IEs4Linux is the simple way to have Microsoft Internet Explorer running on any Linux which runs Wine. All you need is one script to setup different versions of IE on your machine. It’s free and open source and will be very useful for designers and web developers to test their applications in the legacy browsers.

I am assuming that you have wine and cabextract installed ( should be default on Hardy ), but if not, for Ubuntu, run:



You simply need to run the following four commands to install IEs4Linux



This latest version comes with GUI installation,




Click on "Advanced" button and check the IE 7 checkbox at the bottom, then "OK" to proceed.




Then "OK" again in the first window.

IEs4Linux will finish the rest of the installation process for you. After the installation, the IE6 and IE7 icons will be created on the desktop.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed IE6 and IE7 on your machine.

PS: Please be reminded that IE7 in IEs4Linux is still in beta, use it on your own risk!
