classic VPython on Linux with Wine

[Jay Wang]

If one wants to run classic VPython on Linux (as opposed to Jupyter vpython), it's probably best done through the Windows virtualizer called Wine. Wine provides a virtual layer emulating Windows OS but runs at native speed.

Going this route, you would need to install other packages like matplotlib, scipy, etc, yourself. See instructions for DIY custom installation here: http://www.faculty.umassd.edu/j.wang/book/install/install.htm
