How to update PlayOnLinux?

  • 772

I just installed PlayOnLinux, it says:

  An updated version of PlayOnLinux is available (3.8.11).

and nothing more.

Doing apt-get update doesn't offer any updated version of POL.

What is the safe / regular way to update playonlinux?

  1. Best Answer

    Did you check the repositorys?

    Type the following commands:

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

    If you already did, running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade should install the latest version.

    You can find the above code for your current version (for future reference) on the following link: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html

  2. The best way to update Play on Linux is to go to their main website and download the package from there, and install it manually. Just download the .deb file and open it up. Use the software package manager for it. It should automatically install just like an .exe, that simple.

  3. There's a successor to PlayOnLinux recommended in the README of the original source code repository: https://www.phoenicis.org/. It's under development, but might be worth a try. It can be installed through flathub.
