In case the Wine version available from Ubuntu repository does not fit your purpose, you may install Wine directly from WineHQ repositories which will yield latest stable or development Wine version possible.

I installed wine 3.0 via terminal, but itās doesnāt appear into menu. My OS is Kubuntu 18.04.

Upgrading to 18.04 from 17.10 broke almost all my programs running via wine. Key+repo+dist-upgrade fixed everything. Thanks

Hello and thank you for the guide. When I use
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main
it tells me āthe repositoryā¦ does not have a release fileā and I canāt update because of it. Can anyone tell me what should be doing?
Elis
Thank you for this!

Breno Maia -> kylerkkr
If you use Ubuntu 18.04, the repositories still didnāt not updated with the last wine build for this distro
Benno Kushnir
$ wget -qO- https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'
Does this mean the winehq repository is not yet up to date with āBionic Beaverā (as it referes to āxenialā)?
Lubos Rendek Mod -> Benno Kushnir
yes, the Bonic PPA is not yet available! From this reason we need to use tha latest LTS PPA which xenial.
Julio Molero -> Lubos Rendek
artful is available btw (using this one)
Julio Molero -> Lubos Rendek
xenial one is incompatible with some windows runtimes, artful solves that

Nice article and great help. Wish people stop net picking on spelling. It is annoying. (Helps to point out, but lets not always be the spelling patrol!) Keep up the good job.
Lubos Rendek Mod -> Hector Garcia Jr
thanks for the support!
In case of the previous comment it was way more than just spelling mistake and Iām glad that it was brought to my attention.

$ sudo apt install win64

at today, the only available winhq for bionic is the developer version, the rest in artful repositories
This guide is very good to install WineHQ in Linux Mint 19 Bionic. The repository for Bionic does not exist yet, for this reason it is advisible to use āartful mainā for the time being.
I followed this guide to the end, checked version and the installation completed properly. I installed Wine HQ Stable version wine-3.0.1
The next step, which is not mentioned in this guide, is the configuration of WineHQ.
After you complete the installation you will not see any icons of Wine in your system. This will only happen after configuration and installation of Windows apps.
To configure you need to run the command winecfg
You will be requested to install a couple of apps Mono and Gecko. Just click the āInstallā button on the pop up window. The installation of Gecko will show up twice, which is normal, just click the āInstallā button twice. After you have completed the installation of these two apps a new window will pop up, the Wine configuration window. Nothing special here, just click the OK button.
Now you are ready to install Windows applications in your Linux system.
Right click the ā.exeā files, select āopen with wineā and let the installer run the installation of your apps.
I use wine for foobar2000 which allows to listen to DSD files and make audio convertion to several formats.
To uninstall, do: sudo apt-get remove --autoremove wine64 OR sudo apt-get remove --autoremove wine32
last time i tried to install wine on ubuntu 18.04
it killed my unity desktop and my vpn installation.
i restored the system but now
when i try to āsudo apt install wine-stableā
it tells me:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libnux-4.0-0 libpkcs11-helper1 libunity-core-6.0-9 nginx-full openvpn
php7.2-fpm phpmyadmin session-shortcuts ubuntu-unity-desktop unity
unity-session
after that - i think - my desktop will be crashed agianā¦
what can i do?
is it possible to install wine without removing unity and vpn?
I needed to add another directory for the installation to complete. Maybe you can add it to your tutorial.
sudo apt-add-repository Index of /wine-builds/ubuntu
Thank you!
