When I am try to install Internet Explorer using the command sudo apt-get install wine cabextract
) my VLC player gets unpacked/uninstalled/removed.
Please provide me with a suitable command to install Internet Explorer.
The host of that file at http://www.tatanka.com.br now advises
"The new Internet Explorer and Edge can not be run on Wine anymore"
Instead, they recommend
"So Microsoft has its own VMs for this:"
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
"Virtual Box, vagrant, VMWare and others are supported."
Ubuntu's default web browser is Mozilla Firefox. Some web sites require Internet Explorer for full functionality, and it is possible to make the browser claim to be Internet Explorer.
To install Internet Explorer you will need to install two components first, Wine and cab extract.
sudo apt-get install wine cabextract
To finish the install you need to download Internet Explorer.
wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-*
./ies4linux
