Instructions for install the Logos Bible:

NOTE: For the Logos fix, you will need at least the 4.21 staging (because of this https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47668) or other version that have ReOpenFile implementation.

Portable version:

if you want the portable version, you can get ii here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iD3flpZLIBC9S0UkNAS-lVJCizvreUgb

On the portable version, you can just extract and use (start it using the Logos.sh inside the directory), you can have multiple copys working at the same machine (or USB flash drive), each one with its own Logos's user.

Automatic Installation:

You can just use the script on https://github.com/ferion11/LogosLinuxInstaller/releases And it will get you from the start to the end.

Manual Install and configure wine:

$ chmod +x wine-i386_x86_64-archlinux.AppImage

$ mkdir $HOME/AppImage

$ mv wine-i386_x86_64-archlinux.AppImage $HOME/AppImage/

  • In your bin folder, create links on your "bin" directory (if you don't have, create one) for winetricks:

$ cd $HOME

$ mkdir bin

  • create links on your "bin" directory for winetricks:

$ cd $HOME/bin

$ ln -s $HOME/AppImage/wine-i386_x86_64-archlinux.AppImage wine

$ ln -s $HOME/AppImage/wine-i386_x86_64-archlinux.AppImage wineserver

$ cd $HOME

  • Put the line "export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH" in the $HOME/.bashrc file (and just reboot if you don't know how to reload the .bashrc)

  • execute winecfg (if it ask for install gecko and mono, just cancel) (and avoid it making garbage like file associations and menu creation):

$ wine winecfg

  • Avoiding garbage by, on the "Libraries" tab, add "winemenubuilder.exe" and edit for "disable"

Get and run winetricks:

  • Get winetricks and run:

$ wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

$ chmod +x winetricks

  • Avoid interface glitches with the "opengl":

$ env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 sh ./winetricks ddr=gdi

  • If you have a RGB LCD, for better fonts:

env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 sh ./winetricks settings fontsmooth=rgb

  • Or if you have a BRG LCD

env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 sh ./winetricks settings fontsmooth=brg

  • Install allfonts and dotnet:

$ env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 sh ./winetricks allfonts

$ env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 sh ./winetricks dotnet48

Get and run Logos Bible:

$ wget -c https://downloads.logoscdn.com/LBS8/Installer/8.10.0.0032/Logos-x86.msi

  • Install Logos (I installed in C:\Logos for make it easy to find):

$ LC_ALL=C wine start Logos-x86.msi

  • Execute for the first time:

$ LC_ALL=C wine .wine32/drive_c/Logos/Logos.exe

  • Make the login (don't mind the error, just close it).

  • Disable "Automatic Download New Resources"

  • Pause the Indexing, and download and remove what you need for making your library.

  • Exit the Logos, and kill the LogosIndexer.exe process if need.

  • Change wine profile to "winxp":

$ env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 sh ./winetricks winxp

  • and execute the Indexer:

$ LC_ALL=C wine .wine32/drive_c/Logos/System/LogosIndexer.exe

  • After end, change back to win7:

$ env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 sh ./winetricks win7

  • Execute Logos (i would disable all automatic updates):

$ LC_ALL=C wine .wine32/drive_c/Logos/Logos.exe
