Method 1: Installing Internet Explorer for Linux

Installing necessary packages

IEs4linux is now available in the "community" repo.

pacman -S ies4linux

If the package cannot be found, you may need to enable the "community" repo by editing /etc/pacman.conf, uncomment the following lines:

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Installing IEs4Linux

After installing the package, run ies4linux and optionally change the settings. If you want all users to be able to use IEs4Linux or just don't want IEs4Linux in your home dir, run:

sudo mkdir /opt/ies4linux
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/ies4linux
sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin

Then, in the ies4linux setup interface, set the installation directory to /opt/ies4linux, the bin folder to /usr/bin, and the downloads directory to /opt/ies4linux/downloads. After installing IEs4Linux, restore original permissions on /usr/bin by running:

sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin

Method 2: Installing Internet Explorer for Linux (from latest source code)

IEs4linux comes with version 5, 5.5 and 6.

You'll need wine to emulate and cabextract to extract the .CAB files.

Installing necessary packages

pacman -S wine cabextract

Getting ies4linux to run

wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-*
./ies4linux

Follow further instructions by the 'ies4linux' script.

That's all folks.
