Wine HQ installation on FreeBSD

I keep on wandering on the internet go get the correct steps to install WineHQ on FreeBSD as the steps provided on WineHQ website are not updated and even the i386 package of Wine is not available in FBSD ports.

By following the below steps I hope the WineHQ will start working properly on your Bestie system.

sudo pkg update

and then 

sudo pkg install wine wine-gecko wine-mono wine-proton

then run winecfg

since the i386 (32 Bit) packages have been dropped from ports, we must enable them at the OS level.

/usr/local/share/wine/pkg32.sh install wine mesa-dri

the above lines should be run without sudo. 

Enable the temporary mount point 

sudo mount -t procfs proc /proc

To make it permanent add:

proc /proc procfs rw 0 0

to /etc/fstab.
