Mono in wine

**Nixxus** · December 5th, 2011

Curretly trying to install Mono in wine on my ubuntu box, and due to my ISP, i cant use X over SSH.

So is there any way to install Mono completely through terminal?
Wine seems to require the Windows version of Mono as i've tried Linux mono 2.10 (compiled from source) without any luck.

just wondering if this is possible, or if i'm wasting my time.

thanks for taking the time to read this.

i used Winetricks to get the mono download and almost installed, but during installatio it cried about not having a display to use. so that's what lead me here.

thanks for replying though

$ wine msiexec /i mono-install-file.msi
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window

thanks for trying though

I just downloaded winetricks from Wine's website. On invoking winetricks and requesting Install of an App, it does not show mono. Can you tell me where to download mono install file from?
