Running Roon on Linux with Wine

This script makes it possible to run Roon on Wine. It creates a separate Wine instance in a folder; this is required for Roon.

Right now the script is very rudimentary: more stuff is coming soon. Keep in mind that you need the following programs to be installed on your Linux system:

  • wine
  • winetricks
  • winecfg
  • wget

With respect to which version of Wine... this is a bit 'hit-and-miss'. For now it seems you need a (64-bit) Wine version below or equal to 5.11. In general this means that if you choose to install what's known as 'wine stable' you're on the safe side.

To install Roon just clone or download this repository and run ./install.sh

Be patient, as installing the necessary components for Wine can take some time. Don't be scared of the messages that flood the console: drink a coffee and wait...

The installation is basically unattended. When the Roon installer starts you will need to click 'Install'.

When finished you can start Roon with ./start_my_roon_instance.sh
