Ubuntu – How to install Photoshop CS5

photoshopwine

I copied all of the files like in this tutorial, but I have no luck launching PS. I also tried running the installer with WINE, but needed AIR and it wouldn't connect to the adobe servers.

Also, I (think I) removed all of the libraries I installed with winetricks (except for the VC++ ones) and deleted the files I copied from my Windows machine. This is all perfectly safe, right?

Install it through Playonlinux but not as effective as in Windows. Open your terminal and type: sudo apt-get install playonlinux and ENTER. Open Playonlinux from you 'Dash Home' and look for Photoshop cs5 or other version you are willing to install to your system and follow instruction on screen.After that go back to your 'Dash Home', click on Photoshop to run it.

I think Playonlinux has even a patch should in case the program did not run perfectly. It does it better than the others.
