Welcome to dbForge Edge tutorials.
In this video, we will show you how
to install and run dbForge 
Edge on Ubuntu using Wine.
To be able to run dbForge Edge on Ubuntu 
using Wine, you'll need to follow a series of
steps. Begin by installing Wine, which enables 
running Windows applications on Ubuntu. Next,
install Winetricks, a handy tool for managing 
Wine packages. Use Winetricks to install the .NET
package, which is essential for running dbForge 
Edge. After completing these prerequisites,
proceed to download the dbForge Edge installation 
package from the official website. Then, run the
downloaded installer and complete the installation 
process. And finally, run the required dbForge
Studio that comes with the dbForge Edge pack.
Let us look at these steps in more detail.
To install Wine, first, open the Terminal.
Now we need to make sure our package lists are 
up to date. So we run the corresponding command.
Next, we add the WineHQ 
repository and install Wine.
After the installation is complete,
you can check the Wine version to verify 
that it has been installed correctly.
Now we enter a command to run Wine 
in a separate 64-bit environment.
This creates a custom Wine directory 
and launches the configuration tool.
Wine does not automatically install the 
Mono package required for .NET applications
to work correctly. Therefore, it 
displays the following dialog.
Click Cancel. We will be using Winetricks 
to install and run .NET libraries.
Well, Step 1 is done; now, we are ready 
for Step 2 – getting Winetricks on board.
To install it on our Ubuntu system, 
we enter the following commands.
After the installation is complete, we verify 
that Winetricks has been installed correctly.
At Step 3, we will run Winetricks within an 
isolated environment to install additional
software, specifically, the .NET framework. 
For this, we will use the following commands.
Note that .NET version 4.7 is sufficient for 
the successful installation and operation
of dbForge Studio for MySQL. However, it may 
not install correctly under Wine. Therefore,
we recommend installing and using a 
higher version of .NET, such as 4.8,
for improved compatibility and performance.
The .NET installers will guide you 
through all the steps. You will need
to agree to the license terms 
and click Continue to proceed.
In the last window of the 
installation wizard, click Finish.
With our environment set up, it's time to download 
dbForge Edge from the official Devart site.
For installing dbForge Edge via Wine on your Linux 
machine, we use the command you see on the screen.
The provided command sets up a 64-bit 
Wine environment with a custom Wine
prefix directory and then runs the Edge's 
installer within that Wine environment.
Once you run the command, the dbForge Edge 
installation wizard will pop up. Simply follow
the wizard’s steps to install the application.
dbForge Edge offers four fully-featured IDEs:
dbForge Studio for SQL Server, dbForge 
Studio for MySQL, dbForge Studio for Oracle,
and dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL. Simply 
select the checkbox for the IDEs you wish to
install. You have the flexibility to install 
just one, two, three, or all four of them.
As dbForge Edge consists of a package 
containing four separate dbForge Studios,
you’ll need to select and run the specific 
Studio on your Ubuntu system. For instance,
to run dbForge Studio for MySQL using 
Wine, execute the following command.
Now, you're equipped with a powerful solution 
that can greatly enhance your workflow,
making database management, maintenance, and 
administration more efficient and intuitive.
