The first thing I would do is download the newest versions of Wine: I don't know everything about PlayOnMac because I only use Linux, but most of the concepts should be similar. The best part of manual installation is you get to learn what is happening behind-the-scenes and you learn the inner-workings of PlayOnMac. I've spent the last 9 years doing manual installations in PlayOnLinux and posting step-by-step guides. (Edited to change the tone of the second paragraph, and add information throughout.)Īh, this is where I live! Manual installations.
