SkipI

Installer for SketchUp on Linux systems using Wine. It should create a designated wineprefix, download and installs various prerequisistes such as wininet (based on winetricks implementation), the sketchup installer (from http://dl.trimble.com/sketchup/gsu8/FW-3-0-16846-EN.exe), and even a theme for wine (http://aerilius.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Light-Themes-12-10-327631977 - no option for themes as of yet)

System requirements

This script is designed to run on most modern Linux systems - Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc. It may run on other systems.

  • Wine 1.5.4+ or above, with the main executable located in the system path (e.g. /usr/bin/wine)
  • Network connection for downloading required packages.
  • To run this script:
    • Bash (4+ preferably to run this script
    • Various external commands/packages - mktemp, wget, which, cabextract, unzip
  • These are the minimum specs for running SketchUp 8
    • 1 GHz processor.
    • 512 GB RAM.
    • 500 MB of available hard-disk space.
    • 3D class Video Card with 128+ MB, supporting OpenGL v1.5+ . Some intel cards may have issues.
    • Licensing isn't supported over a Wide Area Network (WAN). Also, a windows license would need to be used.
  • Fedora will need the 'wine-opencl' package installed so the sketchup does not contain a black screen.

Usage

  • Make this script executable, run it... no options yet

Known bugs / required features

  • set theme
  • only does sketchup 8, no options
  • won't work if wine is not in path
  • wget exits with error if file already exists - could check with sha1sum first
  • if sha1sum mismatch, offer to re-download the file (remove the file, run download command first)

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wilfm/SkipI/master/skipi.sh
chmod +x skipi.sh
