How do I install Wine on Ubuntu 17.10 64-bit?

  • 772

Running on Ubuntu Desktop 17.10, I tried to install wine but I always get the following error message:

root@abdrzj-VPCEH26EA:/etc/apt# apt-get install wine
Reading package lists... Done

Package wine is a virtual package provided by:

  winehq-devel 2.22.0~xenial
  wine-stable 2.0.2-2ubuntu1
  wine-development 2.18-1
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package 'wine' has no installation candidate

  2. Run command to install the key:

    wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key && sudo apt-key add Release.key

    Also add the Wine repository via command:

    sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

    run sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 to make sure 32 bit architecture is enabled

    Lastly, run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-stable to install wine-stable.
