Requirements
Dude WGET (could already be installed on your Linux system, but installation instructions are still provided)
Installing WINE
There are various methods of installing WINE on the many Linux distributions. I will briefly cover Debian based systems and RedHat based systems.
Debian
WGET is installed by default on Debian systems. The fastest way to install WINE on Debian is by installing WINE via the apt package manager:
RedHat
Users that want the most current fonts are required to build the fonts yourself on Redhat based systems. The steps are outlined here, though I have provided a link to an rpm that can be used.
yum install wget yum install wine wget -c http://easylinux.info/uploads/msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm rpm -ivh msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm mkdir -p /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/ cp /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
CentOS While CentOS originates from RedHat you the official repositories do not have the Wine package. You will need to install another one such as RPMForge. Once the RPM is put in place, there are no configurations or even a configuration directory (~/.wine). A simple option is to run a Windows binary, such as tcpvcon.exe and run:
wine tcpvcon.exe
This will create the configuration directories and some default configuration. Proceed with the Microsoft TrueType Fonts at this point.
wget http://www.mikrotik.com/download/dude/3.5/dude-install-3.5.exe
(get the latest version link from the DUDE page on mikrotik.com)

Choose the appropriate language for your install; currently only English and Latvian are supported.
The user will be presented with a license agreement screen, accept if you agree.
Reset Configuration The Dude Client(required) The Dude Server Start Menu Shortcuts
Reset Configuration should be selected if you are updating Dude to a newer version. The Dude Client is a required component, it allows your to connect to a Dude server The Dude Server is the actual server component that generated maps and monitors services.
I will choose all components except Reset Configuration for this installation. This is the first time that Dude has been installed on this system. Choose the appropriate component options accordingly.
Uncheck Dude Server if you already have Dude installed on another node on your network. This will allow you to login and monitor the server node without the need to regenerate your current network maps.
Dude will be installed to c:\Program Files\Dude by default, you may choose a different location here if need be.
Click Install
The installation is complete, you can choose to run Dude from the installer
Click Finish
Note: you should start the Dude from the root user (or delegate some permissions to your regular user), or else the Dude will not be able to ping hosts. Local mode - this option will not work for Linux users running the Dude under Wine, you should use remote connection to 127.0.0.1 host instead to connect to the local Dude server. Remote connection by default uses TCP port 2210 for regular mode, and TCP port 2211 for secure mode, so make sure these ports are not limited by a firewall. The ports may be changed in the server's Global Settings menu. The default username for connecting to a server is admin with no password. You can change this later

Uninstalling Dude
The executable to uninstall The Dude is in the location that the user specified during installation. The default location is listed below. This will run the uninstall program.

Issues
Fonts missing from network maps, graphs From within the Dude client, choose Files from the dude's left nav bar. Click the + to upload a file. Browse to your local Program Files\Dude\data\files\ and upload the three .ttf files listed (arial.ttf, Vera.ttf, VeraMono.ttf). More detail in this thread. "Invalid OID" errors Lines between nodes in the Network Map may give stats, yet still say invalid oid in many spots. Choose Mib Nodes from The Dude's navigation. From the File tab, click the + to upload MIBs from \Program Files\Dude\data\files\mibs\. If you have the space, upload them all. If not, upload at least mikrotik.txt andSNMPv2-*.txt.
