A project-local Wine prefix and application manager (Wine's version of `uv`).
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
`cheapwine` brings modern, declarative, and fast workflow management to Wine environments. Instead of managing a bloated directory of global prefixes (like Lutris or Bottles), `cheapwine` isolates prefixes directly inside your project folders and exposes a clean, git-friendly configuration file named `distillery.json`.

## Key Features
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
* **Project-Local Prefixes**: Automatically sandboxes your Wine environments in `.cheapwine` inside your project directory.
|
|
31
|
+
* **Declarative Distillery Settings (`distillery.json`)**: Declare architectures, Windows versions, environment variables, and application commands in a single, portable JSON file.
|
|
32
|
+
* **Runner Overrides**: Use system Wine, Proton (via Steam), Wine-GE, Kron4ek, Soda, or custom-compiled Wine builds, both globally and overridden per application.
|
|
33
|
+
* **Runner Auto-Downloads**: Automatically download Wine-GE, Proton-GE, Kron4ek, and Soda runners from GitHub by name (e.g. `wine-ge-8-26`, `kron4ek-9.0`).
|
|
34
|
+
* **Custom Runner Versions**: Pin specific runner versions (e.g. `wine-ge-8-26`) globally or per application.
|
|
35
|
+
* **Declarative Winetricks**: Define winetricks components (DLLs, codecs, fonts) in `distillery.json` — applied automatically on prefix init and cached to avoid re-application.
|
|
36
|
+
* **LatencyFleX Support**: Built-in LatencyFleX environment variable configuration for competitive gaming (NVIDIA Reflex-like latency reduction).
|
|
37
|
+
* **Legacy 32-bit Support**: Create isolated 32-bit Wine prefixes (`win32`) on the fly, even for individual applications in a 64-bit project.
|
|
38
|
+
* **Auto-Integration Spam Block**: Prevents Wine from cluttering your Linux host's desktop search menu during app installation by disabling `winemenubuilder` by default.
|
|
39
|
+
* **Manual Desktop Export**: Clean CLI tools (`cheapwine export` / `cheapwine unexport`) to manually generate standard Linux desktop launchers (`.desktop` entries) for only the applications you want.
|
|
40
|
+
* **Auto-Discovery Scanner**: Scans Wine Start Menu shortcuts and `drive_c/Program Files` to automatically detect newly installed programs.
|
|
41
|
+
* **Beautiful CLI & Interactive TUI**: Features a clean, colorful, emoji-rich command-line output (inspired by `uv`) and a live interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI) menu for select-and-run workflows.
|
|
42
|
+
* **EasyDistill TUI Editor**: Full-screen interactive configuration editor (`cheapwine easydistill`) for editing `distillery.json` without touching JSON directly.

## Installation
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
To install `cheapwine` locally in editable mode (or from the repository root):
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
```bash
|
|
51
|
+
pip install -e .
|
|
52
|
+
```
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
This registers the `cheapwine` and `cw` entrypoints in your shell.
|
|

|
+
## Quick Start
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
### 1. Initialize a Project
|
|
61
|
+
Create a new directory and initialize the environment. This generates the `distillery.json` settings file and creates the local Wine prefix:
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
```bash
|
|
64
|
+
mkdir my-project && cd my-project
|
|
65
|
+
cheapwine init
|
|
66
|
+
```
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
### 2. Install a Program
|
|
69
|
+
Run your installer (e.g., `setup.exe`) inside the project prefix. `cheapwine` will block it from writing shortcuts to your Linux host applications menu, keeping your desktop clean:
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
```bash
|
|
72
|
+
cheapwine run setup.exe
|
|
73
|
+
```
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
### 3. Scan & List Installed Programs
|
|
76
|
+
Search the prefix for newly installed executables or shortcuts:
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
```bash
|
|
79
|
+
cheapwine list --all
|
|
80
|
+
# or only show auto-detected ones
|
|
81
|
+
cheapwine list --detected
|
|
82
|
+
```
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
### 4. Register the Application by Name
|
|
85
|
+
Register the auto-detected application in `distillery.json` by name only (it will automatically resolve the path to the executable):
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
```bash
|
|
88
|
+
cheapwine add "My Application"
|
|
89
|
+
```
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
### 5. Launch the TUI Menu
|
|
92
|
+
To see a menu of all registered and detected applications, use the arrow keys to navigate, and press Enter to launch:
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
```bash
|
|
95
|
+
cheapwine
|
|
96
|
+
# or
|
|
97
|
+
cheapwine run
|
|
98
|
+
```
|
|
99
|
+
|
|

