Safari is a web-browser developped by Apple. At this time, it’s only available under Mac OSX and MS Winsows. Here is a short tutorial on how-to install it under GNU/Linux using Wine.
The first step is to setup wine, to do so, tou must run the following command :
winecfg
This opens a configuration window. In the application tab, select Windows XP compatibility mode.
Next step is to make sure you have Arial & Times_New_Roman fonts installed, Ubuntu you can execute this command (which will install the fonts)
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
Then you have to install them into your Winedows directory
cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial*.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/ cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Times_New_Roman*.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
You will also need to have MS VC++ runtimes, to install them, you may use winetricks:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks chmod +x winetricks winetricks vcrun2005
Now all you have to do is to setup Safari, previously downloaded via Apple’s Website
wine <command.exe>
![]()
Select Next, Then accept license.
Note : do not install additional software/services as shown below.
![]()
And voila, you now have a perfectly working Safari under linux :
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Safari/Safari.exe
