I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on my machine and I want to install some programs such as the windows program "proteus" and I can't install them on my machine.

I searched a lot and a lot for solution but have not found an acceptable answer. I don't have enough space to install windows beside of Linux. I also know that wine can run windows application but it doesn't work for me.

If any of you know alternative program for Proteus. I would appreciate that.

if you only want to use windows software then use a windows OS. However, if you want to understand if there are alternatives (often better) then please reword your question. – fossfreedom♦ Nov 9 '11 at 9:51
You can also use wineHQ for installing windows software or tryton-proteus binary package in Ubuntu Oneiric amd64 – Gaurav_Java Nov 9 '11 at 10:10
in fact if there are alternative programs for 1-proteus ...2-mikroC....3-visual studio ... it would be better . – Salahuddin Nov 9 '11 at 10:45
the way this site works is a question and answer format - so individual questions is better. I'll reword your question for you to clarify what I'm saying. – fossfreedom♦ Nov 9 '11 at 10:47
Are you referring to the circuit board software? – RolandiXor♦ Nov 9 '11 at 14:23

If you want, you can install Proteus 7.0 which is functional on Ubuntu 12.04 (32bits) with Wine or PlayonLinux. However, newer versions (7.5 or 8.0) won't work since wine finishes with errors during execution.

For your reading pleasure, here is my answer in French:

Salut, si tu veux encore installer Proteus-Isis, je te recommande la version 7.0 qui est fonctionnel sur ubuntu 12.04 avec Wine ou PlayonLinux.Cependant,pour les nouvelles versions (7.5 ou 8.0) Wine fini par des erreurs lors de l'exécution. Contente toi avec ce qui fonctionne sans te casser trop la tête, espérons que les prochaines mise à jours apporteront plus de liberté !

If you are talking about the medical software; then this is a link to a Linux version:

http://www.proteme.org/download3.html

If you are talking a PCB design software the following are potential alternatives:

  • KiCad (available in the software center)

  • PCB Designer (available in software center)

  • gEDA (available in the software center)

  • Visolate (available in the software center)

thanks for your reply ..but proteus isnot just a program to design circuits .. it's fully simulation...dealing with pic ..microcontroller ..and a lot of other staff .. so i don't think that those program are enough.. but i have installed windows 7 (despite it's not what i wanted to do )but i think that this is the best solution .. thank you again . – Salahuddin Nov 12 '11 at 13:58
