I have installed DAZ Studio 4.9.2.70 for Windows (64-bit) on Linux (Debian 8.5 64-bit) with wine 1.9.10 (Staging). The DAZ CMS is connected to the PostgreSQL running on Linux.
Now it is in working condition, I can use the DAZ Connect on it too.
I would like to share the steps I performed. The following steps assumed wine is already installed.
0. Use winetricks to get the followings: vcrun2005, vcrun2010, d3dx9
1. Install PostgreSQL
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib-9.4
sudo apt-get install pgadmin3
Notes: pgadmin3 is optional.
2. Setup DAZ Studio Content DB
sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE ROLE dzcms LOGIN
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE REPLICATION;
CREATE DATABASE "Content"
WITH OWNER = dzcms
ENCODING = 'UTF8'
TABLESPACE = pg_default
CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;
\c Content
CREATE EXTENSION citext
SCHEMA public
VERSION "1.0";
ALTER ROLE dzcms
SET search_path = dzcontent, public;
3. Modify PostgreSQL configuration to allow dzcms logon without password.
sudo -u postgres vi /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_hba.conf
Change "md5" to "trust" for both IPv4 and IPv6 local connections:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust
4. Restart PostgreSQL
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
5. Install DAZ Studio 4.9 by using wine as "Windows XP." It is VERY IMPORTANT, I spent days to figure out why the CMS is not working just because I installed it by using wine as "Windows 7."
6. Setup DAZ Studio CMS connection before starting DAZ Studio.
Create the file .wine/drive_c/users/<your_linux_user_name>/Application Data/DAZ 3D/cms/cmscfg.json with the following contents:
{
"Port" : 5432,
"ConnectionURI" : "postgresql://dzcms@localhost:5432/Content"
}
7. Start DAZ Studio, the database Content should be populated after that. You can check it by using psql command-line or pgadmin3 GUI.

BMPWork: comparation with other graphic software I
This text document is the final annex for the BMPWORK utility before I will start working on the GUI. It's basically finished, but I'm still correcting bugs and working on the final EXTRA effector for fires, 3D stars, and similiar effects (if you hit an error, try to dowload the program again - if the RAR's size is different, it might be corrected (new version has been uploaded). If not, please report it). Here you can find my plans, how it will work, or how can you do some of the common work with it. If you are interested in using this package or its future GUI, you can learn how to master it in the meantime. Since BMPWORK works in the si...
