On your menu bar in CrossOver, select 'Configure' and then 'Install Software.'.From here on out, I will be detailing this in CrossOver, so you might need to search for the equivalent items in any other WINE client. Start it up once you get it installed.Install your WINE client by dragging CrossOver or PlayOnMac to your main Applications folder.A Steam account, which can be created as you do this.I'm going through this from a CrossOver point of view, but PlayOnMac will be very similar if not identical to this process. You can also use a free one called PlayOnMac. I personally use CrossOver, which I got from a Stack Social deal iirc. Posted by fluffymoof, February 16th, 2016 Because the OS uses different language structures (API) WINE simply redirects the graphic drivers and other functions. WINE is a program overlay that makes Windows games and apps 'think' they are running in Windows. WINE is an acronym that means WINE Is NOT an Emulator. Cryptic won't ban you for this, they need your money, they want you to play this game. People on Mac OS X can also use this information to install and run Star Trek Online. If you own a tablet or phone they run Android OS which is another 'flavor' of Linux. Tech support won't help you diagnose issues. They won't be responsible for your choice of OS. The official response of the developers and company motto is going to say they don't support it.
