*NOTE: There is a newer guide available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga2lNM72-Kw

A Guide on how to install EA's Origin client on Ubuntu with PlayOnLinux. This tutorial can be used for Ubuntu 12.04/12.10/13.04/13.10/14.04 and any other Linux distro that has PlayOnLinux.

The EA Origin client is FREE! So, you're more than welcome to try it yourself.

To follow this video, you will need:
1. PlayOnLinux 4.1.8 or greater
2. OriginSetup.exe (NOT OriginThinSetup.exe)
3. Wine 1.7.13 (or newer) installed in POL

Hopefully this video is still easy to follow. Whether you can actually play the games on Origin or download them is another question. This video only guides you on getting the client up and running. You can chat, browse the store, buy games, but the other functionality, whether working or not, is unknown to me yet.
