How to run LTspice in Linux

Disclaimer I have no relation with Analog Devices or LTspice development at all.

Disclaimer This guide is a "it works for me" type. YMMV.

Disclaimer Tested on Manjaro 24.0 release, but it should work on any Linux if you can install a recent Wine emulator.

Stop Disclaiming and go

LTspice works quite well using Wine; I tested it in a Linux Manjaro workstation with Wine 9.8-1.

  1. Install wine with the software manager
  2. Download the 24.X.Y (tested with 24.0.12) version of LTspice; you'll have a LTspice64.msi file
  3. In a terminal, cd where the msi file is, and run wine msiexec /i ./LTspice64.msi. Accept all the default options.
  4. That'it it. You should have a Wine Menu entry in your application menu, and you can run LTspice from there.
  5. Optional, but useful: use winecfg and add a drive (for example, Y:) pointing to your home directory.
  6. Enjoy.
