    Installing from the Ubuntu repository:

    PlayOnLinux is available from the default Ubuntu repositories on Ubuntu versions 12.04 and later.
    Install it with

    sudo apt-get install playonlinux

    Then click ➕ Install a program in PlayOnLinux and search for the Windows program that you want to install.

    However, if you want the latest version, you will need to add the PlayOnLinux repository.

    Installing from the PlayOnLinux repository:

    The following example is for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

    wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_precise.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

    If you want to ensure that you have the correct repo for your version of Ubuntu, or only want to install from the .deb file, you can check here: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html
