We click on Explore and we look for the installer of Evernote for Windows that we downloaded at the beginning: We select the version that we had installed, 1.4.1: It asks us to write a name for the application that we are going to install. Now we select Install a program in a new virtual drive (you already know that at the end of each step you have to Next, so from now on I'm going to skip it): This screen opens up that tells us things that I know they will not read, so we just click Next: We close that window and press the button Install:Īt the bottom, we click Install an unlisted program: We wait for you to download and install it, and if everything went well, we will see how it now appears on the right side: In the next window, on the left side, we select the version 1.4.1 and click on the button indicated to install it: If you want to experience skip 3 screenshots, if you want to go for the method that worked for me, continue with the instructions as is. This step may or may not be necessary, depending on the distro you use and the versions of Wine y PlayOnLinux available in the repositories.

In such a way, the best alternative to use Evernote on the desk of Linux is to install the client Windows through Wine, which has the disadvantage that if it is done in the common way it does not always work.Īs it is, I'm going to show you now the method I use to install Evernote on my GNU / Linux with Wine and which has been the most effective so far. Another option is to use the full web client, something not valid for those looking to access their notes offline. The community has created some clients such as NixNote o everpad, which however are still quite far from the official client. The downside for users of Linux is that, despite being available for a wide variety of platforms (even WebOS), Evernote does not have a native client for Linux and they don't seem interested in developing it. Some of its features are: ability to write notes with a rich text editor (similar to Microsoft Word o LibreOffice Writer), classification of notes by notebooks and labels, clients for web, PC, mobile and tablets with synchronization between all of them, possibility to attach any type of file (up to 25 MB in the free version), save web pages with your browser extensions (with smart self-tagging), take screenshots and photos and archive them automatically, take voice notes, create lists of tasks and reminders, share notes and edit them in group, etc, etc, etc. Its wide selection of functions makes it an essential tool in the daily lives of many of us. Evernote is, by huge difference, the best note-taking app out there today.
