Hi gibaalav
the way I know you need to start it from the Terminal.
1) Installing
- download the program (it will be in the Downloads folder);
- open a Terminal (you will be in the home folder);
- type: sudo sh ./Downloads/wings-1.5.3-linux.bzip2.run (that will install Wings3d)
2) Running Wings3d
- open a Terminal (you will be in the home folder);
- type: sh ./wings-1.5.3/wings

This method worked for me! Thank you.
Additional question:
I made a little script by copying sh ./wings-1.5.3/wings into gedit, then save it to the desktop.
I changed Permission and set it to start with Oracle Java 7 Runtime, but nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Or can it only be started from the Terminal?
Thanks for any help.

These ultra-short cryptic asnwers are no help.
Sorry.

Create a desktop file that runs this command:
Code:
sh ~/wings-1.5.3/wingsRE: I have had problems installing Wings 3D in Ubuntu 14.04 - rlocatellidigital - 01-06-2015
Thank you, micheus, for these precise tips! Now I can count on this powerful software on my machine!

I got one question because in the past I was trying to use W3D with Linux but, found one issue which could not be solved... could you tell me which camera mode (pref/camera) you use? Blender?
Normally, third button is used for rotation, but on Linux I had to click it double.
Or maybe there's someone else who is using Wings and Linux with Blender camera mode and could share with some information about it?
