How to install Safari browser on Linux?

Linux

Safari is Apple's proprietary browser, installed by default on macOS and iOS. It does not have an official version for Linux, but you can still install it if you need to test the behavior of sites or interfaces in Safari. In this article, we will look at how to install Safari on Linux using the Wine environment.

Please note: Safari for Windows is no longer updated (the latest version is 5.1.7 from 2012). Using this version is only allowed for basic testing. There will be no full compatibility with the current macOS version of Safari.

Step 1. Installing Wine

Wine allows you to run Windows applications on Linux. Let's install it through the package manager. For Debian / Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine -y

For Fedora, use the command:

sudo dnf install wine

Check the installation:

wine --version

Step 2. Downloading Safari for Windows

Download Safari 5.1.7 from the official Apple archive:

wget -L --user-agent=jj 'https://www.techspot.com/downloads/downloadnowfile/4184/?evp=efb9a6e0294de28dbc6ffc726c78604e&file=4372' -O Safari.exe
Download

Step 3. Installing Safari via Wine

After downloading the installation file, run the installation via Wine:

wine Safari.exe

The Safari graphical installer will appear. Accept the terms and complete the installation.

Step 4. Launch the browser

After installation, you can launch Safari with the following command:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Safari/Safari.exe

If the path is different, find the file manually:

find ~/.wine -name "Safari.exe"

While Safari does not have a native version for Linux, it can be installed via Wine for basic testing. However, keep in mind that this is an outdated version of the browser. To accurately reproduce the behavior of sites in the current version of Safari, it is better to use cloud services or real Apple devices.
