Official Winehq macOS Packages

Winehq macOS Builds

Packages won't be pushed to Winehq until bug 52354 is resolved.

Downloads count

Please Note;

These will function like macOS pkg releases but are packaged within a .tar.xz.
I won't be providing a pkg installer, these packages include wine and wine64

Minimum requirement of macOS Mojave

macOS High Sierra won't work due to bug 52354

If you need the latest versions of wine on something older you can use macports-wine my Macports overlay
that allows compiling the last versions of wine from source on OS X 10.8 and later. This avoids complications with libraries as these will be built for your OS.

How to install using brew;

First add cask-versions

brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
Available packages;
  • wine-stable
  • wine-devel
  • wine-staging
Next select the desired wine package to be installed, for an example I'll select wine-stable
brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine-stable

This will install Wine Stable into /Applications

How manually to install;

Download the desired package from releases unpack, now move the Wine * bundle to /Applications and use as you would a Winehq release.

gecko & mono are included;

wine-gecko & wine-mono are included within these custom Wine-* packages, usually wine(64) will download and then install .msi packages into each and every wineprefix increasing prefix size instead the "shared" packages are used to reduce prefix size.
