Teach2000 for Linux

Is your PC running on Linux? We have good news, because there is a possibility to use Teach2000 on Linux.

Wine is an extra layer that makes an application think it is running on Windows, while behind the curtains Linux is running. Teach2000 can be fooled this way!

In order to start Teach2000 on Linux you have to do the following:

Download Wine on www.winehq.org. Select the Wine Binary Development release for your Linux distribution. We tested Wine 1.1.19, but newer versions should work too.
Install Wine like you are used to install applications. Installation can be different on every Linux distribution.
Open a Terminal and verify if the installation was succesful with this command
wine --version
If the installation was succesful you have to install MSXML3 for opening and saving Teach2000 documents. Run from the terminal
wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks msxml3
Installation can take a while, because the software has to be downloaded.
Install extra Microsoft fonts with this command:
wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks corefonts
Download the latest version of Teach2000 from www.teach2000.org.
Install Teach2000 with Wine:
wine '/home/lindistro/Desktop/teach840.exe'
The path to the downloaded installer can be different.
Finished! Teach2000 can be started with a Terminal command:
wine 'C:\Program Files\Teach2000\Teach2000.exe'

Now you can start with your homework :-)
