> [!NOTE]
> For Linux Mint 22 Wilma and potentially other Linux Distributions it could be necessary to make the `wine64` binary available first before running the script if it fails to find the wine64 binary either by adding the correct installation directory to the `$PATH` variable or by adding a symlink to a folder which is already part of the `$PATH` variable.

Option 1: Add the installation directory to the `$PATH` variable:

```sh
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/wine' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
wine64 --version
```

Option 2: Add a symlink to an already existing folder of the `$PATH` variable:

```sh
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/wine/wine64 /usr/bin/wine64
wine64 --version
```

If you ever need to undo the script, simply delete the `.winemonogame` folder in your home directory.
