IEs4Linux is a free and open source script that allows you to launch Internet Explorer on Linux using Wine . It is more accurate to install versions 5 , 5.5 and 6 , there is also compatibility with Internet Explorer 7 (the browser engine loads with IE6 interface, but it displays the page in IE7 style well).

Technical Notes
Version 2.99.0.1 does not work directly out of the box in Wine and KDE. To solve the problem you need to create a symbolic link.
sudo ln -sv / usr / bin / winecfg / usr / bin / wineprefixcreate
and run ./ies4linux with the --no-gui argument on the command line. [2]
Closing a project
The development of IEs4Linux has been discontinued since 2008, [3] and will probably not start again. [four]
