    I cannot install DWSIM v 6.4.9 in my Ubuntu machine: "unable to install dwsim: The following packages have unmet dependencies" --follow a list of packages. I am running Ubuntu 21.04. Any help much appreciate.

    Sorry for the delay. I have been trying to find a solution on my own. I never thought that a DWSIM 'wine' version could even exist. Please give me a bit of time to download the 'wine' software and I will come back with the results. Thank.

    I have managed to install 'wine' and it seems everything went OK but with some tweaks along the way. I do not know how to bring the DWSIM welcome screen on my machine.

    The code I got after typing wine is:

    juan@ubuntu:~/aspen$ wine
    Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program
    wine --help Display this help and exit
    wine --version Output version information and exit
    juan@ubuntu:~/aspen$ wine --version
    wine-6.0
    juan@ubuntu:~/aspen$

    What shall I do from here?

    The process of using DWSIM wine in Linux is a cumbersome operation. If this 'problem' has occurred because of using Ubuntu 21.04, am able to wait until a solution is found. I also have the Debian file: dwsim6.4.9-amd64.deb and I wonder if this file were to be downloaded in a ubuntu 20.04 it will download OK and the results could be similar to the Windows look. As a matter of fact, I did downloaded the Debian dwsim6.4.2 in the same machine with Ubuntu 20.04 and it worked fine. Perhaps the Debian.6.4.9 was not mean to work yet on a Ubuntu 2021.04.

    Did you follow the instructions in the README for the wine version?

    How to run
    =================================================
    
    This command sequence assumes that you've extracted the 7z file to your Desktop.
    
    1. Install wine:
    
    sudo apt-get install wine-stable
    
    2. After installing wine, run DWSIM using the following command:
    
    WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Desktop/dwsim-wine_v6.4.9/wineprefix wine C:/DWSIM6/DWSIM.exe
    

    Also, the debian package for v6.4.9 has no different requirements when compared to v6.4.2. The required packages are:

    mono-complete (>= 6.8), mono-vbnc (>=4.0), gtk-sharp2 (>=2.12), libfontconfig1-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, coinor-libipopt1v5 
    

    Regards
    Daniel

    I followed your instruction and indeed it worked. Thank you; much appreciated. Now I am finding a way to shorten the command line that starts with WINEPREFIX with simply 'dwsim-wine'.
