Re download Wine, there is an uninstaller available in the virtual disk that's loaded when you open the.dmg file. Jan 19, 2018 How to Install and Uninstall Software on a Mac. You might feel frustrated once you have it—how do you install it? But, one of the best things about using a Mac is how easy it is to install. Before you install Wine, make sure that there is no previous Wine installation on your system, either from a package or from source. If you haven't yet installed Wine, you should be fine. Many Linux distributions come with an included Wine package, but due to Wine's rapid development rate these are usually old and often broken versions.
- Dec 13, 2011 Thank you for your suggestions. I am a newbie with a mac and there are just some windows based applications that I need, but don't have alot of hd space or ram, so I was trying to avoid using bootcamp or a vm. From what I read on how to install Wine, it seems so complicated, but I didn't want to have to pay alot for crossover.
- The second command will remove your configuration in your home directory, do not run that second command if you intend to re-install wine. With apt-get you have 2 options to remove a package. Remove removes the package, but leaves the configuration files in place. Purge removes the package + configuration files.
- .NET Core will install and run on macOS - and just about any other desktop OS. IDEs are available for the mac, including: Visual Studio for Mac; VS Code (free, but not as professional/focused as VS) Jetbrains Rider (paid) Mono is a good option that I've used in the past.

If some product or feature requires you to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it. This example shows macOS Catalina version 10.15 build 19A583.
How Do I Know If Wine Is Installed Machines
How-To Geek Forums / Apple / OS X
Dear,
i had been searching and tried many times form various sources to install and make Wine on Mac OSX, but every time i failed. i am not too much of a geek, but thing is i have not also found a proper article how to install wine on mac which explains the complete process in an easy way, i once had almost had it installed but when i tried to install softwares like MSN Live messenger, or yahoo messenger or other softwares i know something had went wrong and i was not able to runt he programs on my wine. i know you guys a good and everyday i love to read your articles and become a so called 'GEEK' lol. but i really need wine on my mac as i have windows installed thru parallels and partition also they work very fine but thing is it need lot of resources (RAM and memory) to run which makes both Mac as well as Windows slower. and i cannot enjoy using either of them. so if you guys can pin point me in right direction if you have worked on it before or maybe make a new article with proper and easy to understand instructions it would be great!!!

But I'll ask the simplest question. Why WINE?
It might sound like a little investment, but do it. Either dual-boot your Mac with Windows, or install Windows in a VM, such as Parallels Desktop (google it). Works great in both cases. EDIT: Just re-read your post. Which softwares are you trying to run? Windows Live Messenger should have a Mac version, and if not, you can use an alternative, such as Pidgin, which has a Mac version.
If you need full utilization of resources, install Windows using Boot Camp, and dual boot your Mac with Windows.
thanks guys, i gave up wine and i tried Parallels desktop 7 but then finally resorted to VMWare Fusion, much better software. i installed windows xp on it just keep windows lighter, and stop it using so much of my resources when using both at same time.
@ hatryst thanks but the softwares which you are talking about like live messenger for MAC is a pieces of crap, it keeps crashing, doesn't support offline messageing, and many other cool features are missing, more over i have better alternative to live messenger like trillian or palringo. they are all free and available in appstore. more over only for these software i won't be installing windows, its mostly my work softwares like for accounting or managing warehousing etc. they all do not have MAC versions, and moreover in my office i am the only one with MAC, so can't change to any other alternative also.
Thanks anyways guys, but installing wine is really very hard, and i think its not worth your time, better resort to other alternatives like Parallels desktop or VMWare Fusion, for some reason i prefer VMWare Fusion as parallels desktop need to be updated regularly with each MAC major software update. happened to me when i updated from Snow Leopard to Lion and mind it it was paid update from parallels desktop, but then i found VMWare and it did not needed to be purchased again when i updated from Lion to Mountain Lion.

Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system (macOS or OS X)? Is it using the version required by some product or feature? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent) than the version currently installed? To find out, learn which version is installed now.
If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.
Which macOS version is installed?
From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You'll see the macOS name, such as macOS Mojave, followed by its version number. If some product or feature requires you to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.

Which macOS version is the latest?
These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Catalina. And as updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.
If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.
