Running Clip Studio Paint EX on Linux October 6, 2026

Clip Studio Paint EX 1.x running on Linux through Wine

I bought Clip Studio Paint EX 1.13.2 a few years ago and wanted to run it on Linux. Celsys lists Windows and macOS, so I set up a Wine prefix and worked through the install.

Paint opens on my Debian 13 desktop, and I was able to sign in. I wrote down the setup in linux-clipstudio-installer. It includes the script, the steps I used for my Deco LW tablet, and notes on license activation.
