Okay so I'm relatively new to Linux SliTaz, and I wanted to download playonlinux (found here) And I downloaded the version for all distributions, and extracted it onto the desktop. I have absolutely no idea what to do now, help please? Sorry if this is really simple or has already been asked before.

You can find wine and playonlinux within the package repository. No need to get it off the playonlinux website.

Hi. I too wanted to run / install playonlinux, recently, but to no avail.
@TheInfinitePower: after you unzip it, open a terminal in the directory where you extracted the archive you downloaded and run the executable called playonlinux; this is clearly explained on their site: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html
When I try to run that script I get the following errors: ImportError: No module named wxversion. I could find no such package in the Slitaz packages.
@Trixar_za: playonlinux doesn't seem to be available, at least for my searches, not from tazpanel nor from terminal; is it part of the stable repo or is it only available on cooking?

Hi,
Install wxpython it should contain the wxversion module that the playonlinux script calls for at install.

@nitrogen_widget: I have wxpython installed, however it doesn't contain wxversion. If you search wxpython in tazpanel, and click on the package name, you get the list of installed files; none of them is wxversion.
@desmo: it seems that the cooking repository is full of goodies, but how safe is it to use packages from there? I mean, what does it take to push a package from cooking to stable?

@BugRaiser - sorry! That is how I resolved my issue on another linux distro. my bad.

I have just tried the playonlinux package on the cooking repository. ...And it doesn't work.
First, running the script says it needs the get-icoutils package. Which doesn't exist in the 4.0 or cooking repo. But in the cooking repo there's a package called icoutils, which I installed and proved to be the missing "link".
Lastly, when I re-ran the get-playonlinux script, it stopped again because of wxversion, so back at where I started. Unfortunately, there's no package called wxversion, not in 4.0 or cooking repo. It clearly is part of some other package, but which one? And in what repo?
But I can live without playonlinux, so giving up for now... It's just a pity that SliTaz packages aren't listing all the needed dependencies right, this is not the first time it happens.

Finally!!!!!!!!
PlayOnLinux working!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aparently one update for wxpython package in cooking repository.
Download package and use --forced for instalation (if you have instaled version for Slitaz 4.0)
