Note: This is currently a work in progress as the download server is down. Otherwise, the install works perfectly.​

Photoshop CC2019 on Debian​

To install Photoshop on Debian, you must first install or update your Wine installation to version 6.0.

Part 1) https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian

Wine 8/9 install:
**************************************************************
Install wget if you haven't already

Code:
sudo apt update && upgrade

Code:
apt-cache search {package}
apt-cache search wget
apt-cache search wget | grep wget
apt search wget

Code:
sudo apt install wget

Add the repository

Code:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Code:
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
Code:
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/dists/bookworm/winehq-bookworm.sources

Update the package information
Code:
sudo apt update

Install Wine
Code:
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

*************************************************************

To start configuring Wine, run the winecfg command in your terminal.

Code:
winecfg

The command installs Mono and Gecko and sets the Wine environment. Do not change the configuration to anything and leave set to Windows 7, hit OK on config window.

Click on the “Install” button, and the installation will start. Once done, a new dialog will appear, prompting you to install Gecko. Again click on the “Install” button. When the installation is completed, the Wine configuration dialog will be shown. On the applications tab, choose Windows 10 for the default settings. Once finished, close the dialog box.

Part 2)

Install winetricks:

Code:
sudo apt install winetricks

If you have trouble getting winetricks for Debian 12, you can download it from:

https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/winetricks/download

Code:
 winetricks allfonts
This is optional, helps with some compatability


Code:
cd photoshopCClinux


Now can easily run setup.sh script to install photoshop cc on your Linux distribution. Make file executable:

Code:
chmod +x setup.sh

Code:
./setup.sh

You can use -d to specify the installation path, and -c for the cache directory. for example:

Code:
./PhotoshopSetup.sh -d /mnt/myfiles/photoshop

or

Code:
./PhotoshopSetup.sh -d /mnt/myfiles/photoshop -c /mnt/cache

When no options are given, the installer script will use the default path.

Code:
./PhotoshopSetup.sh

Photoshop Menu - To install Photoshop CC type: 1
**Notes:
## When Adobe CC window appears, just choose Next.
## Photoshop CC icon in menu list. There may be two small errors which come up the first time. It only happens once and they go away.
##If you need to modify your program files, Wine's files are stored in /home/user/.wine/drive_c/ by default.

/.wine/ is hidden. Press control + H to show hidden files.

I finally was able to install mono packages and create a wine64 install of Photoshop CC. It is stable so far and I will continue to work to get the tutorial up and running so that everyone else can enjoy Photoshop in Debian.
