I have windows and Ubuntu operating systems i.e. dual booted on my laptop, and I have installed wine latest version. I already have IDM installed in windows.

How can I use it or open it in ubuntu. I know I can install it from wine new setup but I don't wanna install it again(trial version) when I have full version in windows. Is there any way?

  • No, there isn't. OSes in dual- or multi-boot are totally independent. And you don't need IDM, there are dozens of native alternatives. Native software is *always* preferable. –  Feb 09 '19 at 15:28
  • @GabrielaGarcia can u tell me the names of some native downloading softwares which are free and works like IDM?? – R.Bansal Feb 09 '19 at 15:38
  • I think uGet is the closest match. –  Feb 09 '19 at 15:41
  • @GabrielaGarcia from where I can download and install it, and after installing how can i integerate it in mozilla? – R.Bansal Feb 09 '19 at 15:48
  • The software is already available in the Ubuntu official repositories and it can be installed like any other software. The Ubuntu Software app should *always* be you first stop when searching for software. Once installed open it and adjust the settings (if I remember correctly it can replace Firefox's download feature or just be started independently by pressing shift while clicking the link; also - I think - it places an additional option in the right-click menu). –  Feb 09 '19 at 15:52

No, i dont think so...

Either :

  1. Download the IDM instaler and install it under wine. Open terminal : wine /path-to-installer/instaler.exe
  2. install an alternative :

sudo apt-get install uget

  • If i install IDM under wine then is there any change occurs in windows IDM soft? Because i don't want to change the IDM in Windows. – R.Bansal Feb 10 '19 at 01:55
  • No, but still would be easier to install an alternative. I use wine a lot, and almost never easy to install random stuff. So almost every program i want to run/install require me to make some adjusts. – Vitor Oliveira Feb 10 '19 at 23:06
