Linux Panic · July 3, 2022

\If you are a user of Ubuntu there is a good chance at some point in time you have used Wine at some point in time. And at some point you have also questioned why things are the way they are and how to install wine. And when you install Wine through the terminal you do not get the latest version of Wine, in this case Wine 7.0.

Well I am going to walk you through how to install Wine 7.0 through the terminal and I will also give you access to an install script repository and a video I made so that you can choose your own method of following along.

So lets get into the installation process shall we.

Step 1

Enabling the 32 bit architecture. This is something that needs to be done to prevent any conflicts with installing any software through wine.

sudo dpkg -add-architecture i386

Step 2

Next you need to download the WineHQ key to be able to download from the WineHQ sources

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

Step 3

Now you need to move the key into the correct place

sudo mv winehq.key /usr/share/keyrings/winehq-archive.key

Step 4

Now you need to add the WineHQ repository to the sources list

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources

Step 5

Now you need to move the WineHQ sources to the sources list

sudo mv winehq-jammy.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Step 6

Now you need to update the system

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 7

Now we install Wine version 7.0

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Now you have Wine version 7.0 installed. Which now means you can install any Windows software without too many problem. I can also vouch that Epic Games Store will also work through Lutris as well.

Now go fourth and use Linux how you want it without the bloatware that comes with Windows.
