EES

Macintosh and Linux Compatibility

Note: F-Chart Software does not officially support the use of EES on Macintosh computers or Linux. However, EES has been successfully installed on new Macs with the Intel chip that run operating system 10.4.10 or newer. Also EES can operate under Linux using Wine, an Open Source implementation of the Windows API. Instructions are provided below for both situations.

Running EES on the Macintosh
Modern Mac computers use and Intel-based processor that can run the Windows operating systems that EES is designed to run under. There are three ways that to run EES on the Mac.
1. Boot Camp
2. Parallels Desktop
3. VMWare Fusion
MacTech discusses the relative merits of each of these alternatives in their Vol 24, 2008 issue.

Installing EES with Wine in Ubuntu:
1. Install the latest version of wine
1a. Ubuntu 9.10: Use the software center and choose version 1.1.32 or later.
1b. Earlier versions: use the instructions provided here: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb

2. Save the EES setup.exe file to any folder.

3. Run the .exe file (wine will start automatically).
