I’m not sure how, at the moment, but this is what I did (on Ubuntu 18.04.06 LTS). Using the details on the VSI site, log in to their sftp server, and download VSIOPENVMSSTUDENTPACKAGE.EXE. Run this under Wine, and the installer starts, and seems to complete successfully. A PuTTY window may, or may not appear. I had to close it, and kill the DEC.EXE process that was running in Linux. Then, search in the KDE menu for “VSI”, and run “OpenVMS Student Package”. PuTTY reappears, bootup messages go past, and after quite a long wait, the logout message of the system startup appears, and pressing “Return” gets you a “Username:” prompt! Login as SYSTEM (no password), and you get the DCL prompt. I’ve no idea why this works, but the emulator seems to run ok under Wine.
