Installing Photoshop Ubuntu. Install Adobe Photoshop CS6 in Linux. Installing Photoshop in Linux using a virtual machine

In this article we will consider installing the program Adobe Photoshop. On the operating systems of the GNU / Linux family. Since Photoshop does not officially support Linux, we will use Wine.

On the this moment One of the most raspscreen versions is CS6, so we will consider the installation on it, but older versions are established by the same principle. We will install under the Xubuntu distribution 16.04.4.

We will consider installing Photoshop through PlayonLinux (POL), as this is the easiest way. Well, or at least much easier than manually configure bottles (containers for files) in pure Wine and to download all the necessary libraries themselves.

1. Loading Playonlinux from the official site

Pol often meets in standard repositories most distributions, but usually there outdated version. Therefore, I recommend installing PlayonLinux according to instructions from the official site. For some distributions is offered as a ready-made package for installation (for example * .rpm or * .deb) and the ability to add repository from the POL project. I use the finished * .deb package for Ubuntu:

2. Installation POL

Next, depending on the distribution kit you choose, follow the installation instructions from the official site. You can use both console and graphic utilities. Here is a brief list of approximate installation commands for the main distributions:

Arch (after adding a repository)

sudo Pacman -s Playonlinux

Ubuntu. For downloaded package:

sudo Dpkg -i / input J./file/*.deb

Through repository:

sudo Apt Install Playonlinux

Rhel / CentOS. For downloaded package:

sudo rpm -i / input jd/fail/1.rpm

Through repository:

sudo Yum Install Playonlinux

Where "*" - Package name.

I will be installed through the center of the application, which is the default with the Xubuntu distribution. To do this, you must open in file Manager Directory where the package is located, and run the installer double-clicking. If for some reason you do not have the application center as the default program for * .deb packets, click on the file right-click and select Open through (You can be written differently) and select the desired program:

After starting the application center, you need to click Install, Well, or in the localized version Set:

Wait until the installation is completed, after which you can close the application center or start Playonlinux directly from here by pressing the appropriate button Launch:

To do this, click on the necessary program In the POL list, and in the left menu you will have several items, one of which Create A Shortcut.(Create a shortcut):

I affect the topic of Linux OS, even this system, so far, is not very popular. But, because you all use photoshop, well, most readers are so accurate. And in life anything happens. Here, maybe somehow come across a penguin and you will need photoshop. And then, my article will be by the way. Or you want to put yourself Linux, but the fact that there are no programs you need stopping you.

In fact, the damn thing is not so worried as his little. Install photoshop on Linux is not more difficult than Windows. The only thing that needs an additional software for this. there is different variants Installations, we will use the easiest, fast and, as for me, effective. All we need will be, it is:

  1. Computer running Linux OS.
  2. PlayonLinux program (free).
  3. Adobe Photoshop.

Immediately I want to say that I have a Ubunta version 14 and ensure that my way will work on another distribution, for example, Fedoro or Mint, I can not.

So, proceed to the installation process.

Step 1. In the center of the apps you download PlayonLinux program.

Step 2. Run the program that we installed and click "Installation".

Step 3. Go to the "Graphics" section and choose Adobe Photoshop CS6. If you can not find, then use the search. But, most likely, he will be there.

Step 4. The PHOTOSHOP-A Installation Wizard opens. Main, do not change any parameters, do not change the installation directory, follow strictly instructions and do everything they will be asked. Some programs are asked to remove the tick opposite "Run the program after completion." If you are asked to do this, make it.

This is how the start of installation looks

Step 5. In one of the steps of the installation (I do not describe the previous steps, you need to press "Next" everywhere). You will be asked to select the photo stall installation file.


Due to the specifics of the installation, not every photoshop is suitable. But, I have a suitable blog in my blog. Select the installation file and install photoshop in the usual mode, as is done on Windows. Well, that is, we click "Next" and all :)

Selecting the Installation File

The usual installation of photoshop

Step 6. Go to the PlayonLinux program and launch Photoshop!

And voila, works!


As you can see, it was simpler. And now you can enjoy work with photoshop on Linux. Moreover, it does not differ anything from work on Window.

All who regularly reads my blog should notice a message about the upcoming Gimp uniform interface made in Photoshop style. Perhaps some avid linuxoids will be outraged, but for most people who previously used to work in Photoshop it is very difficult to vote, even if you create a similar interface. Therefore, it is not rare that the need to launch exactly the full photoshop under Linux (although I wonder without it). The article below tells how to do it.

A popup window will appear - just click on the "OK" button.

After you install Wine, you will need to download and install a few more packages. One of which is a Winetricks package.

In order to get a Wineetricks package and a few more packages, simply copy to command line And run the following sequence of commands:

Now install these packages:

SH WINETRICKS MSXML6 GDIPLUS GECKO VCRUN2005

You must also install TTF fonts from Microsoft:

Sudo Apt-Get Install Msttcorefonts

Before we install Photoshop CS4, we need to download.dll file. Download the ATMLIB.DLL file with the following link.

Unpack the ZIP file and copy the ATMLIB.DLL file to the C: / Windows / System32 directories. In order to do this, go to the Applications menu -\u003e Wine -\u003e Browse C: \\ Drive, and then go to Windows -\u003e System32 and copy the ATMLIB.dll file there. After that, go to the Applications menu -\u003e Wine -\u003e Configure Wine. In the Libraries tab, add an ATMLIB.DLL and click on "Apply" ("Apply").

But how not to spin, but without photoshop - do not do. There are several ways to install and run photoshop in Linux.

This method is based on copying folders, registry and settings. installed Adobe. Photoshop CS5 from Windows in Linux.

Export it to a file. To do this, right-click and select "Export". Give the file a meaningful name (for example, photoshop.reg.) and save it to affordable operating system Linux place.

On this, all manipulations with Windows can be considered completed. We overload in Linux or close the virtual machine.

Install wine

If you already have it already installed, then check that the version is not lower than 1.3

Wine --Version.

At the moment, version 1.3.13 is available. Otherwise, reset the OS in case you were once played with Wine:

Install the missing Windows libraries

Using Winetricks, install the missing Windows libraries:
