I have windows and Ubuntu operating systems i.e. dual booted on my laptop, and I have installed wine latest version. I already have IDM installed in windows.

How can I use it or open it in ubuntu. I know I can install it from wine new setup but I don't wanna install it again(trial version) when I have full version in windows. Is there any way?

  • No, there isn't. OSes in dual- or multi-boot are totally independent. And you don't need IDM, there are dozens of native alternatives. Native software is always preferable. –  Feb 09 '19 at 15:28
  • @GabrielaGarcia can u tell me the names of some native downloading softwares which are free and works like IDM?? – R.Bansal Feb 09 '19 at 15:38
  • I think uGet is the closest match. –  Feb 09 '19 at 15:41
  • @GabrielaGarcia from where I can download and install it, and after installing how can i integerate it in mozilla? – R.Bansal Feb 09 '19 at 15:48
  • The software is already available in the Ubuntu official repositories and it can be installed like any other software. The Ubuntu Software app should always be you first stop when searching for software. Once installed open it and adjust the settings (if I remember correctly it can replace Firefox's download feature or just be started independently by pressing shift while clicking the link; also - I think - it places an additional option in the right-click menu). –  Feb 09 '19 at 15:52

No, i dont think so...

Either :

  1. Download the IDM instaler and install it under wine. Open terminal : wine /path-to-installer/instaler.exe
  2. install an alternative :

sudo apt-get install uget

  • If i install IDM under wine then is there any change occurs in windows IDM soft? Because i don't want to change the IDM in Windows. – R.Bansal Feb 10 '19 at 01:55
  • No, but still would be easier to install an alternative. I use wine a lot, and almost never easy to install random stuff. So almost every program i want to run/install require me to make some adjusts. – Vitor Oliveira Feb 10 '19 at 23:06
