"PlayOnLinux is a piece of software which allows you to easily install and use numerous games and apps designed to run with Microsoft Windows"
Play on Linux uses "Wine" (wine is not an emulator)
"Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows. Wine is still under active development. Not every program works yet, however there are already several million people using Wine to run their software."

Step 1. Download the Fedora ".repo" for Play on Linux to do so go to this
website: http://rpm.playonlinux.com/playonlinux.repo from your web browser select "File - Save Page As" a dialogue should now appear and you should have the option to save the page as "playonlinux.repo" select your "Home" folder from the left hand pane and hit "save".
Step 2. Next we need to move the .repo file to our yum repo directory to do so open Terminal and type the following:
sudo cp playonlinux.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
Step 3. Finally we must update our repos and install Play On Linux
sudo yum update
sudo yum install playonlinux
I installed playonlinux under fedora 16 and I can't see how to run it. With: yum list | grep playonlinux, I get:
