Simply running HLS under wine appears to work for most things. One thing that appears to be broken at this time is the audio waveform display. For more information on HLS and wine, read this thread: http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?21675-HLS-amp-Linux-using-wine

Upgrading

Upon HLS launch, HLS will check the download site to see if there is a newer version available. If there is, a prompt will be shown suggesting to take you there for a download. Upgrading follows almost the same procedure as installation, only you will extract the files of the ZIP on top of the existing installation.
