I am trying to make use of registax software for astrophotography image stacking on my Macbook. I first installed Wine using Homebrew which hanged on startup due to a known Homebrew Core issue. This led me to directly install Wine
from provided .pkg file. Now, I have registax
running excellently within the Wine
environment.
Before using registax
, I also need to pre-process my Astro images using PIPP software. It is installed via Winebottler. When I downloaded WineBottlerCombo_1.8.6.dmg
, it also includes Wine
app and asks me to drag-and-drop both Wine
and WineBottler
within Applications
folder. But I already have Wine stable
installed as explained above.
My doubts includes:
- Do I also need
Wine
app bundled withWineBottler
? - Is the bundled
Wine
app only used for Mac app package creation byWineBottler
? - Should I just use
Wine
app bundled withWineBottler
and uninstalledWine stable
I previously installed directly fromwinehq
?
Thank You!!!

For anyone stumbling onto this question:
Wine
is bundled withWinebottler
as it is needed to create standalone Mac app packages (this is howwinebottler
works, unsure why it cannot use vanillaWine (stable)
app).So, both are needed:
Wine (stable)
installed viawinehq
to runWine
applicationsWine
installed viawinebottler
to create standalone Mac app packages
