I`ve installed Scrivener under Linux Mint just two days ago and thought I share a updated installation guide in 2026. 
First of this guide should (theoretically) work under any Linux distribution, but as always your mileage can vary.
First step: Install Wine 11.0 from the official homepage.
Second step: Install Winetricks
Third step: Install Windows Net 4.8 (or the activation process for Scrivener does not work)
Fourth step: Under Winecfg set Windows 10 as the preferrer way to run windows programs
Fifth step: Download and install Scrivener 3 onto your system. The installer should run without a problem.
Sixth step: Navigate to your virtual C: drive on your system to your Scrivener folder and rename the Texttospeech folder to something else. Or else Scrivener will hang on startup.
Final step: Start Scrivener, choose a backup folder and enter your license. Wait a few moments for the activation process to finish and that`s it. Enjoy your Scrivener install!
