Hi, I am newbie to Linux and I just downloaded and started on Linux Mint. The main software I want to run on it is Logos Bible Software. Is there a step by step instruction to get this done. I have downloaded the Google doc sheet, created wine hq accounts and tried a few terminal commands. Just not sure I am doing this right. If there is a step by step instruction it would be really helpful if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Hi folks, correct me if this wrong, but I had the same question and was told here to go to this page:
https://github.com/ferion11/LogosLinuxInstaller
and follow the instructions of this little video:
There is a small video of the installation using the
fast_install_AppImageWine_and_Logos.sh[by clicking here]. You can download the latest release [CLICK HERE].BUT ! Since computer stuff is like chinese to me (i'm learning though), I haven't dared doing it yet [;)]
So go ahead Henry (you sound more geeky than I), break the ground and let me know how it goes...
Thank you !0 -
Thanks so much folks - we are number 9 out of the top 10 apps on winehq - https://appdb.winehq.org/votestats.php
I'm very grateful and my hope is that this will encourage wine developers to consider us a priority. Indeed certain developers have already been very helpful and we are especially grateful to Louis Lenders and Nicolay Sivov!

Now if we have some here that voted for Libronix years ago, UNvote for that and vote for Logos Bible Software as Libronix has 5 votes!
BRegards.

Thank you Guillaume! I am going to try that and see if it works.

I went through and installed the software. However, there is some sort of error that is popping up when I try to open the software. Any idea why this is happening? Help is appreciated.

Sorry, that obviously shouldn't happen. Please can you let me know the result of wine --version. Also which distro you are using and version? Also you might post as an attachment the terminal output. Thanks

Hi Henry, This version of wine is too old for Logos. I recommend 6.0.2 as the latest stable version or newer. There are are some issues with certain wine-devel or wine-staging releases because these are in effect alphas and betas. Otherwise go with the app image from the ferion script. That will not affect any other wine apps on your system. If you want the latest wine-devel which works well I think its 6.17. Current work is going towards trying to ensure wine 7 will be reliable when it comes out just after Christmas.

Thanks for the quick reply John. I didn't get a chance to check the message yesterday. Do you recommend uninstall and reinstall of Wine and Logos? If Wine 7 is going to be more stable then should I wait till then or does that make any difference? Sorry, I am limited when it comes to my knowledge of Linux. Thanks.

Your easiest option is to run the script again on choose to use the appimage. if you are distribution has it you could update wine via the package manager instead.

Hi John, just to clarify I am following the steps in the instructions below - is that right? Sorry, I am still getting my way around Linux.

Logos is no more showing pop-up when i put the mouse over some link or when i clik in a word or in the notification status. Is possivel solve it?
0 -
@ Capulo, Filipe Paes: Are you putting your mouse cursor right over the link or word you want to see? With my version of Linux (Wasta 20.04; Ubuntu derivative) and mouse (Microsoft Mobile Mouse 3500) I have to be off to the side a bit for the link to show it's active / ready to be clicked... It's something I've had to get used to, as I don't know any way to calibrate a mouse pointer. Maybe try moving your pointer around a bit to see if that works?

John appears to have found the regression that caused the issue, hopefully it gets corrected soon.

Hi John,
I have been installing, deleting, reinstalling, trying different scripts - none works. Here's my problem. Following the video and using fast install, everything goes well until the Logos starts I can login just fine, but when it begins to download resources, the fatal error shows up and I can't proceed. Any ideas? I'm on Mint 20.2 Cinnamon. Thanks.

Jerry, your version of wine is too old. I recommend using the appImage install option. best wishes, John

For now you can roll back to an earlier version of wine, I think that bug was introduced in 6.23. On the telegram group I posted a 'patched' build of 6.23 which you can use. The fix will not arrive in any official packages until 7.0 final is released. The bug is still present in the release candidate.

John,
I am another neophyte w/Linux and especially w/trying to download and set up Logos. My Linux distro is Ubuntu 20.04 and I have Wine 6.0.2 (should I be using 6.19?).
So, when I view the video that demonstrates Logos installation, at the beginning the contents of Download are, "Logos-x86.msi", "wine-staging-linux-x86-v5.11-f11-86_64.AppImage" and "wine32_bottle.tar.gz". (Is it significant that each filename is a different color?) I assume I need to have these files. And, if so, how do I get them?
Warning, this may only be the beginning of allaying my confusion. [;)]

Hi Tim,
No worries, it can be a lot to learn. Wine 6.0.2 works ok by my recollection. In general people are better off using the appImage because it will be a prepackaged and carefully selected version which Daniel will have tested for stability and may have patched with bug fixes etc. The script downloads the appImage and the wine bottle during installation. The wine bottle is essentially a directory which contains windows apps and configuration. It is generally best to have one app in each wine bottle as they can require different configurations. The downloaded one is preconfigured for font smoothing and a few other things which makes Logos run nicely.
I hope that helps?
John

Thanks John!
It's installed and seemed to work. Two issues though...
- There's a process that kept on running underr Terminal. It seems to have stopped but I'm not sure what that's about. Is it OK to just shut Terminal down?
- Now that I've closed Logos I don't know / can't seem to find where to go to open it again?

Open a terminal and go to
(From memory but you should find a folder with a similar name if not this. ~ is a shortcut which means home dir. e.g. /home/john
cd ~/LogosBible_Linux_P
To create a shortcut, run ./Logos.sh shortcut
Wine processes sometimes linger for longer than you'd expect but they do usually terminate ok. If not, then closing the terminal should be fine.

Hi Tim,
My struggles with creating a shortcut are found on page 62 of this thread. Maybe one of the suggestions there will help. Aside from that, there are some instructions on the ferion11 script page (in #23, way at the bottom), but I found them quite cryptic... I do have a shortcut in my Start menu now, but I can't tell you how I got it there... Maybe a restart is necessary?

That did it. Thanks John!! Linux newbie and grateful for the help. It's great to be able to prolong the usefulness of old equipment to save $$. Thanks again.

I'm pleased you got it working. If you haven't found it yet, take a look at this page https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=39484 which will give you an idea of what works and what doesn't. The big problems are media playback (use the web app instead) and printing (copy and paste to libreoffice instead). Printing is pretty close to a fix, the media playback functionality is being worked on but will likely take longer. In both cases, the work around is easy enough. I use Logos on linux most days and rarely run into any issues.

Hi John,
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work on this! One question though: Would there be a way to edit the script so it will install the Verbum app instead of Logos? How should I go about that?
Thank you and God bless!
Brian0 -
Brian, It's not entirely straightforward because you need to replace a lot of times 'Logos' with 'Verbum' but not always because of the way it handles some configuration. Different icon etc. Anyway, I have already done it.
You can find it here: https://github.com/jg00dman/LogosLinuxInstaller/blob/master/fast_install_AppImageWine_and_Verbum.sh
I haven't updated it for the latest version but if you replace the verbum version number you can have it install the latest. I was hoping Daniel would accept the pull request but not as yet.
