Rhino on Linux - Technicalities

I was wrong, VisualARQ looked like it was working fine but the licensing is stuck in evaluation mode. I’m unable to activate it with my Cloud Zoo license (works fine for Rhino itself). Any ideas?

Hey, that worked! I haven’t checked if there are any downstream issues, but it fixed this one straightaway. Thank you!

Hi! Got the license running, but only in standalone mode (by entering the key). Cloud mode does not work here, either.

What are the instructions for Rhino 8 on Wine?

Thank you : )

Oh well.

Check the original answer by ItHasLegs over on the top, I just reposted the link to make more visible.

Looks like you’re running Linux Mint? Since lsb_release -sc returned zena. Wine doesn’t have Mint sources, so you’ll have to use the Ubuntu source associated with your Mint release.

run cat /etc/os-release and see what UBUNTU_CODENAME is in that file, it is likely to be noble. Use that as the source for installing wine.

sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d "https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/noble/winehq-noble.sources"
