| Open Workbench on Linux Mint using Wine |
What is Open Workbench?
Open Workbench is a Project Planning Software comparable to Microsoft Project. There are mixed views on whether it is truly open source or not but as it is considered a very good alternative for Microsoft Project and it is free to download, it is something I as a Project Manager would want to know about. After all some of my clients are going to be using this. :)
Now then, as of writing this article Open Workbench is not available from the well publicised sitewww.openworkbench.org which seems to be down. Instead it is available for download fromhttp://www.itdesign.de/en/
As you will find that the installer is an exe and the product is made for Windows platform and requires Java Runtime Environment, we will need to either use Windows in virtualbox or Wine. I am going to cover below the steps for installing the software on Linux using Wine.
