How To Install Wine Stable 3.0.3 In Ubuntu 18.04

By Sourabh /  Category: How To, Ubuntu

How to install Wine Stable 3.0.3 in Ubuntu 18.04. Wine 3.0.3 is a bug fix release (52 bug fixes). Wine (originally an acronym for “Wine Is Not an Emulator”) is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

Bugs fixed in 3.0.3 (total 52):

Install Wine Stable 3.0.3 in Ubuntu 18.04

Run the following commands in terminal to install Wine Stable 3.0.3 in Ubuntu 18.04

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key && sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Note

If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven’t already):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

On Linux Mint 17.x, the last line should be the following:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ trusty main'

Dialog-warning.svg On Linux Mint 18.x, the last line should be the following:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'

Dialog-warning.svg On Linux Mint 19.x, the last line should be the following:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'

Note

If you have previously used the distro packages, you will notice some differences in the WineHQ ones:

Files are installed to /opt/wine-devel or /opt/wine-staging.
Menu items are not created for Wine’s builtin programs (winecfg, etc.), and if you are upgrading from a distro package that had added them, they will be removed. You can recreate them yourself using your menu editor.
