Installing Wine on Centos 5

Decided to try loading Wine on my Centos 5 install. It was dead simple. These instructions should also work for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

First step was to load the EPEL yum repository:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-2.noarch.rpm

Next I just called yum to install wine:

yum install wine

That's it. Afterwards, I found Wine on my Applications menu, and was able to double click on a Windows installer (WinSCP in this case), and it just worked!
