wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks

#add the 2 dlls override we need to support all graphic levels on the game (without those, only low will work properly in most cases).
./winetricks dlls d3dcompiler_43
./winetricks dlls d3dx9_43

#download and install the game
wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/starsonata_download/starsonata2_installer.exe
