This setup is for Ubuntu 22.04 but the same approach can be applied to any linux distribution. Ubuntu Wine packages are severely outdated and new versions of CVC do not work. It is necessary to first uninstall any old Wine packages and configuration and install Wine directly from [official WineHQ repositories](https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu).

Bleeding-edge distributions usually come with the latest Wine packages out of the box so the following step is not necessary.

2. Download and install the repository key:
3. Add the repository sources:
4. Installation:

### CVC installation

1. Installation executable and 7z firmware archive must be in the same directory.
2. Run installation executable under Wine (`wine Cue_Visual_Composer_<VERSION>_Setup.exe`).
3. Click through install steps.
4. CVC should now be functional but with various visual glitches.

### Wine configuration

1. Run `winecfg`.
2. In *Applications* tab add: `Cue Visual Composer.exe` (*C:/Program Files/CUE/Cue Visual Composer/Cue Visual Composer.exe*)
3. In *Graphics* tab uncheck: *Allow the window manager to decorate the windows*
4. In *Libraries* tab: *New override for library* add:
  1. **d2d1** (click *Edit…* and select as *Native (Windows)*)
  2. **d3d10** (click *Edit…* and select as *Native (Windows)*)
  3. **d3d10_1** (click *Edit…* and select as *Native (Windows)*)
5. Final configuration should look like this:
