Installation Lightroom 4 on Linux Mint (2024.10)

Source

  • Source is on CD. Install from there
  • It is Lightroom 4.1 64-bit. According to the readme.pdf file, dated at 2023.02.13, there is no subversion. During installation, it turns out to be version Lightroom 4.1 64-bit

Destination

  • Linux Mint 20, based on Ubuntu 20.04 - Up-to-date as of 2024.10
  • This is a 64-bit environment
  • Wine: Current version: 9.18 (2024.09.20). Installed: 9.0. This didn't change through sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade
  • With Wine, you need a separate Wine configuration for each computer user. Installed software, is also limited to the account through which it is installed.

Install Wine

  • From my own account: sudo apt install wine
  • Not installed: Winetricks

Configure Wine

  • Do this from within the computer account from where Lightroom will be used
  • Start WineCFG: winecfg. Set default environment to Windows 7 - That's all.

Install Lightroom

From within the Linux Mint computer account from which Lightroom will be used:

  • Go in Nemo to the CD
  • Right-click: Open in Terminal
  • Install Lightroom: wine install\ lightroom\ 4.exe.

From here, the actual procedure happened through a GUI. It took less than a minute, and seemed to be without any errors

Does it work?

  • Lightroom can be started through the start menu, or through a link placed on the Desktop
  • Seems fine
