How to Install Winetricks

Probably a post I should have done at the start – but people have been asking so here is a quick Winetricks howto.  NOTE: Winetricks (since version 1.3.14) should now be automatically installed alongside Wine via your distro repositories – though if you compile your own Wine or would simply like to update winetricks manually to the latest development svn, open a terminal and execute:

# rm -f winetricks
# wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
# sudo cp winetricks /usr/bin
# sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/winetricks

to download the latest development svn, use this for the second line above

# wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/

If you have anything to add to this game test, please feel free to comment. Do post your Wine Version, Linux Flavour and graphics card drivers = NVIDIA or ATI! Help each other out and be nice to one another :)
