I got it to work on Ubuntu 14.04 by approximately this method. It's INCREDIBLY long winded, you have to download about a gigabyte of stuff from Microsoft, one file didn't exist at the listed download site any more and I had to get a questionable copy off someone's "saved stuff" web directory, and after all that a pile of stuff doesn't work properly. *However*, it is usable for real work without getting a Windows box to run it on.

I have recently been able to make it work under WINE, and have updated the documentation page accordingly[1]. It did take a series of winetricks(1) incantations to get it to work. It's quite brittle. In particular, make sure you're specifying WINARCH=32.

It's been several years since I used AWB for anything serious, precisely because it only runs under Windows.
The conventional advice is to run it in a windows emulator, such as Wine, Parallels or Virtualbox. Folks talk about porting it, but I suspect this will never happen.

In last 2 years I have contacted every help section from AWB talk page, Ubuntu help forum etc. Trying this medium as well: Can someone tell me how to use AWB on Ubuntu? _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
