Re: NKit on Linux Help

Edit: It may be possible to run the CLI (terminal) applications using mono. You can try using it before giving Wine a go (should be a better overall experience if it works).

You'll still need to install mono for Wine if you end up using it though (look it up, should be in the Wine wiki).

The nkit programs are written specifically for Windows platforms (with no option to compile it for other operating systems). You need to run them using Wine: https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_Guide.

The Debian wiki has a nice tutorial for setting it up: https://wiki.debian.org/Wine (should be the same for Ubuntu and derivatives).

Note: Applications running on Wine are prone to have errors, so don't rely on it much! Also, by default Wine will look terrible, which you can fix by applying a theme (look it up).
