    To install PlayOnLinux on Ubuntu-based systems like Kali Linux, run "apt-get install playonlinux" and "apt-get install wine:i386 wine32" to avoid errors. If running as root, comment out lines in /usr/share/playonlinux/python/mainwindow.py and /usr/share/playonlinux/lib/sources that check for root access to allow launching PlayOnLinux as root.

    Installing PlayOnLinux

    To get PlayOnLinux installed on an Ubuntu-based distro like Kali,

    you can try installing it using the default repositories by running:

    apt-get install playonlinux

    To avoid some errors later on, I would also suggest running the following commands
    to get the 32-bit version of Wine installed:

    apt-get install wine:i386


    wine --version
    apt-get install wine32

    Run PlayOnLinux as root


    If you�re running Kali Linux (or any other distro) as root, you�ll run into a
    message saying

    �PlayOnLinux is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry�. To get around that, you�ll
    need to edit two files:

    leafpad /usr/share/playonlinux/python/mainwindow.py

    When the file opens, you�ll want to look for the following lines and comment them
    out by adding a # in front of the line:

    if(os.popen("id -u").read() == "0\n" or os.popen("id -u").read() == "0"):


    wx.MessageBox(_("{0} is not supposed to be run as root.
    Sorry").format(os.environ["APPLICATION_TITLE"]),_("Error"))
    os._exit(1)

    So that it looks like this:

    # if(os.popen(�id -u�).read() == �0\n� or os.popen(�id -u�).read() == �0�):


    # wx.MessageBox(_(�{0} is not supposed to be run as root.
    Sorry�).format(os.environ[�APPLICATION_TITLE�]),_(�Error�))
    # os._exit(0)

    leafpad /usr/share/playonlinux/lib/sources

    You�ll want to find the 5 lines below and comment them out by adding a # in front
    of the line:
    if [ "$(id -u)" = "0" ]
    then
    echo "PlayOnLinux is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry"
    exit
    fi

    After making the changes above to the files, you should be able to run PlayOnLinux
    as root in Kali Linux (or any other Linux distro). If you�ve tried the steps above,
    let us know how it worked for you by leaving us a comment below.
