Ubuntu Wine Trouble

[PCGal]

Hello, I just installed Linux for the first time, and I've been having some issues installing Wine on Ubuntu 12.04. Whenever I go to type in the command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds

It says that the command:

sudo add-apt-repository

is not found. Granted, I am using Crouton on my Chromebook, so this isn't a full version of Ubuntu. I'm thinking that may be the issue, but I'm not super sure.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't used Ubuntu in a while, but I remember the PPA's name was ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

However, this shouldn't be the source of your problem. You're missing either the package python-software-properties or software-properties-common. You can installing them by running the command:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties software-properties common && sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Hope it helps!

get play on linux. It installs all the packages it needs to run wine.

all you have to do is apt-get install wine I'm pretty sure. Lol

Nah bro. Wine was removed from the official Ubuntu repositories since version 13.

You need to add the ppa manually and then install it.
