Creating a Wine Prefix

I ran the command export WINEPREFIX="~/.wine_custom" in an attempt to make a wineprefix to get a game working. However, no output was made, so I assumed it worked. However, when I used the next command, winetricks corefonts dxvk dotnet472, I got this output:

---------------------------------------------
warning: Your version of wine  is no longer supported upstream. You should upgrade to 5.x
---------------------------------------------
Executing mkdir -p ~
ls: cannot access '~/.wine_custom/drive_c': No such file or directory
grep: ~/.wine_custom/*.reg: No such file or directory
---------------------------------------------
WINEPREFIX INFO:
Drive C: 

Registry info:
~/.wine_custom/*.reg:
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
warning: wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "wine: invalid directory ~/.wine_custom in WINEPREFIX: not an absolute path" 
---------------------------------------------

What did I do wrong?

Edit: After a bit of experimentation, I got the first command to work. but I now have a different output with the 2nd command.

Executing mkdir -p /home/username mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/username’: Permission denied

warning: Note: command mkdir -p /home/username returned status 1. Aborting.

How do I give permission to the command?

`~` doesn't expand when quoted - see related [Why does mkdir fail (no such file or directory) in a script with BIN_DIR="~/bin/"?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/977354/why-does-mkdir-fail-no-such-file-or-directory-in-a-script-with-bin-dir-bin)

Try this. `WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_custom" wine wineboot` and then `winetricks corefonts dxvk dotnet472`.

@Liso I got this output from the first command. `wine: chdir to /home/username/.wine_custom : No such file or directory`

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
