VOCALOID4 doesn't work in Wine on Linux systems, at least according to some people you'll talk to. You open it, and it does nothing. Thankfully, there's a way to actually run it properly.
The prerequisites for this tutorial are literally just "have Wine installed" and "own VOCALOID4".
If you've already installed and run VOCALOID4, uninstall it and then do this guide, or else it won't work.
The first step would be to simply install VOCALOID4 and any updates you need to install for it as you would on a Windows system, and after that your voicebanks. Then, activate them. Not the most difficult thing in the world.
After that, what you want to do is go to the place where VOCALOID4 was installed and copy all of VOCALOID4's files and move them out of where they were originally, into a new folder somewhere in Program Files.
Then, you're pretty much done. You can run VOCALOID4 as you would normally.
As a quick side note, if the paths you save your VSQ(x) or MIDI files in contains special characters such as Japanese or Chinese, you're going to have to launch VOCALOID4 through the terminal like this:
Otherwise Wine will refuse to open them. I think there's also some way to set it so that Wine does that automatically when you open a program so you don't have to do it yourself. Replace {locale} with your locale, so en_US or whatever.
This also might work with VOCALOID3.
