💻 Installation

the installer scripts use a virtual drive of wine and makes a new winprefix for illustrator

first of all, you need to clone the repository with this command:

git clone https://github.com/Gictorbit/illustratorCClinux.git
cd illustratorCClinux/scripts

then you can easily run illustratorSetup.sh script to install illustrator cc on your Linux distro

chmod +x illustratorSetup.sh
./illustratorSetup.sh

you can use -d to specify the installation path, and -c for the cache directory. for example:

./illustratorSetup.sh -d /mnt/storage/illustratorSetup.sh

or with c flag

./illustratorSetup.sh -d /mnt/myfiles/illustrator -c /mnt/cache

when no options are given, the installer script will use the default path, the uninstaller script and others will detect your custom path so there is no problem, I recommend using the -d option and having the default cache directoy

🍷 wineprefix Configuration

if you need to configure the wineprefix of illustrator you can use winecfg.sh script just run the command below

chmod +x winecfg.sh
./winecfg.sh

♨️ Uninstall

to uninstall illustrator you can use the uninstaller script with commands below

chmod +x uninstaller.sh
./uninstaller.sh
