How to install e-Sword in Linux using Wine
This tutorial explains how to install e-Sword in Linux using Wine. The steps and results may be slightly different depending on what Linux distribution you are using. The steps listed here are for Ubuntu Linux or Linux Mint but may also work on other Linux distributions.
Open Synaptic Package Manager.
If you're using Linux Mint it might look like this:

A new window will open asking if you want to "Mark additional required changes."
Click the Mark button
Then click the Apply button
