@
HotRod19579 I would just like to thank you for your continuing support of this great calculator and your amazing contribution to the DIY community.
I can happily report that I've been running the juice Calculator without any problems including automatic updates, under Linux (Fedora 23 and 24). I'm going to post the
short and simple guide how to most easily get it up and running with wine, feel free to post it in the main page if you want. I've tried using a virtual machine as well, but the experience was choppy and underpar, running it under wine is in another league. The guide is Fedora specific but should work the same for other distros if slightly adjust the terminal commands to represent the package manager the distro is using.
How to install
1. su
//input superuser password
2. dnf install wine
3. dnf install winetricks
4. rm -rf ~/.wine
//this step is redundant, you can skip it
5. exit //just once to exit superuser mode, make sure you don't miss this and proceed to the next steps without root access
6. WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
7. winetricks dotnet452 //
you can now install dotnet46 as well
8. wine /home/user/Downloads/Setup.exe
//input the actual directory containing the Setup for the juice calculator
9. exit
That's it really, a couple of next prompts to follow during the installation and you're good to go, shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. A shortcut will be created in your App Drawer and you'll be able to use the app without any hassle.
Bugs
- I forgot to mention that the menu bar buttons are not always functioning properly, so best stick with using the tool bar equivalents.
- There is a confirmed bug, in which you cannot add ingredients if you choose "Add to shopping list" from the menu bar. The workaround for this is to open the Shopping list from View -> Shopping List and everything is working as intended in there.
- Everything else seems to work correctly