|
+
## Configuration (`distillery.json`)
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
Here is an example of a fully configured `distillery.json`:
|
|
105
|

|

"notepad": {
|
|
121
|

"exe": "notepad.exe",
|
|
122
|

}
|
|
137
|
+
}
|
|

|
+
}
|
|

## Advanced Configurations
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
### Running a Legacy 32-bit Windows 95 App
|
|
146
|
+
If you have a game or program that requires a pure 32-bit prefix configured for Windows 95, you can add it with specific overrides:
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
```bash
|
|
149
|
+
cheapwine add "RetroGame" "C:\Program Files\game.exe" --arch win32 --win-version win95
|
|
150
|
+
```
|
|
151
|
+
When running `cheapwine run RetroGame`, a separate, isolated 32-bit Wine prefix is created inside `.cheapwine_win32`, and the registry is set to Windows 95 compatibility mode for this app.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
### Using Custom Runners (like Proton)
|
|
154
|
+
You can configure a custom Wine runner (such as Proton for Steam games, Bottles runners, or custom builds) either globally or per-application:
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
**Globally:**
|
|
157
|
+
```bash
|
|
158
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "/home/user/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton8-25/files/bin/wine"
|
|
159
|
+
```
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
**Per-Application:**
|
|
162
|
+
```bash
|
|
163
|
+
cheapwine add "SteamApp" "game.exe" --runner "proton run"
|
|
164
|
+
```
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
### Auto-Downloading Runners by Name
|
|
167
|
+
Specify a downloadable runner by name and version — cheapwine fetches it from GitHub automatically:
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
```bash
|
|
170
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "wine-ge" --runner-version "8-26"
|
|
171
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "proton-ge" --runner-version "8-25"
|
|
172
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "kron4ek" --runner-version "9.0"
|
|
173
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "soda" --runner-version "9.0-1"
|
|
174
|
+
```
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
### Declarative Winetricks
|
|
177
|
+
Define winetricks components in `distillery.json` and they are applied automatically on prefix init:
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
```bash
|
|
180
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "wine-ge-8-26"
|
|
181
|
+
# Then edit distillery.json to add:
|
|
182
|
+
# "winetricks": ["corefonts", "vcrun2022", "dxvk"]
|
|
183
|
+
```
|
|
184
|
+
Components are applied on `cheapwine init` and when running an app that has them configured. Applied components are cached per prefix in `cheapwine_tricks.json` so they are only applied once.
|
|
185
|
+
|
|
186
|
+
Per-application winetricks:
|
|
187
|
+
```bash
|
|
188
|
+
cheapwine add "MyGame" "game.exe" --tricks d3dx11_43 --tricks dxvk
|
|
189
|
+
```
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
### LatencyFleX Support
|
|
192
|
+
Enable LatencyFleX globally or per-application for NVIDIA Reflex-like latency reduction in competitive games:
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
**Globally:**
|
|
195
|
+
```bash
|
|
196
|
+
cheapwine init --latencyflex
|
|
197
|
+
```
|
|
198
|
+
|
|
199
|
+
**Per-Application:**
|
|
200
|
+
```bash
|
|
201
|
+
cheapwine add "CS2" "cs2.exe" --latencyflex
|
|
202
|
+
```
|
|
203
|
+
|
|

## Installation
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
To install `cheapwine` locally in editable mode (or from the repository root):
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
```bash
|
|
35
|
+
pip install -e .
|
|
36
|
+
```
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
This registers the `cheapwine` and `cw` entrypoints in your shell.
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+

|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
## Quick Start
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
### 1. Initialize a Project
|
|
45
|
+
Create a new directory and initialize the environment. This generates the `distillery.json` settings file and creates the local Wine prefix:
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
```bash
|
|
48
|
+
mkdir my-project && cd my-project
|
|
49
|
+
cheapwine init
|
|
50
|
+
```
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
### 2. Install a Program
|
|
53
|
+
Run your installer (e.g., `setup.exe`) inside the project prefix. `cheapwine` will block it from writing shortcuts to your Linux host applications menu, keeping your desktop clean:
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
```bash
|
|
56
|
+
cheapwine run setup.exe
|
|
57
|
+
```
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
### 3. Scan & List Installed Programs
|
|
60
|
+
Search the prefix for newly installed executables or shortcuts:
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
```bash
|
|
63
|
+
cheapwine list --all
|
|
64
|
+
# or only show auto-detected ones
|
|
65
|
+
cheapwine list --detected
|
|
66
|
+
```
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
### 4. Register the Application by Name
|
|
69
|
+
Register the auto-detected application in `distillery.json` by name only (it will automatically resolve the path to the executable):
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
```bash
|
|
72
|
+
cheapwine add "My Application"
|
|
73
|
+
```
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
### 5. Launch the TUI Menu
|
|
76
|
+
To see a menu of all registered and detected applications, use the arrow keys to navigate, and press Enter to launch:
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
```bash
|
|
79
|
+
cheapwine
|
|
80
|
+
# or
|
|
81
|
+
cheapwine run
|
|
82
|
+
```
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|

