Install HeidiSQL using Wine under Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS x86_64

It turned out that I used HeidiSQL under Windows, and suddenly changed to Ubuntu to use MySQL Workbench. Compared with MySQL Workbench, I think HeidiSQL is more convenient. HeidiSQL is a graphical interface for simplifying mini MySQL server and database management. The HeidiSQL official website gives runs fine on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10. But there is another sentence that is Running on Wine requires to override Wine's builtin Direct2D library with the native one. So I tried to install HeidiSQL with Wine on Ubuntu, and also successfully installed with crossover, and the compatibility is almost perfect! But crossover can only be used for free for 14 days, of course, if you choose to buy, it is recommended to install with crossover. Here I use the free Wine for installation. The following is the successful installation process for your reference! A

The software store can be installed directly but it is not recommended to install directly. Here we install manually. Specific installation steps are also visibleWine official website installation steps。

Install WineHQ installation package

If you have installed Wine installation packages from other repositories before, please delete it and all installation packages that depend on it (such as wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks) before attempting to install the WineHQ installation package.

If you are using a 64-bit system, please enable 32-bit architecture support (if you have not previously enabled it):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 

And add the warehouse:

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

Update the installation package:

 sudo apt-get update

Then installOne of the following installation packages：

Stable branch:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Development branch:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

Staging branch:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging

If apt-get prompts missing dependencies, please install the missing dependencies first, and then repeat the above two steps (update and install). The file is installed in / opt / wine-devel or / opt / wine-staging.

• 2.2.winecfg configuration

Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) input:

winecfg

Set the Windows version to Windows XP (remember! Remember! Remember!). For the first time, I did not configure the Windows version through winecfg, which caused an error during the installation process and an error BUG. The reason is that the default configuration is Windows 7, and the HeidiSQL official website gives Runs fine on Windows XP. Therefore, it is inferred that Windows 7 configured with winecfg on Ubuntu is not compatible with HeidiSQL. So it is configured as Windows 7.

• Three. Wine install HeidiSQL

Open the terminal and enter:

wine　/home/wangpengcheng/D:Work/Heidisql/HeidiSQL_9.5.0.5289_Setup.exe

Wine is followed by:HeidiSQL_9.5.0.5289_Setup.exe download and store the custom path

At this time, if you are prompted about the lack of Wine related configuration, click Install.

Follow the HeidiSQL installation steps.

You're done! In this way, HeidiSQL is successfully installed under Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS x86_64.
