A shell based on the Affinity Wine Documentation by wanesty. Allows you install and use the Affinity software suite by Serif on Linux.

What it does

• Checks if dependencies are installed.
• Installs Rum and launch-affinity to ~/.local/bin/
• Downloads, compiles and installs ElementalWarrior's fork of Wine to /opt/wines/.
• Creates a Wineprefix with dependencies in ~/.local/share/wine-affinity.
• Installs DXVK and VKD3D using Winetricks.
• Lets you start the installer executable.
• Creates .desktop shortcuts.

Instructions

1. Get a Windows/System32/WinMetadata folder from a Windows install or a VM.
2. Download the installer executable from Affinity.
3. Inside a terminal, run

curl -Os https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sihawido/affinity-linux-setup/main/affinity-linux-setup.sh && bash affinity-linux-setup.sh

Warning: Always be careful when running scripts from the Internet.

4. Follow every step in the terminal (y - stands for yes, n - stands for no).
5. Launch the Affinity software using your DE or by typing launch-affinity in the terminal.

Notes
