Wine Install

Hello,

I am trying to install Wine via terminal.

It is recommended that I install wine in a staging version: GitHub - robbert-vdh/yabridge: A modern and transparent way to use Windows VST2, VST3 and CLAP plugins on Linux

If I follow the instructions that are on the WINE wiki: Ubuntu WineHQ Repository - WineHQ Wiki

Then in the terminal it says: "Package winehq-staging cannot be found."

What am I doing wrong?

(Edit:Do I need to uninstall the stable version first?)

What do you get if you run an apt search on it?

apt search wine*

The output is too long for posting here.

TRy see if you can narrow it more down like

apt search winehq*

It doesn't seem that you successfully added the PPA to your sourcelist. You might want to double check it.

Oh, if I can read, I have a clear advantage: "Installing a development build". No, I do not intend to install yabridge in a development build. Then a stable version of WINE is sufficient. And that's what I have installed, by the looks of it!

Edit:
First of all, yabridge requires a recent-ish version of Wine (Staging). Users of Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Pop!_OS should install Wine Staging from the WineHQ repositories as the Wine versions provided by those distro's repositories may be too old to be used with yabridge. On other distros you should be able to just install wine-staging using your distro's package manager.

So a staging version after all - I'm already getting confused!

How? PPA? Please consider me a DAU (=stupidest user to be assumed)

Okay, it's a bit hard to measure how well known people are without knowing them :wink:

Seems the have taken down the support for Ubuntu 20.04/Zorin 16, sorry. That's what my German can read from the output.
You need to find another way. What do you need the latest wine for?

EDIT, ah I just read what you need it for.

Okay, then i have to try it with the installed version of WINE?
Maybe I'm lucky and it still works?

I can't say. I never used wine.

I will ask the developer!

Unfortunately, I have not gotten any further with the installation.

And I get a hint in the upper right corner that I can't deal with:

What do I have to do now? I do not understand.

You have to install the i386 libraries. This is normal for any version of WINE.

sudo apt install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0:i386

sudo apt install zorin-windows-app-support winetricks wine32:i386

The second command will install the Zorin version of WINE. You can remove the zorin-windows-app-support and include a specific version of you like.
