Photoshop CS2 on Linux
October 27, 2007

This is not Mac Pro specific. Tested on Ubuntu 7.10, using the Photoshop CS2 30-day trial.

1. First you have to install wine. If you already have, make sure you have at least version 0.9.46.
   

   sudo apt-get install wine

2. Start winecfg, so your .wine directory gets set up in your home directory
   

   winecfg

3. Change into the virtual c drive
   

   cd ~/.wine/drive_c

4. Download the official 30-day trial of Photoshop CS2 trial from here and put it into the ~/.wine/drive_c directory
   

   wget http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/win/cs2/Photoshop_CS2.exe

5. Run the downloaded .exe, which will unzip all the contents
   

   wine Photoshop_CS2.exe

6. Start the setup
   

   wine /home/miklos/.wine/drive_c/Photoshop\ Tryout/Photoshop\ CS2/Setup.exe

7. After the setup has finished, start Photoshop
   

   wine /home/miklos/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS2/Photoshop.exe

8. Done!
