I recently ran across ejuice Me Up but, I don't own a Windows machine with high enough screen resolution that will run it since I'm a Linux user. I noticed the programs page has a link to this site for Linux installs but was void of any real info and Closed. Since the install on Linux is a great deal more difficult then normal, I hope to save some Linux users some frustration and cursing Linux for problems created by Microsoft. Namely making the dotnet install more complicated then it's worth.
Don't confuse these directions the same as me recommending this "Piece of Soft"! This software depends on Microsoft .NET 3.5 which should never be installed on a production machine! The author of this program has taken no allowance for portability and is not POSIX compliant! There are only two ways to install this without hosing your machine in the future! DO NOT INSTALL IN THE DEFAULT $HOME/.wine (Prefix) DIRECTORY! And never run WINE as root. If you are looking for a sandbox install that won't harm anything else please use: http://zerowine.sourceforge.net
These instructions will install a fully working version of ejuice Me Up and DotNET 3.5sp1 in its own private directory away from any existing wine installs. Also included are commands that will make the uninstall painless as well. This install process was tested on Ubuntu v12.04 and Ubuntu v13.04 but, should also work on any Debian based OS.
The basic install steps are:
If you have tried to install Ejuice Me Up previously then these commands will remove that install. If not move onto the next step.
Update and/or Install Wine and Winetricks
Use Winetricks to install Micro$oft DotNET 3.5sp1
This will take at least 30 minutes and require at least 3GB Free in your home directory
Download and Install Ejuice Me Up into it's own prefix=(ejuicemeup)
Take Ejuice Me Up for a test drive
Create start up shell script
Download Ejuice Me Up Icon for Shortcuts
Create Shortcut (.desktop file) On Desktop
Create Shortcut (.desktop file) For Unity Launcher
Uninstall Process.
