Wine is the base of the project, where most of the work is being done. Wine's "emulator" is really just a binary loader that allows Windows applications to interface with the Wine API replacement. Thinking of Wine as just an emulator is really forgetting about the other things it is. That said, Wine can be thought of as a Windows emulator in much the same way that Windows Vista can be thought of as a Windows XP emulator: both allow you to run the same applications by translating system calls in much the same way. There is no inherent loss of speed due to "emulation" when using Wine, nor is there a need to open Wine before running your application. However, Wine is a compatibility layer - it runs Windows applications in much the same way Windows does. When users think of an emulator, they tend to think of things like game console emulators or virtualization software. There is a lot of confusion about this, particularly caused by people getting Wine's name wrong and calling it WINdows Emulator. This greatly raises Linux marketshare, drawing more commercial and community developers to Linux. Wine increases the usefulness of Linux, makes it easier for users to switch to free operating systems, and for Windows developers to make applications that work on them. Wine is available thanks to the work of many people around the world.

In 2014, Guenther Goerz used Wine Bottler to create a Mac version of the Image Markup Tool, and this is available on the download page. Wine is now a supported platform for the IMT 1.8. I'm currently using the IMT myself under Wine rather than Windows, and I fixed a couple of bugs which were specific to Wine limitations in early 2010. Try different versions of Windows until you get the best results. Click on Apply, then start the Image Markup Tool from the Wine menu. Select the exe file to add this application to the Wine applications list, then select it, and in the drop-down list for Windows Version, choose Windows XP, or whatever version you want to try. Go to the Applications tab, choose Add application, and browse to find the Image Markup Tool executable (which is usually c:\Program Files\\Image Markup Tool\ImgMarkupTool.exe). To do this, start up the Wine configuration application (you should find a link to it on the Wine menu, or somewhere on your programs menu). If you have any problems, you might be able to solve them by changing the "version" of Windows that Wine pretends to be. Once you've installed Wine, download the IMT, and run the installer under Wine to install the program. You may also want to download and install the Windows version of Firefox under Wine the IMT offers to open files for you in a Web browser sometimes, and that functionality requires that a Web browser be available in "Windows".
Consult this page for information on how to add the Wine repository to your sources list and install Wine. Most Linux distributions include Wine in their repositories, but the version available for your distro may not be the most recent version you can ensure your version is up to date by getting it from the Wine HQ. We really recommend getting the latest version 1.0 was released in June 2008.įirst, install Wine. To run under Wine on Linux, you'll need to install a version of Wine which is at least 0.9.55 (released February 8, 2008). It is possible to run the IMT under the Wine on Linux, and there is a version for OSX built using Wine Bottler (see below). However, you may not wish to pay for a copy of Windows to run as a VM. If your computer isn't running Windows, one option is to run the Image Markup Tool in a virtual machine, using VMWare or Parallels.
