Installing Full Tilt Poker software on Linux with Wine
Full Tilt Poker doesn't provide binaries that run natively on Linux. But with the free software Wine it is possible to execute Full Tilt Poker on Linux. And here you will find a step by step tutorial of how to do that. Let's begin.
What do you need?
- Get the latest Wine version
- Download the Full Tilt Poker Setup for Windows
Hint
We installed PokerStars with Wine 1.1.9 on OpenSuse 11.1 with KDE Version 4.1.3. But other distributions and of course newer Wine versions should also work.
Seven steps to run Full Tilt Poker on Linux with Wine
- Open your shell
- Go to your Wine directory
:~> cd .wine
- Copy the Full Tilt Poker setup file to your Wine directory
:~> cp /home/user/FullTiltSetup.exe /home/user/.wine
- Start the setup with Wine
:~> wine ./FullTiltSetup.exe&
- Follow the instructions of the Full Tilt Poker setup. After the setup is complete, Full Tilt Poker starts the first time. Now you can create a new account or sign in if you already have an account.
- Once installed, you can start Full Tilt Poker from the shell:
:~> wine "C:\Programme\Full Tilt Poker\FullTiltPoker.exe"
- or from the KDE menu (see screencast below)
That's it! Have fun and good luck!
