Safari 5 runs in Linux

Published on June 22, 2010, by + in linux.


I’m not sure why you would want to do it, but yes Safari 5 runs fine in Linux with wine. :)


In Ubuntu 10.04 install this version of wine:


sudo apt-get install wine1.2-dev


Next, fetch the wonderful winetricks


wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks


Make it executable


chmod +x winetricks


Use winetricks to install corefonts


./winetricks



Now go and download the Safari Quicktime combo:




And run the installer:


wine SafariQuickTimeSetup.exe



It works! You can run Safari from your Ubuntu Applications menu under Wine > Programs > Safari

    Really helpful article – thanks – we do a lot of cross browser testing and having ability to run Safari under Ubuntu is a boon.

    However, the link you provide to download Safari no longer exists – and i cant for the life of me find out where on the Apple site i can download it from (in fact the link on there own site http://www.apple.com/safari/download just redirects to http://www.apple.com/safari/ with no option to download visible anywhere).

    Could someone point me to a download? Thanks.
