2008 ie6 fontsmooth-rgb gecko

If a few errors pop-up, don’t worry – chances are this install will still work.

Step 3. Running the Photoshop CS6 installer

Now that you have all dependencies required to run Photoshop CS6, you can now run the Adobe setup. Either right click Set-up.exe, or from the terminal:
cd /home/user/path/to/installer
wine Set-up.exe
If everything worked as intended, you are now done. Photoshop should install like any other program via wine – It should even automatically appear in your programs list!