## Configuration (`distillery.json`)
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
Here is an example of a fully configured `distillery.json`:
|
|

90
|
+
```json
|

"runner_version": "wine-ge-8-26",
|
|
98
|

"latencyflex": false,
|
|
99
|

"winetricks": ["corefonts", "vcrun2022"],
|
|

|
+

|
|

|
|

|

},
|
|
103
|
+
"apps": {
|
|
104
|
+
"notepad": {
|
|
105
|
+
"exe": "notepad.exe",
|
|
106
|
+
"args": ["/A"],
|
|
107
|

"env": {}
|
|

},
|
|

"wine_arch": "win32",
|
|

119
|

|
|
120
|
+
}
|
|
121
|
+
}
|
|
122
|
+
}
|
|
123
|
+
```
|
|
124

## Advanced Configurations
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
### Running a Legacy 32-bit Windows 95 App
|
|
130
|
+
If you have a game or program that requires a pure 32-bit prefix configured for Windows 95, you can add it with specific overrides:
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
```bash
|
|
133
|
+
cheapwine add "RetroGame" "C:\Program Files\game.exe" --arch win32 --win-version win95
|
|
134
|
+
```
|
|
135
|
+
When running `cheapwine run RetroGame`, a separate, isolated 32-bit Wine prefix is created inside `.cheapwine_win32`, and the registry is set to Windows 95 compatibility mode for this app.
|
|
136
|
+
|
|
137
|
+
### Using Custom Runners (like Proton)
|
|
138
|
+
You can configure a custom Wine runner (such as Proton for Steam games, Bottles runners, or custom builds) either globally or per-application:
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
**Globally:**
|
|
141
|
+
```bash
|
|
142
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "/home/user/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton8-25/files/bin/wine"
|
|
143
|
+
```
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
**Per-Application:**
|
|
146
|
+
```bash
|
|
147
|
+
cheapwine add "SteamApp" "game.exe" --runner "proton run"
|
|
148
|
+
```
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
### Auto-Downloading Runners by Name
|
|
151
|
+
Specify a downloadable runner by name and version — cheapwine fetches it from GitHub automatically:
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
```bash
|
|
154
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "wine-ge" --runner-version "8-26"
|
|
155
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "proton-ge" --runner-version "8-25"
|
|
156
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "kron4ek" --runner-version "9.0"
|
|
157
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "soda" --runner-version "9.0-1"
|
|
158
|
+
```
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
### Declarative Winetricks
|
|
161
|
+
Define winetricks components in `distillery.json` and they are applied automatically on prefix init:
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
```bash
|
|
164
|
+
cheapwine init --runner "wine-ge-8-26"
|
|
165
|
+
# Then edit distillery.json to add:
|
|
166
|
+
# "winetricks": ["corefonts", "vcrun2022", "dxvk"]
|
|
167
|
+
```
|
|
168
|
+
Components are applied on `cheapwine init` and when running an app that has them configured. Applied components are cached per prefix in `cheapwine_tricks.json` so they are only applied once.
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
Per-application winetricks:
|
|
171
|
+
```bash
|
|
172
|
+
cheapwine add "MyGame" "game.exe" --tricks d3dx11_43 --tricks dxvk
|
|
173
|
+
```
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
### LatencyFleX Support
|
|
176
|
+
Enable LatencyFleX globally or per-application for NVIDIA Reflex-like latency reduction in competitive games:
|
|
177
|
+
|
|
178
|
+
**Globally:**
|
|
179
|
+
```bash
|
|
180
|
+
cheapwine init --latencyflex
|
|
181
|
+
```
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
**Per-Application:**
|
|
184
|
+
```bash
|
|
185
|
+
cheapwine add "CS2" "cs2.exe" --latencyflex
|
|
186
|
+
```
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
