Although Google released Picasa 3.0 for Linux , a company spokesman said the higher, are only available for users Mac and Windows because of the low adoption of Picasa 3.0 between the Linux users.
indisputably Picasa is one of the best programs to manage our images and it is unfortunate that Google stop update version for Linux. The latest Linux version is 3.0, while Windows is on the 3.6, have recently added interesting features such as facial recognition and lots of bugs fixed.
really do not understand why they are difficult to maintain Google Linux version of Picasa , because even the installed version from the repository of Google, I mean the inux version is emulated with Wine.
Well If you are interested in having the latest version of this program on your computer, then we will see how to install Picasa 3.6 in Ubuntu .
could make it easier and download the Windows version of Picasa for and install Wine directory, but doing so will lack the integration with Linux (with Gnome, KDE, etc.), such as:

- via plugins.
- Download Picasa Web Albums albums more quickly. Support for Xinerama
- etc.
How to install Picasa 3.6 on Ubuntu
The first thing to do anyway is install Wine, because as I said, even the Linux version is emulated with this program. If you do not have Wine, you can install with the following line to the console:sudo apt-get install wine

Once downloaded both files, install the Ubuntu version that is a. deb (we saw how to install files . deb in Ubuntu ).
So far we have installed Picasa for Linux then we install Picasa for Windows using Wine . To do this right click on the installer and select "Open with Wine ...", and follow the same installation process on Windows.
After installing uncheck all boxes and press Finish. Once you've installed both versions of Picasa, you can:
Copy the contents of the folder in Picasa that is in the following path:
/ home / username / .wine / drive_c / Archivos of programa/Google/Picasa3Before pasting the copied files should run nautilus as super user, for it opens the console and type one of the following lines:
kdesudo dolphinsO
gksu nautilus opens a new window , there siguiene seeks to replace the file path:
/ opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/drive_c/Program \\ Files/Google/Picasa3After that, go to: Applications> Graphics> Picasa> Picasa
