Instructions on how to run Balsamiq Wireframes on Linux, using Wine and Lutris.
- a mainstream Linux distribution (Ubuntu / Debian / Fedora / Mint), with
curl,wineandwine32. lutris- Lutris makes it easy to install wine-powered applications. You can download Lutris or look at the installation instructions on Github.
- download and launch the installer with
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/balsamiq/balsamiq-wireframes-linux/master/bw.yml -O /tmp/bw.yml && lutris -i /tmp/bw.yml - follow the steps in the Lutris wizard, and voila'!
Simply launch the app from your application or desktop shortcut shortcut, or from the Lutris panel.
- At the moment the app cannot be used to edit projects hosted on Balsamiq Cloud. You'll have to use a browser instead.
- At the moment export pdf doesn't work if some UTF-8 fonts are present (like emojis and some asian fonts)
