A Wine prefix is a directory that acts like a separate Windows installation. Each prefix has its own registry, installed programs, libraries, and configuration, providing a way to isolate applications and configure Wine in a way that is optimal for a particular Windows application or set of applications without affecting other Windows applications that you need to run on the system. To create a new Wine prefix, take the following steps:
Create a new Wine prefix
Open a terminal window.-
Choose a location for the new prefix. For example:
export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine-myapp"
-
Initialize the prefix:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine-myapp" wineboot
Wine will create the directory and initialize a fresh Windows environment.
