One of my hang-ups of using Linux is that I would either have to settle for the lower featured web app version of my favorite piece of paid Bible software, Verbum, or I would have to run a virtual machine for this single piece of software. Recently, in my normal scanning of GitHub, I found a user who created a script that takes care of all the Wine dependencies and tricks needed to install the Logos Bible Software onto Linux.
The only difference, software side, between Logos and Verbum is the logo that shows during boot. You still get all the Catholic modules and books you have purchased.
This shell script only requires for you to change permissions on the file and then execute it. Some distributions may not have “winbind” installed yet. To do this you just need to install it on your distribution
#For Debian based or Ubuntu the command would be
sudo apt-get install winbind
#This will take care of that dependency.
HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE SCRIPT BY GITHUB USER FERION11
A verbum version is a good idea… I’ve modified Daniel’s ferion script to create a verbum version and submitted a pull request…see here https://github.com/jg00dman/LogosLinuxInstaller/raw/7da1eb0f4853bed8890896da4efd3ba3a2e2520e/fast_install_AppImageWine_and_Verbum.sh
Thank you both so much for this. This is much better than using the Web-only version!
