How To Install PlayOnLinux on Fedora 36

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PlayOnLinux on Fedora 36. For those of you who didn’t know, PlayOnLinux is a free and open-source graphical front-end for Wine that allows Linux users to install a large number of Windows-based computer games and applications such as MS Office, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, Photoshop, and several other programs on your Linux system.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the PlayOnLinux on a Fedora 36.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 36.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
