It is possible to run Huggle on non-Windows OSs, using a program called Wine. Wine works on both Linux and Mac. Wine does not support the PowerPC architecture. Before following these instructions, you should have a valid Windows License. Please note that you'll need to use non-free libraries in order to get Huggle run (on Windows, Mac OS X or GNU/Linux).

[edit] Instructions

1. Ensure that you have X11 installed. If you are on Mac OS X Leopard, you're fine. Tiger users must install it.
   Make sure you have enough space left on your device. A lot of software has to be installed that huggle depends on. A few GB should be enough.
2. Download and install Wine

   Mac OS X: http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/ (or use the MacPorts version of Wine (sudo port install wine))

   Linux: http://www.winehq.org/download

   Alternative for Ubuntu users: Type sudo apt-get install wine in the Terminal

3. Open up the Terminal (Mac OS X: located in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
4. In the terminal:
   1. curl http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks > /tmp/winetricks
   2. (Darwine users only) export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin:~/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin:"/Applications/TRiX.app/Contents/Resources/bin"
   3. sh /tmp/winetricks -q tahoma liberation ie6 gecko dotnet20 msi2 fontfix mono22 allfonts

      If cabextract is not installed, install it (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install cabextract) and re-run the command

      Click through all installers that pop up.

5. Download and open up Huggle. Good luck!

If you have any problems you can visit Huggle's page on the Wine App Database here [1] where you can ask for help and contact Wine developers.

4. haha, there we go. took running the last command a few times, and installing IE6 twice (That means when it prompted me, I selected the "reinstall all components option"), and it loads the diffs now. At the very least, the full version works. I have yet to test the lite version Both versions work. The font is ugly as sin though, and very small... and some things overlap other things so it looks rather ugly, but it still works :D. Until It Sleeps 21:14, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
5. Some moderate success on Mac OS X for me. Still seems unstable, and the installers were all somewhat wonky, but after several do overs, it seems to be working "reasonably". —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:22, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
6. Kinda wonky, but it's there. (Only tested main version 0.90) --Bfigura ^(talk) 18:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
7. Slow and jerky, but it works. Isn't really worth it, though. Javert ^{(T · C)} 17:36, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

   Removed because it is too choppy. As Javert said, it's not really worth it (I can't keep up with the vandals!). Also, now suspiciously Time Machine isn't working... How do you make sure you've removed all the files you installed? Airplaneman ^talk 02:01, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Unsuccessful users

• In the Terminal when entering the third command I got "Cannot find cabextract. Please install it (e.g. 'sudo apt-get install cabextract' or 'sudo yum install cabextract')." Then I tried to open Huggle and I got: huggle 0.9.0.exe has exited with an error, have a look at the Log window... There I see: "fixme:actctx:parse_manifest_buffer root element is L"asmv1:assembly", not <assembly>

install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables" What should I do? Ag97 (talk) 17:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

• While running winetricks, I got a bunch of: "err:ole:CoInitializeEx Attempt to change threading model of this apartment from apartment threaded to multi-threaded"
  • Followed by:

 "err:msi:HANDLE_CustomType34 Unable to execute command L"\"C:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\netfxsbs20.exe\" /install"" 

• • I am trying a clean wine install and will update as soon as I have news.--Res2216firestar 07:27, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
    • Pfft. The sudo purge whatever command-thing didn't purge my wine install. I'm looking into it.--Res2216firestar 07:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
      • Going to bed, will resume work in the morning.--Res2216firestar 07:51, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
        • Update: The above errors are harmless, and happen on windows machines in the logs. Huggle still won't start in Ubuntu 9.04.--Res2216firestar 18:56, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
• Loads into huggle, then freezes. But I am trying to get it working with Mono, which is having more success (and would allow the creation of a native linux binary of huggle, no external software required). ~fl 12:39, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
  • FL, running the commands shown above should install mono automatically. Xclamation point 16:11, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
• I get Greek (literally) as the font. The log begins with:

 fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x61f80000, 1, 0x0) not fully implemented  fixme:ntdll:NtPowerInformation Unimplemented NtPowerInformation action: 16  fixme:actctx:parse_manifest_buffer root element is L"asmv1:assembly", not <assembly> 

Running on OS X. — Aldaron • T/C 23:05, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

If you get greek, then not all the font packages finished installing. Try using Trix.app to install "tahoma" and "allfonts". I think i ran all the installs in the end trough Trix.app, seemed to work more reliable than downloading winetricks manually in the Terminal —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I used Trix (for "MS Tahoma" and all the other fonts listed; there was no "allfonts" listed), so now I can log in (Greek prevented before) but see nothing in Huggle browser pane when I click on a page in the queue. — Aldaron • T/C 22:39, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

• I just installed it today on Ubuntu Jaunty, but it "hangs" every few seconds (program dims for a short period). I haven't been able to do anything with it yet. I'm going to look into compiling the source code for 'nix operating systems. [mad pierrot][t c] 20:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Just kidding, it's written in Visual Basic. I thought it was in C++ or C#. Bummer :-/. [mad pierrot][t c] 20:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Aw, so close, didn't work. Ubuntu 9.04 x64: The feed works, but the IE6 doesn't plug in properly, so I can't see the changes. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
