This bash script installs Photoshop CC version 19 on your Linux machine using wine behind the scene and sets some necessary component up for best performance

• downloads necessary component and installs them (vcrun,atmlib,msxml...)
• downloads photoshop.exe installer and installs it automatically
• creates photoshop commands and desktop entry
• configures wine for dark mode
• detects various graphic cards like (intel, Nvidia...)
• saves the downloaded files in your cache directory
• It's free and you will not need any license key
• works on any Linux distributions

1- use 64bit edition of your distro

2-make sure following packages are already installed on your Linux distro

• wine
• winetricks
• aria2c
• md5sum

if they are not already installed you can install them using your package manager for example in arch Linux

sudo pacman -S wine aria2 winetricks

3- make sure you have enogh storage in your /home partition about 5 GiB

1 GiB will be free after installation

4- make sure you have internet connection and about 1.5 Gib traffic for downloading photoshop and its components at first time

there are two installation scripts

• PhotoshopSetup.sh
• PhotoshopSetupCustom.sh (Recommended)

installer scripts use a virtual drive of wine and makes a new winprefix for photoshop

first of all you need to clone the repository with this command:

git clone https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux.git
cd photoshopCClinux

then you can easily run setup.sh script to install photoshop cc on your linux distro

chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

you can use -d switch to specify installation path, and -c for the cache directory. for example:

./PhotoshopSetupCustom.sh -d /mnt/myfiles/photoshop

or

./PhotoshopSetup.sh -d /mnt/myfiles/photoshop -c /mnt/cache

if you don't use it, installer script uses the default path also, uninstaller script and others will detect your custom path so there is no problem I recommend just use -d argument and use default cache directory this feature is under test after testing I'll add it to setup.sh

during installation please pay attention to script messages

NOTE : make sure OS version in wine is on windows 7

chmod +x PhotoshopSetup.sh
./PhotoshopSetup.sh

chmod +x PhotoshopSetupCustom.sh
./PhotoshopSetupCustom.sh

if you need to configure wineprefix of photoshop you can use winecfg.sh script just run command below

chmod +x winecfg.sh
./winecfg.sh

chmod +x cameraRawInstaller.sh
./cameraRawInstaller.sh

for uninstall photoshop you can use uninstaller script with commands below

chmod +x uninstaller.sh
./uninstaller.sh
