I have heard about programs like Wine that allow Ubuntu users to run .exe files.

Which program should I use, and how should I use it?

Wine allows you to execute a .exe program if you select Wine as a default program for .exe files from Nautilus, open a .exe file using "Open with another application" and select Wine or you execute wine file.exe from terminal.

  • Files do not need to have the executable bit set to be runnable from Wine. Also, the correct command would be chmod +x file.exe to set the executable bit, not -x. – dobey Jun 08 '13 at 23:56
  • You're right, I'll edit. – Leo Jun 09 '13 at 07:58
